Potting Training.....a boy! :)

Well, we have been thinking about potty-training AJ.

Keyword: thinking!

AJ has decided that he want to go in the big boy potty.This is a good thing as far as I am concerned, less diapers to buy, less diapers to change, you get the picture.

Wednesday we were at the zoo & we decided to take a potty break. We all went into the girls bathroom, (Billy was at work) & I announced that EVERYONE needed to go potty. AJ said that he did not need to go. I explained that we were not leaving the bathroom till everyone went potty. "Okay" he relunctly said!

As he is sitting on the potty he announced, " Mommie, it's not working!" Ladies in teh bathroom look at me & I explain that we are potty training. All the sudden, AJ yells "It's working now, Mommie!" He was very proud of himself....

We have been 8 days with only one accident...not on my watch, though...:)

Hopefully we will soon be only buying diapers for Avery!

Yea!!!!!!

Avery's 1st Birthday!

Tuesday was Avery's 1st birthday! My baby is 1! We had her party yesterday with a few friends.

Her friend Joey from church was able to make it along with his folks, Josh & Laray. Tisha, Hannah, & Ian came as well to celebrate the day with us. Alana, our babysitter, was back in the USA so she came along with Miss Lila, Gillian & Sage.

We had hotdogs & brats & then, CAKE!

Avery ate a hot dog, bun, & some chee-tos....by the time we got to the cake. I think she was a bit full! Joey decided he could help her out..... betweent the 2 of them we had cake all over the place!

After cake, she open presents! She loved opening her presents. I think she enjoyed the wrapping too. She got some really cute outfits, a talking piggy bank, an extremely soft plush lion & a book, and some little people animals. She has spent the morning playing with all of her new toys.

Avery is standing & holding onto things now & taking a few steps. Before you know it, she will be walking everywhere. She loves her sisters & brother & they play well together! Even AJ is really gentle with her. (thanks goodness!)
