Finally!!!

I had come to accept it that The Boy was going to college in a pull-up. I guess that could come in handly during class or at a party - no need to take a bathroom break. But it probably wouldn't go over so well with the girls.

Last week we finally had a break through! The morning started out rough. I was a Mean Mommy and would not let him have chocolate cake for breakfast. He did not like that at all. Later on in the morning, after he took a shower but before he was dressed I could tell he needed to go. I asked him if he wanted to use the potty and got the usual response of NO. I then used the chocolate cake! I told him he could have some if he would use the potty. Well, he really wanted that chocolate cake so a bribe finally worked (believe me, I have tried all sorts of bribery in the past). Ever since then we have been pull-up free! And no accidents either! YEAH!!!

Now if I could just get him to sleep by himself!

We're back!

The Boy, The Girl and I went to Florida last week for a little vacation to visit Nana and Papa. Unfortunately we experienced record cold temperatures while we were there. Fortunately we did not get any rain so although the pool time was limited we were still able to get out and do some fun stuff. The kids enjoyed riding their bikes and playing on the playground. We also took a trip to Lion Country Safari which they loved. We tried to go to Butterfly World but it was so cold the butterflies were not flying so we skipped it and played on another playground instead. And despite the cold temperatures, the kids still did a fair amount of swimming. Gotta love a heated pool!

So now we are back to school and work and wishing we had another vacation to be looking forward to.
