Making Progress

When we first started this potty training process, Levi wanted to pretend that his dinosaurs had a place to swim...we are making progress though!



Now as long as I keep a long shirt on him and no bottoms (yes, nudey pitooty) he will not have an accident and based on this picture...finds some extra reading time while he does his thing. We also bribe. Yes, bribe! We have a potty chart and after a certain number of stickers you get to pick a Hot Wheels car and if you have collected 25 stickers you get a lollipop as big as your head! Now we just have to start introducing pants in public...





We are also making progress with organizing all of our crap...I mean stuff. The Dymo LetraTag label maker has changed my life! How fun it is to organize and then make a fancy label for it! It's like a little reward for all your hard labor of purging!



I'll close with a picture that Abby recently painted...a reminder that there is always a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow...NO...wrong message...instead a reminder that God is always faithful to His people and He will always provide a way...whether you are struggling to potty train your little one, or move across the ocean...He is FAITHFUL!

Wow! Coleman would get a lollipop every day if I did that! Oh, but we gave up for now on the potty - so maybe I'll try that in a few months. Ahhh! (Can't think about it or I get hives!) ... and I love the rainbow pot-o-gold picture. It's gorgeous.
