Princess M Update
Had to get this on here so I don't forget. Princess M has had a great day so far. I am almost ready to say she has graduated from potty training boot camp. She has even started waking up in the middle of the night to go potty. For anyone who has ever had a bed-wetter, you know what a relief that is. It is worth getting out of bed in the middle of a well below zero night for. She came up to me a little bit ago and grabbed my hand to show me that she had done a "number two" all by herself, including wiping with the right amount of paper. She still needs to be lifted up to wash her hands though. So we got to have a chocolate chip party! Woo Hoo! Way to go Princess M!

TOG Y2 W23
Wow! Was this a fast week. I was realizing today that we only have 13 weeks left of our school year. Thirteen weeks! I spent the last couple of days putting together an American Presidents and First Ladies book for the girls. They will use it for the next nine units as we keep track of these important people. I will post some photos of them when I have them spiral bound.

Potty Training Boot Camp - Well, we're going to have to change up the game. Yesterday, she made the connection between going potty and getting a treat. So she went in to the bathroom every half hour or less. And wanted a treat each time. So I guess I'll have to work up some kind of sticker chart and reward for staying dry now instead of going potty.

Kid Funnies
I gave Princesses L and M some goldfish crackers. Princess L walked the containers over to the table and said, "M - here are some dead goldfish for a snack." I grimaced and said, "L don't tell M that. She might think they really are dead fish." I then told her that they put the cracker mix into a fish mold and baked it. So she thought about it and said,"M - these are some moldy fish."

Potty Training Boot Camp - things are moving along with this little one. She is starting to get the hang of things. However, I cannot seem to convince her to wait with the undressing portion until after she gets to the bathroom. She wants to undress, then try to run to the bathroom. Okay when you're at home - but not in public! We will continue this course until she starts to remember the correct order.
