A rare post...

We are still here! Someday, I will get back to blogging.
I have been busy with photography and getting those last minute family photos taken and sorting through the daily deliveries of orders.

Logan LOVES school! "school" has pasted up "tractor" as his favorite word.

We are thinking about potty training around here, but I fear the process and how LONG it may take. I am in holiday survival mode for now. The potty supplies are bought and I have a strategy in mind, but I am too intimidated at this point. I also am not sure about "double potty training". One seems scary enough. I attended a workshop on potty training children with DS last month, but am still in need of advice. My biggest fear is starting and giving up...once I start, I know it's best not to stop. I am open to any advice from Moms who have been there. Has anyone potty trained two at one time? Is that a bad idea? I may go nuts!!

Devin News

It has been exactly 13 days since Devin has used his pacifier to fall asleep at night! AND, last night he didn't even ask for it. Now for my second new years resolution...potty training. That is going be much more difficult. We were making progress back in September, but then I got very frustrated and we have taken a break for a while. His 3rd B-day is coming fast, it would be nice to have him trained by then...

Potty 101

Last Monday, when I decided to start potty training Devin, I did not know what I was in for. But, I have to say he has come a long way in about a week and a half. Each day he has only been going on the potty about once or twice a day...today he has gone three times and it is only noon!!! He still doesn't tell me he has to go, but hopefully that will come soon.
Maybe our success has something to do with the fact that we are on our THIRD potty! Yes, we bought our third yesterday. The boy "pee-pee thing" was always falling off the first one and the second one had a built in "pee-pee thing" but the potty hurt his bottom (he had a red ring when he stood up!). So now, I think I have found the right one. It has a padded ring and a built in "pee-pee stopper thing". I guess I should have studied potties ahead of time.
