Potty Training Day #1

Yes, we are starting potty training! Last night I got our house prepared....

-waterproof blanket to cover couches
-LOTS of underwear
-prizes for when he goes
-m&ms
-potty chart
-LOTS of stickers
-potty game with fun activities
-juice boxes
-potty movie with potty song
-two potties

We were ready! He woke up and instead of putting a diaper on, we started with big boy buzz underwear. I showed him the chart, the prizes, the game, the potty and we watched the movie. He sat on the potty a couple times then I noticed he was wet! ACCIDENT #1. New pair of underwear! Sat on potty, played, sat on potty, played, sat on potty, ACCIDENT #2! New pair of underwear! Must not have been finished... needed a new pair of underwear. I then noticed that to get him to sit on the potty and stay long enough for something to happen I had to bribe him with m&ms. Please keep in mind that I also pushed grape juice boxes on him like they were going out of style! So he would sit on the potty and I would hand him one m&m at a time. He finally WENT on the potty!!!! I was so impressed! In addition to the candy, since he went he also got a prize, a little smurf! About 30 minutes later he said, "peepee!" and ran to me. I threw him on the potty and he went AGAIN! I was so very excited!

After lunch it took a turn for the worst. He didn't want to sit on the potty, started getting tired and didn't feel good. So he went down for a nap and woke up sick. He is now wearing a diaper at the ER with Todd, Mimi and Papa! So I have no idea how our potty training is going to go tomorrow!

Oh what a week! What a week and two days actually! Its amazing to me how one minute life can be going just perfect. Wyatt sound asleep for afternoon nap, Todd loading the dishwasher, me walking out the door to run a couple of errands alone and in a flash, with just one phone call your whole world can miraculously be turned upside down. My father-in-law passed away very unexpected on January, 23.2010. Within an hour we had a family friend with watching Wyatt, our bags packed and we were in the car on the way to Kiawah Island. Its amazing how life just changes. I am not going to go into details, because I don't wan to relive that time. The past week was really just a whirl wind of emotions and reliving them right now is not in the cards. What I will say is that Morgan Hall was a wonderful man. We will miss him. KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. - Entered into eternal rest on the afternoon of January 23, 2010, L. Morgan Hall, III, husband of Nancy Chalker Hall, who resides on Kiawah Island, SC. The...

We all need friends

I remember almost a year ago when a good friend of mine invited me to a lunch group, Friday's at noon. At that time in my life I needed it! I needed to get out and meet new friends, other ladies with children about the same age, going through the same thing. This was a life saver for me. I am not a very outgoing person and it's hard to make friends when you don't have a full time job. Long story made short.... I made some GREAT friends in that group. As all good things to do though, things changed, people moved on and life became a little crazy for all of us. So the lunch group is starting up again and even though some people have left, we have some new faces to get to know! Wednesday a couple of us went out for a ladies night out and it was great! Two new people for me to get to know and I feel like I have made two new life long friends. It's so refreshing to just have a night out with the ladies and yes, we may spend the whole night talking about our babies and what t...

Why you will need to add a few more to your boycotting list

I have not said a lot about this because I try to not engage in this on Facebook. However I do want to share this interesting article. It might surprise you that I am actually a very conservative person but yes this is my view on this subject... but for all of you boycotting Target you might need to add a few to the list... I do not agree fully with the way that Target handled this issue but I also don't agree with the way a majority of the people are handling it. I believe we are supposed to stand up for what we believe in. We know that we live in a sin filled world and people are not perfect, I am not perfect. Aaron Wilson wrote, "Boycotting as it turns out, is just too easy. Christians are not called to avoid the culture out of disgust, but rather to engage it in wisdom, love, and truth." His article talks about why boycotting is not the best answer for this situation. Other companies will likely follow Target with policies similar, are we going to boycott all ...
