Potty Training Bear

KaeLynn has been doing really well with potty training. We have had few bad days, but then she surprises me and does awesome the next. I can tell she is more confident, especially because yesterday she was potty training her Bear. This Bear she has had since she was born and it is one of her favorite stuffed animals. She dresses him in her clothes. Puts diapers on him, and cooks him food from her play kitchen. Yesterday I walk into her room to hear her saying "Bear, it is not okay!" I ask her what happened and she was "cleaning up the floor" because she told me that bear pooped on the carpet. She "cleaned" up his mess he made, wiped him down with a wipe, and took him to sit on her little potty. She then told him to use the potty. After a minute, she pushed him aside to show him how it is done. She went and then decided that she would share her candy she got for going potty with him. I am so proud!

Pregnany update

I am 17 weeks pregnant and this morning I felt the baby move! I feel so much better than I did. I am still sensitive to vegetables. I have to disguise them in my food and smoothies. I am slowly starting to eat them raw which is better then when they are cooked. I am still able to run! I am much slower than I used to be. Roy'l and I used to run 3 miles in 30 minutes easy! I run for 30 mins only so if I don't get 3 miles in I still stop. I am not as tired and don't fall asleep on the couch right after KaeLynn goes down. I still need naps every once in a while. My anatomy ultrasound in on the 29Th. We are so excited to find out the sex of our baby!

Potty Training

Potty training has begun! We started yesterday morning and it was not fun! Once she finally went on the little potty and got candy afterwards, I could see that it finally clicked with her. Since yesterday afternoon she has been doing great. She does the best when she has no pants or underwear on. She seems to be more aware that way. This morning she actually went poop on the potty twice! I was dreading the pooping part because I know it can be the hardest transition for them, but she did so well. She didn't even tell me that she needed to go. She just went by herself. She was quite shocked afterwards and seemed to be be quite disgusted. I was also grossed out. I almost lost my lunch! I know we have a long way to go, but I am very proud of her for her progress so far. Another big girl transition she did was today at the park. It was so beautiful outside that we took a break from potty training and went to play! All of the sudden she didn't need me anymore to do things. She climbed up the bars by herself, went down the big slide by herself, and was so confident and doing what Javen was doing. I was so shocked! She is just growing up so fast!!!
