My babies are growing up.


Mostly I was tired of the toddler bed in our room taking up space. I figured we would approach it the same way we did with Axl...just put it in the room and start her out in it at naps and bedtime just to get her used to it. This afternoon, the shoe drawer was just too tempting so she ended up back in the crib, but tonight I just went in to see this. :)

(side note: If Erin or Erica are reading this, please still come get the bed whenever you need it. :) Coop and I will have fun picking out a new one!)

(Amanda, the blanket it perfect and oh, so snuggly!)


Also--I'm on Fall Break and I kept Axl home from school and stayed home from the gym to get some serious potty training in. The morning was seriously unsuccessful. We made a potty chart with a picture of some roller skates at the end. Axl was so excited that he would NOT get off the potty, but could also NOT pee. I would say that he probably sat on the potty for atleast 2 hours total just this morning. When I pried him off of it because I was tired of sitting there he cried and cried for roller skates...poor guy. He finally peed on the potty once (Well, he said he did and I saw just a little drip) after Tyler got home, and tonight before bath I asked Tyler to show him peeing standing up. Worked like a charm. Too bad I am the one home this week, because, well...peeing standing up for me would be quite difficult. Anyway, he went to bed with 2 stickers. :) Maybe we're getting somewhere...

She looks so cute and I can't believe how big she is! As for the potty training, just stick with it. The thing that finally worked for us was donuts. Noah would pee on the potty for donuts. Completely unhealthy but you gotta do what you gotta do :)
