This picture says it all... oh, what a week! We started the week with Potty Training Boot Camp. I even bought an ebook to help us out. In a nut shell... absolutely no pull ups, some salty foods, lots and lots of yummy fluids, and enough praise to fill a baptist church!
Also no pants and every pair of underwear you can find. The results: we are potty trained at school and at night and naps, but not so much at home. We have not given up... we have not returned to the pull ups and found a new prize that seems to work... pez candy for his Woody dispenser. We will see how this weekend goes!
In baby news... would you believe this precious little angle has a horrible case of acid reflux. We went in for a sonogram and it was confirmed. She started Mylanta, Prevacid, and they even want us to put some rice cereal in her bottle. By the way, Adam is in the running for daddy and husband of the year... he took her in for her appointment. She couldn't eat for 4 hours and had to be pinned down for the sonogram- what a devoted daddy!
Oh a high note, we have spring like weather here and our new favorite past time is feeding the ducks. Mike takes this very seriously.
Every duck needs some food, so he tells them to "take turns."
And when our bucket is empty he says "Fly ducks, fly!"

I LOVE that Mike tells the ducks to take turns. So cute! I do not love that poor sweet girl is in acid misery - hope the new meds help soon. I am very impressed with the potty training and I hope this weekend goes well. Stick with it Mommy!

Way to go Mike! You're making progress. He'll get it eventually. Hang in there mama. Sorry to hear about Adelyn's reflux. I remember having to have Sophia tested too. It was the worst. I hope Adelyn's meds work for her. For Sophia, not so much. It gave her really bad diarrhea.
ReplyDeletePoor Adelyn, it is so painful for adults let alone our babis. Know she will do well just like Michael did.
ReplyDeleteMichael looks so cute in his big boy underwear. Keep up the good work Mommy & Daddy.
So really you need salty foods, yummy fluids, praise, lots of underwear, AND lots of towels! ;) WOW that he got trained enough for school in a week! Toilet training is just one of those stages that is funnier after it's over.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Adam for the dr.'s appointment trip by himself and under such circumstances too! Another WOW!
Love the duck feeding- we'll have to go do that when we get a chance!
Remember how you & kelly used to feed the ducks at Aunt Harriett's & Nana's & PoPPop's.
