Potty Training!

Our biggest news would have to be that Elora is pretty much potty trained. Not at night, but that will come in time... She is doing really well, and hasn't had a daytime accident since last Thursday. We started potty training on the Saturday of General Conference. Travis took Max away to run some errands so it could just be me and Elora time with no distractions. I put her in dry underwear and kept praising and giving treats to her for staying dry and using the potty, and we used a doll that wets as an example. I gave her lots to drink that first day, and only had one accident in the initial morning training. But after she had that accident, she was pretty paranoid, and pretty much stayed on the potty ALL DAY LONG because she was so afraid of having another accident... She did have two more accidents that first day, and she didn't want to go to bed because she wanted to stay on the potty. The second day, I was afraid she would want to stay on the potty all day again, but I didn't give her so much to drink and she eased up, and knew when she had to go, and no accidents the second day. It was amazing!! She's done really well ever since except for a few accidents when we went to a friend's house... But needless to say, we are soooo happy for her and us not having to change her or pay for her diapers anymore. YIPPEE!!!!

One happy family
Max learned how to crawl up the stairs!!!Here's Max during conference, blocking him in, so he wouldn't go for the stairs...

Max had a tough day, and fell asleep before we could give him his dinner...
