Potty Training...

I'm not one to flood the interweb with loads of potty pictures. However, a few, tasteful, shots must be documented. This will be the last you hear of potty talk on this blog...

A few weeks ago Evyn Kate started crying really hard when she needed to go #2. And then she would scream even louder until you changed her diaper. We could tell she was recognizing the feeling of needing to go and she wasn't liking the feeling once she went.

A few days later Christopher caught her at the right time and instead of waiting it out, he put her on the potty and she went #2. Since then she has been successfully going atleast once a day on the potty. She will tell us when she starts to feel like she needs to go. Which can be annoying since it will take a few trys on the potty before she actually goes.

She is still 100% in a diaper but we talk about it all the time and she has had very few accidents since we started.

It's always a slow and sometimes frustrating process but we are letting Evyn take the lead on this one for now.

If nothing else, she looks so cute sitting on the potty!

New Trick....

Can you guess what it is? She is so proud of herself and loves that she sounds like a bird! 

Lately....EK

 Disclaimer: I haven't blogged much. {Ya Think} No particular reason. One day turned in to the next and then {POOF} I'm really behind. But alas, I have that nudge everyday to just start somewhere. So here I am....

-Evyn Kate turned 2 last month. Really just 2 weeks ago. On the 22nd.
-She has now decided she doesn't want to sit in her high chair and she wants to use the big girl potty. We are in that weird beginning stages where all she wants to do is sit on the toilet for 2 seconds then proclaim that she is done, want to use some toilet paper, and hop off. Only to want to get back on the potty 5 minutes later. 20 times a day. In her defense, she is so close to mastering #2 on the potty. Actually, it's been a few days since she has gone in her diaper. It's how the whole potty training thing got started. She would start to scream when she needed to go and hated the feeling of it being on her bum. One day, Chris took her on the potty when she started screaming and she went. Now she tells us she needs to go and runs to the bathroom. We wanted to have her potty trained by the summer anyway but never thought she would lead the way! For now, we aren't pushing it and she is still wearing a diaper all day.
-Loves to get her nails painted.
-Enjoys the park so much and loves to go down the big slide by herself.
-She does roll call all the time: "Daddy, Mommy, Elodie, Addysen, Evyn"
-She calls Elodie "LD" and Addysen "Addys
-Says things like "COMING!" and "Thank You Mommy"

Diamondbacks Game!

My visiting teacher has season tickets to the Diamonbacks Baseball games. Yesterday she put a word out on facebook that she wasn't using her tickets that night and wanted to know if anyone wanted them!
I immediately responded to her and we took the girls to the game. We met Chris after work, rode the lightrail to the game, and enjoyed a beautiful evening at the ball park!
