Potty Training... Take III

Today was the first day of our third, and hopefully last, attempt to potty train Caleb. I am happy to report that it was a good and productive day. Caleb had a wonderful attitude towards it all day. He did not fuss one time about wearing big boy underwear. He even wore them to Target and didn't have any major accidents all day long. (He will not go to the potty by himself, but he will sit on it until he goes pee pee. So, I just ask him to sit on it frequently throughout the day.)

Every time that he went pee pee in the potty, he received a sticker to go on his Chuck E. Cheese reward chart and three jelly beans. He earned eight stickers today. So, we all went to Chuck E. Cheese when Daddy got home. Since he did SO well today, we got to go to Toy's R Us afterward and he received two Matchbox playsets. (Toy's R Us is a very special treat for him. We do not go very often.)

Since we cannot go to Chuck E. Cheese and Toy's R Us everyday, I made a daily reward chart for him. He will receive a new car every time that he earns ten stickers. I estimate that will be one car per day for him. Lee is going to pick up 20 cars tomorrow, so I will reward him this way until we run out. Hopefully, we can go down to just jelly beans after 20 days.

Easter Goodies



My mom sent a package of Easter treats to the boys. They opened it this morning. Caleb enjoyed eating the candy, coloring, and using the new stickers. Graysen was only interested in eating Peeps. I lost count of how many he ate. He was a Peep-eating machine!

Slumber Party at Aunt Kim's House



Caleb spent last night with the Taylors for a slumber party. He had a great time. Aunt Kim said that he woke up this morning and went straight to playing with cars and trucks.

Chuck E Cheese




The boys and I went to Chuck E Cheese yesterday with Alisha, Katelin, and Abigail. We had a fun time with them. Unfortunately, I do not have a lot of pictures. The batteries for my camera need to be recharged and I have no idea where the charger is. Half of the garage is filled with boxes that still need to be unpacked. Hopefully, Lee and I can make progress on unpacking this weekend. Until then, blogging may be slow.

Burger King

The boys and I ate dinner at Burger King this evening. (I am addicted to BK Burger Shots. They have bumped Target's pretzel as my new favorite food.) Graysen loves to eat. He always eats a lot more than his brother and always finishes his meals. Caleb insisted on using Zesty sauce like Mommy and dipped all of his apples in it. (It didn't sound very good to me, but he ate every apple that way.)

Pictures

We finally got our internet set up and configured. Here are some pictures from this past week.

Two exhausted little boys after a big day of moving.
Both boys love to play out side... and do headstands!
