Kimberly Kampout

Tatum's school hosted a Campout for all the kids and their families unfortunately (yeah right) Linc and Saylor were really sick and I had to stay home.
Ben and Tatum set up camp, ate S'mores, played with friends, watched a movie and tried to sleep.
Ben and Tatum chose to set up their tent far away from the 'tent city' that had formed with the hundreds of campers to try to get a little sleep.

I did dit!

"I DID DIT!

I was really dreading the day we were to start potty training with Lincoln.
I dreaded the hours we would sit in the bathroom, this time with an extra kid. 
I dreaded the messes and frustrations and the constipation.
I dreaded being homebound.

We spent hours in the bathroom with Tatum. We did puzzles, we read books all for one little tinkly a day. I thought we were doing so great.

Now, Lincoln. He is a different story entirely. I knew he wouldn't sit for hours like Tatum did, he is also a bit more stubborn and he is a boy. I was really prepared for the worst.
We decided to start Saturday morning, we tossed the diapers and hung out outside all day. The potty was in the backyard. He wet 6 pairs of underwear and he didn't pee.
Right before bedtime after a long day of wetness, he did it! 
I stayed home from church with him the next day and he did fantastic--he even pooped!
By day three we were trained, we even took a trip to Target!

He has been doing great!
I am not naive enough to say we won't have accidents but I can't believe our progress.

He uses the BIG potty!
He loves to say "I DID DIT!"

Day 4 he had already filled his sticker chart and we were headed to Chuck E Cheese!

Why I blog...

"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences. "
