More Potty Training Part???

S is doing WONDERFUL going potty all by himself. It is a such a huge event when a toddler is potty trained. I never understood the significance of it until I had one of my own potty trained and now both of my babies are potty trained. I still put a diaper on S during naps and at bedtime but he is waking up dry after naps, so that will change soon. The sticker potty chart has worked again for the Piper Family!

Siblings

It was the funniest thing today. S followed L around and did everything she did and it was driving her BONKERS! I laughed out loud for a good 2 minutes watching her try to get away from him to no avail. I had to take a break from finishing this story to go get S off the potty. He went poo and decided to wipe himself, resulting in poo all over his potty chair and the toilet - YUCK! Okay done for now - off to paint with the kids!!

More Potty Training

S is doing wonderfully on the potty training thing. I guess it's true to let the child lead you in the process instead of forcing it (provided they're not 10 I guess!). He had ZERO accidents today. He is still wearing a diaper for naps and bedtime but otherwise, he's in undies. So proud of my big guy!!

S is Potty Training

S had such a great day today potty training!!! He only had one accident all day long - WOOHOO!! My goal is to have him potty trained before the new baby comes in October and it looks like that might be possible after all. He even went poo in the potty today - big deal around here :-) His only accident occurred while I was gone to Target to get the curtains to replace the closet door in their room. Daddy Piper was removing closet doors and the kids were playing in the playroom. L was wiping him up and S was running around with no undies. L explained he had an accident and she was cleaning him up. She is going to be a big help with the new baby!

Mundane Monday

We still have a puppy! Yep - no one has come to claim the little rascal so I guess we are now the proud owners of a mutt named Jay-Jay. We have no clue what kind of dog he is but he is a happy, go lucky, friendly dog, so he's here to stay. We went to Petsmart this morning to pick up some of the essentials a dog needs to live comfortably.

We are still working on potty training with S. He is doing great going when you put him on but not at remembering to go by himself. He left quite the trail of surprise today in the playroom - poop! He pooped in the playroom and L found it, so Mommy had to come running to clean it up 'cause she was DISGUSTED by it. I want to know when did I STOP being disgusted by random turds lying about????

Daddy Piper has been slow at work lately so this has brought some stress upon the Paradise portion of our household. Let's hope this situation improves quickly. Financially it sucks to have work slow but otherwise it is nice to have his smiling face around here. Heck, I even got to sleep in until 10 today, awoke to bacon and pancakes and he even started to get my coffee ready for me (Thanks again Lisa for my WONDERFUL machine!). So it's not all bad having Daddy Piper around, just wish that lottery would fall in our laps and soon!

I have been doing much better at the organization thing. Someone could stop by at a moment’s notice and I wouldn't even be embarrassed to let them in. I've come a long way baby and I ain't going back! It has helped to have a weekly schedule and to keep up with it.

So now it's off to fold that laundry and put away the last of the dishes!!
