Baby Sister will be blessed

Baby Sister will be blessed on Sunday. Most of my family is coming tomorrow for a visit and to see her be blessed. I love having our family get together and watch the cousins and friends play together.

Potty Training Woes

Please don't judge me, but my 3 year old is not potty trained. She will pee on the potty but she will not poop on the potty. We don't know how to get her to poop on the potty. Yesterday I bought her an Elmo and put it in front of her. I told her that when she pooped on the potty she could have the Elmo. She sat there for 20 minutes, I gave her books to look at. Finally, she did it, for the first time!! She opened her Elmo and was happy. The bad news is that she pooped two more times yesterday and they were not in the potty. How do I do this? She still even has pee accidents in her panties, but she will pee on the potty.

The funny thing is she squats on the potty instead of sitting on it.

Baby Sister's 2 Month Check-Up

Weight 10.3 lbs (35%)
Length 21 inches (7%)

Baby Sister got shots today and did not like them. It's so awful to hear their wail of betrayal as they are poked multiple times by the nurse.

Saturday Thoughts

Just some thoughts from this week:

• I finally found a custom photographer to take our family pictures which we had scheduled for today. It was to cold so we are rescheduling for next month. Everyone was about ready so the morning was stressful even though we finally cancelled the session. Next month I just have to deal with it again. I don't like family picture day until the pictures are taken.
• All three kids had cavities and we spent three days at the dentist office this week. Monday we have one more visit and then it's another 6 months for the kids. We have to do better at brushing and flossing.
• We had New Beginnings in Young Women this week and had a fabulous speaker. I was so grateful I attended and was touched by the special spirit in the meeting.
• We are blessing the baby next Sunday so I have lots to do to get my house ready for family to stay with us. The kids will be happy to see all their cousins.
• My sweet baby is starting to smile and she is so precious.
• I am reading Superfudge with ZMan and we are loving it. It makes me laugh so hard, I think I am enjoying it more than he is.
  

Happy Valentine's Day!

Our Dentist Visit

Yesterday all three kids got their teeth cleaned. This was the Doodles first dentist visit and she did so good. She even let them do x-rays. Unfortunately she does have a cavity. Actually all three kids have cavities, bummer.
