You all know that we've been working on potty training around here. Boo had been doing great keeping his under-roos dry. He had not gotten to the point where he would tell us he needed to go potty, but he would always go when we'd take him. Well, one day last week he started wetting his pants. I mean, full up wet his pants down into his shoes, etc. The next day we were at the supper table and I heard a funny sound and I kept thinking, "What is that?" Well, it turned out to be Boo sloshing around in his booster chair because he peed again! Gross! So, I came up with a new plan to motivate him to potty on the toilet. I know he can do it, he's just choosing not to right now. At Target, he was asking for "The King" car (a character from the CARS movie). So, I bought a multi-pack of cars and came home and lined them up on the TV. If he keeps his pants dry all day, he gets to chose one car. If he wets himself, he has to put it back. Too harsh? What do you think? He picked Chick (green car) the first day and The King (blue car) the second day. And on the third day, he lost them both within an hour of each other for wetting his pants. So, now they're all lined up again. I hope he earns one today!
Mo-mo-mo mo-motivation!
Why is it that babies LOVE to sleep on Daddies?She just fell asleep on him with no rocking or bouncing!
I think they feel safe with their Dads.
First trip to church since Lil Bit arrived.
Soo cute!
Got drool?Part I.
Got drool?Part II.
We ventured out to gymnastics today for our playgroup.This lil guy couldn't have been happier.
I was so happy to see my friends too!
Bit slept and then hitched a ride in the Baby Bjorn while we were there.
Okay, this is totally random, but I got a kick out of it.Can you tell what this is a picture of?
This is my arm and a plastic clothes tag on my shirt.What's funny is that I wore this maternity shirt throughout both Boo and Bit's pregnancies and I just noticed this tag the other day.
Oh brother!
That's definitely pregnancy brain for ya!

Gorgeous pictures!
I think that it is a great idea to line them up and let Boo have one only if he keeps dry. You're doing great Momma! Love, K
You'r doing great Mom! Boo will soon realize he's not happy in the wet pants and that he also wants to play with ... "The Cars". Great pictures.
Love BeBe
LOVE love love the cars idea. And I will be using it in the future. :) J is totally no where ready. We talk about it everyday, and he says no. He is very emphatic and has absolutely no interest in going in the potty. I have decided to wait until summer. Then Patrick can deal with it! :) G probably is just "reverting" since Lil Bit has arrived. It took AR about a month to realized J was here to stay and she went back to some baby behaviors. Just keep encouraging! :)
Girl, the picture of those cars is what I live with! Ha! Z sleeps with and HAS TO HAVE Lighting and the King (he calls Richard Petty).
Hope it works!
Cute pic of ya'll going to church. I know it's an adventure to get out the door and go anywhere! Way to go.
PS. I am so with you about the small carts at HL. With the boys and my purse there is not much room left. ; )
