Potty Training




Just in the past few weeks Adam has taken to potty training. I found his hot button. Movies. He loves to watch movies and tv. So I designed a potty chart. He had to pee 5 times in order to watch one movie. Pretty soon he got the hang of it. We got all different kinds of stickers for him to put on his chart. Really we haven't had too many accidents either. We did have one bad day when we went to Wichita but I won't gross you out with the details.


So now I am looking for advice. Last week Adam got taken to the nursery during our usual Wednesday night Veggie Tales class because he wouldn't sit still and listen. So we had a talk about listening to teachers. Then Thursday morning I thought he would get some experience in by going to the story hour at the library. Well, 10 minutes into that they had to remove him because he wouldn't sit and listen. So when we we got home from there I cut out all tv and we listened to calming classical music and tried to do some different activities. I know he is only 3 but he should be able to sit and listen to a few stories. He does fine at night when I read to him. So thats our struggle right now.

Megan is doing wonderful. She had her 6 month checkup last Friday. She weighed 17lbs9oz. She is a very healthy girl! She is rolling all over now. She sits up very good. She will get up on all fours and rock a little. It won't be long now before I have to have everything picked up out of reach. She loves to watch Adam. He'll run through the house and she'll just laugh at him. She is still sleeping through the night. We have had revival at church this week and have gotten home late every night. I hope this doesn't mess up her schedule.
As for us, Scott is still working crazy hours at the ethanol plant, and I am just trying to keep up with his schedule. Boy we're exciting! Oh yeah - I just had my hmph birthday last week. Gotta love those!

Yay! A new entry on your blog!!! I love it! "Little" Megan is trying to keep up with our boys. Are you shocked that I missed your b-day? So sorry!

The only advice I have to offer on Adam and sitting still is to pick up a copy of John Rosemond's 6-point parenting plan...I think he starts addressing behaviors in that book for kids about 3 years old. My sis-in-law has my book or I would loan it to you...

Missing you guys lots and tell Adam I said WAY TO GO on using the big boy potty!
