The weather has finally cooled down a bit (mid 80s) so we now go to Park Playgroup rather than pool playgroup. Here are some pics from the park last week. Enjoy!

Potty Training Woes
So...with only EIGHT days left til Luke is to make his BIG arrival I have pretty much given up on potty training. Taija still puts on her Elmo panties each day and runs around telling me "No mess" (meaning she is not supposed to make a mess in her panties) but usually tells me she wants a diaper on when she needs to go. Well, yesterday for the VERY FIRST time she went pee pee in her big girl potty! I of course was in the other room when she starts crying and getting all upset so I run in to see if she had an accident and with HUGE tears running down her face she is pointing to her potty and saying "mess, mess" over and over again. I was so excited that she FINALLY figured out that is where the mess goes! I kept trying to reassure her that is was a GOOD thing to go in the potty and let her wash her hands (a reward for her) and gave her a potty treat. Not sure if she understood, but at least I can now say she has GONE in the potty! YAY for small victories!

Hurray for Taija! What a big girl. I am trying to be positive about this whole potty training. It is such a pain to put Ari on the toilet every time she thinks she has to go. But at least she is trying and sometimes she does it.
You're a brave woman! I'm not even trying with Sophie yet. I tried with Claire when she was just over two, and it was more of a fight than I was willing to do. I waited until she was almost three, and she was pretty much trained in two days! Having two kids in diapers isn't as bad as it sounds...trust me! :)
ah good old potty training days. Abby was easy but joslynn was the worst! Good luck and i cant believe luke will be here so soon. Thats so exciting :)
Is Taija just two? I'm such a slacker Slade is almost three and i'm just dreading the potty training thing so have delayed!!! Can't believe your Luke will be here so soon. Excited to see some pics!! Good luck with everything
Hooray!!! Can't believe you're down to 8 days!! Let us know how we can help! What day can we bring over dinner?
We've been working on potty training with Anabelle too. Sometimes she is very interested and wants to go on the potty all the time, and sometimes she won't hardly use it all day. Good luck. I can hardly believe it's already time for Luke to be here. Good luck with everything!
Yipee!!! And those swings look totally awesome!
That is so awesome! Maybe she will keep going with it and you will only have 1 in diapers!
