Skylar Walking

Skylar has made some great progress walking lately! This is a video of her walking at her therapy clinic. She does much better at the clinic because there are lots of long halls, wide open spaces, and on this particular day- no little sisters in her way :) Best walking yet! Hopefully before too long- she will be doing this at home too...

January and New Years Resolutions

January has been a total blur so far. We had the great idea of starting off our New Year by potty training the girls. We started on New Years Eve morning and were going to attempt this intensive 3 day potty training method that goes cold turkey from diapers to undies. It was basically a nightmarish 3 days of cleaning up pee, doing laundry, and giving baths around the clock. Not a fun way to ring in the new year. I guess for the kids that it actually works for in 3 days- it is worth it- but it didn't quite work like that for us. After 5 LONG days, we decided that Skylar's little body was not ready for potty training yet. We also quit undies and broke down and bought pull-ups. Savannah has made slow and steady progress this whole month though. The M&M reward system finally clicked and she has had her fill of M&Ms! She is probably 70% #1 trained, and 50% #2 trained. But, I'm sure we will get there!

Spending lots of days running around the house in undies...

Entertainment on the potty...
First Ring Pop for going potty! We later decided this was waayy to messy for multiple times a day.....
What a lovely look!?


Savannah is excited to leave the house for the first time in 7 days :)
