Last week was very exciting at our house! Lucy is finally - after 4 1/2 years - potty trained!! We do realize that most parents with 4 1/2 year olds were celebrating this years ago but our turn has finally come!! We've tried just about every bribe possible. We've been really patient with her but it was starting to get annoying when Lucy would wear underwear all day long but as soon as she had to poop she'd come and ask for a diaper - long enough to take care of business and leave me with another dirty diaper to change. Finally we told her NO MORE TREATS of any kind until she pooped in the toilet and that she could poop in her underwear (which Lucy would NEVER do) or the toilet but diapers were not an option anymore!! So she did it!! And just as amazing - Ethan who has showed zero interest in the toilet started wearing underwear one day later!!!! Miracles do happen!! Ethan is not in underwear all the time but he is close. Perhaps our christmas gift will be not having any kids in diapers (which will only last for a week or so but it's better than having 3 in diapers!!)Monday, November 27, 2006
A little potty talk

Amy...Congrats! Potty trained kids rock! 2 at once, what a treat. We hope that you are feeling okay. We think of you guys often. We love you!
Yeah for Lucy and Ethan!! That means I don't have to change 3 diapers in January also!! Love, Mom
Amy, don't be so hard on yourself! Lucy just barely turned 4! And you were in the middle of a move across the world, a pregnancy and so many other changes! Good for her for doing it! Just remember--accidents still happen! Sometimes Lydia forgets to leave herself enough time to get to the bathroom! Ugh!
Hooray for Lucy and Ethan! Isn't it great when they can actually use the potty?? By the way, I think we have a few of those my little pony underwear at our house too:) but hello kitty is the winner this week.
Love E
Hey Andy, remember when we got underoos for Christmas? Maybe you guys can do the same for your kids this year. hee hee
it is nice when they start wearing panties, it is so much easier to get a really good feelwhen she is on your lap and those are very sexy panties, love a feel of her then pull them down and see her fat slit
