Holy Blog Catch Up Time!!!

Well today is my birthday, and my hubby has rewarded me with sleeping in a bit and taking the older children to the gym for a few hours so I can have some time to myself.  Emmalee is still snoozing so here I am blogging again.  Something that has gotten TOTALLY pushed aside with my life as a Mom to four kids ages four and under.  I have a 4 year old, two 2 year olds and a 4 month old.  Busy doesn't describe how I run my days.  I was looking back through my blog and realized I forgot to document one of the biggest moments in history!  (Or in my life as a Mom)  I potty trained my twins!!! 
These first pictures are of Miss Loey Kate back in September when she asked to use the potty for the first time.  I had that girl potty trained by the weekend!  She was ready and I jumped on it- she was only 21 months old, but I knew the signs were there so we spent the 3 days fully at home and wore underwear (except at nap/night), did a sticker chart, used treats and WAHLA! 

She was so proud to be a Big Girl!  Her life goal is to be like Mommy.  =)


Tucker decided to slowly join the club a few weeks after.  I put underwear on him for a bit and immediately knew he wasn't ready.  He still wore a diaper until the end of February but would tell me he had to go off and on. 

Look, I did it!


 
 Do you SEE it?!  Oh my.  Tucker please get your face out of the potty seat.


Some things in life are just cute and twins going to potty together is oddly one of them.  =)
 

I am happy to only have 1 child currently wearing diapers!  It is a big deal to pick out which pair of underwear to wear each day. Tucker just loves his underwear.  He is wearing it 24/7 while Loey still wears a pull up at nap/night.  That girl guzzles drinks like it's her job, so it may be a while for her to fully wear panties.  Oh well!  Works for me!!!  I'm proud of my twinies!

There are things in life right now that I feel like an expert on...potty training and breastfeeding, just to name a few.  ;)  Big skills, folks.  I may not be making a jillion dollars as a big important CEO but the ship is running and no one is drowning just yet.
