Potty Training - Week Three

Today has been a successful day. He has been telling me all day that he needed to go and staying dry and clean in between. We had a very frusterating weekend on the potty training end because we were at camp for a family renunion and he was just distracted, I think. Today we were home all day and things have gone very smooth, so hopefully we are turing the final corner.

BTW, we finally made it to JB's last week on Tuesday and Thursday.

Potty Training - Thursday through Sunday

We are down to one accident a day. So usually just when I have the false sense of "we are starting to get this," he has an accident. I guess this is just really good reason to keep up with the laundry. I have promised him that we will go to JB's to get ice cream when he is dry all day, and I have yet to enjoy the ice cream cone I think I deserve. Hopefully we finally get it tomorrow. I have one more week before school starts, so I am hoping that if we focus on this again this week, we will have mastered the skill before school starts. If not, I may need more than an ice cream cone as incentive.

Potty Training Day 3 (Wednesday)

Went to the Columbus Zoo with Grandma, Aunt Mindy, and cousins. Shouldn't count this day as as a potty training day. Although he was dry the entire time we were at the zoo. It was the 2 huge accidents when we got home that made me shake my head. Maybe we aren't as far as I thought.

Potty Training Day 2 (Tuesday)

Still 4 accidents - no noticeable improvement :(

Dinner at Old Oyster Factory

Family vacation in Hilton Head was the first week of August. We had dinner one night at one of our favorite restraurants - Old Oyster Factory. Jason ordered his favorite "appetizer" the chilled seafood platter. Good food and a great view.

Micaela's Boo Boo

Last Sunday, August 9, Micaela was playing during Sunday School on the playground at church. She slid wearing flip flops on the gravel and hit the 4X4 post of the playground. She has had a nice bruise as well as a swollen face. So far the cut seems to be healing nicely, but we are praying that she won't have a permant scar.
