How long HAS it been??

Well, I feel terrible that I haven't blogged in so long! I had a few saved blogs about the holidays, etc, but it kinda feels unimportant to post them at this point.
I think I'm going to catch you all up by saying we had an absolutely amazingly blessed Christmas. The kiddos made it the most fun Christmas I have ever had! We got to see ALL of the family and it was great.
We're back to the grindstone like everyone else is at this point.
I started thinking about how I wanted to use the blog to help everyone keep up with Ema's goings ons...soooooo, we are going back to Vanderbilt on the 22nd of this month. She has her NINE MONTH check up the following Friday. I cannot believe she is going to be a year old in just 3 months!
For those of you that don't know already, she started crawling in November!! For those of you that don't realize the importance of that...SHE WAS ONLY 6 MONTHS OLD! We cannot believe how advanced she seems to be with all of her motor skills. Ironic? I do believe so! She plays in the corral that we were given for the boys when they started becoming mobile (P.S. They didn't crawl until almost 8 months!). She has now decided that she cannot possibly keep up with the boys by merely crawling. She walks the entire length of the corral holding on. We are in for it! We're going to have a 9 month old starting to walk!! Now if we could just get our almost 3 year olds to use the potty! Score 1 for Ema in the advanced department. Score -1000 for the boys in the potty department.
Any suggestions to make them WANT to go in the potty??? I'm in desperation here! The boys cannot go back to school at Silverdale if they don't use the potty! No diapers in the 3 year old class!!

  1. Let them pee outside :-) If the find it fun to pee....then you can move them to peeing on cheerios in the toilet. Boys NEED games. It is something in their little heads that needs to be entertained with everything. Just a thought. Barron potty trained pretty easily but it was because he watched a friend of ours and then HE wanted to be a big boy like our friend's little boy (who is 2 years older). Good luck. It is great to see you blog again. Love keeping up with your family.

  2. we tried the cheerios with Trey - he and Ben were both very easy to potty train - just takes a lot of time and consistency. And watching Dad too!
