Potty Training

So a few months ago, we started to potty train Claire again, (we tried earlier and it was not fun for any involved, so we stopped) she was doing so well, she was going in the potty and would even sometimes let us know when she needed to go. The only problem, which I already had a feeling would be rough was the dreaded poop.

So, she wasn't having any accidents a day, unless she had to poop and then all of a sudden 2 a day, 4 a day sometimes 6 a day. Talk about tired of washing sheets and underwear, and pants all week long. This was happening the same time that Landon was getting teeth so I was washing his bedding at the time as well, if he was having issues going with that, I was struggling with having to do bedding sometimes 3+ times a week.

So Brandon saw and amazing prize at the store and brought it home, so I made a chart to keep track of the days that she went in the potty, if she had an accident she has to move all the way back to number 1.

She made it to day 9 and then we had to start over once, BUT great news she can now poop in the potty, and she gets so excited, and we get so excited with her. When she first went she raised her hands in the air and yelled, "Mom, I pooped in the potty!!" We clapped our hands and Landon even joined in the fun, which helped her a lot.

So below is the chart, are you surprised it has cars on it, she has to get magnet mater all the way to the top (day 20) and she gets the prize below:
Mater that blows bubbles, what more could my little lady ask for, BUBBLES and MATER in the same toy. Sometimes during the day I see her just staring up at mater, and then at the chart, we are getting closer to this fun toy at our house, wish us luck!!

Our Summer Adventures!!

Some of our Summer Adventures have included:

Playing in the pool, but taking a break for a sucker or popsicle

Have Claire climb into Landon's crib and hearing them talking and giggling with each other

Playing with friends

Going to the Splash pad
with cousins

More popsicles, all though Claire loves to share hers with Landon every time

Dragging her brother to her room, lock mommy out and giggle and play for about 30 minutes before a break in was staged by the one locked out!

Good thing Landon has figured out crawling since this last picture so she doesn't have to drag him anymore he just follows her around now, she loves it!!

We have a few more adventures too, but they get there own posts, so see ya soon!!
