Potty Training Update

It's going about as expected. She has yet to go in the potty at school and has unfortunately had an accident every day at nap time and right when we get home BUT yesterday evening I moved the portable potty out to the living room and she actually went! This wasn't just a little trickle either, it was a full potty. (Probably more information than you need, but this is considered big news around the Sousley household!) Tonight she didn't go, but she spent a lot of time sitting on the potty and reading books. I think the effort she was putting in was due to the fact that I kept telling her that the "Potty Fairy" had left a toy for her, but that I had strict instructions only to give it to her if she went on the potty. Good tactic or bad? I'm just not sure anymore. I'm willing to try anything at this point. I did give her 5 m&m's for trying so hard. Hopefully it will be warm enough this weekend that we'll just be able to send her out the backyard without anything on and let her go when she wants. I hear that this is one of the best ways to train little ones to understand and recognize the sensation. We'll see!

New hair on the way this weekend - I'm getting it cut tomorrow and colored on Saturday. Thanks for all of the suggestions and feedback. I think I will be leaving it long for one or two more cuts, especially since I'm getting rid of the gray on Saturday and will be more likely to wear it up. I'll post pictures if I like it. :)

Happy six month birthday Nathan! The pic below has been in the side bar, but I'll post it here too so you can get a good look at our little man. He's such a happy, hungry guy and his smile is priceless! The new picture in the sidebar is of Jillian at six months. I think they are starting to look different - Jillian's eyes were so blue and her hair was reddish blonde. Nathan's eyes look like they are going to be more greenish brown (like Sous') and his hair is more brunette.
