Day 2 and Day 3 Recap

Day 2 - I am just so impressed with Haven. On this day, we still kept close to home and I gave her lots of juice. She did a good job putting her poops in the toilet. You could tell she wasnt quite sure at first, but she kept at it and was so proud of herself at the end. She only had a small pee accident when I put her in a time out and then again at the end of lunch. Overall, Im so impressed and think she is doing amazing.

Day 3 - I had some errands to run so I didnt give her any juice, just her water as normal. She didnt have any accidents and we went to Costco, Savemart and the flooring store, oh and swim lessons. This girl is doing GREAT!!

Day 1 - Potty Training recap

Yesterday I decided to potty train Haven. Why? You might ask. Well, the short of it is, it just had to happen. And I bit the bullet and decided to try. The sooner I start the sooner its over, right???

She did really well. I started by telling her the day before and we went to go pick out big girl panties. She was very adamant about wanting Minnie Mouse ones - not Princess, like I supposed, but Minnie. So we got the Minnie ones and a little seat to fit inside our toilet. Our toilets are awfully high off the ground so I thought this best.

She took right to it. When I got her up we went and sat on the potty. Nothing happened but we gotta start the habit. Then I fed her juice like crazy so she would have to pee a lot. We went every 30 min or so and she was fabulous.
The only accidents she had was poop and she told me right after it happened. And then at lunch she started to pee but then held it til we got to the toilet. Im so impressed!

Amazing Dad

Not only is my husband an incredible husband, he is an amazing Dad. Here are some pics of him doing things with the kids this past weekend without my prompting or help.

Justus and his life choices

Let me introduce you to my son, Justus. He is 4.

He has quite a good head on his shoulders because he has a job - he works at Citibank,

he has a truck - a Dodge, blue,

and he also has a wife - Hannah.

Now Hannah is not necessarily in the loop about this, but they also have ten kids, already prenamed (I cant remember the names, but I think they are very much like the ones from Dinosaur Train cartoon).

He has already told me everything about his wedding. They will sing silly songs and play knock knock jokes. Hannah is a Princess and he is a Prince Charming and when talked to about the importance of marrying a girl who loves Jesus, Justus promptly and seriously replied "Hannah loves Jesus." Like, didnt you know Mom? It is a matter of fact!

Well, I have to say, I am happy with his life choices ;)

Strawberry plants

My kids have been so fascinated with strawberry plants since we often stop at our neighborhood strawberry patch shack for fresh picked strawberries. They always want to go pick their own, so I decided we could just grow some. So here the kids are planting their own strawberry plants.

Present

I have the best husband in the whole wide world. Last night he brought me home a present. Its one of the Starbucks cups that you can keep reusing. He is also so thoughtful and bought one for my friend so we can use them on our play dates. He is the best!!

Moms Day

I had a great Moms day. Neil made me coffee this morning - which is huge cause he doesnt drink coffee, nor does he know how to make it. He did a great job. We went to church then relaxed, then over to GGs to celebrate with her and Papa. It was a great day!
