Nate's New Toy!!

Nate has been working on potty training...let's just say we are in phase 1 of potty training! I have been telling him that if he goes poop on the potty (TMI??) that he could go and pick out any toy he wanted at the store (actually, if you must know...I have told him several things including $100 if he would poop on the potty)! Anyway, this week he actually pooped! Success! So, we went to the store and imagine Nate's excitement went he found this toy...combining his two favorite things...play-doh and noodles... (seriously, this kid is OBSESSED with noodles)!

The boys had so much fun playing with the spaghetti factory and they even finished off the morning with Nate's favorite lunch...NOODLES!

Now, if I could just get him to go poop on the potty again!!!

Ashley said...: I am jealous of your progress. Go Nate for doing so good, hopefully you get this down before baby #4 comes, how nice would that be.; January 25, 2009 at 7:14 AM
Jenny said...: Thanks for the add. You guys are so cute. Nathan was harder to potty train than Abby...now that we have Brin we will see if I can remeber what I am suppose to do. I will be looking on here for some pointers!
Good Luck!; January 26, 2009 at 7:14 AM
Wendi and Eric said...: Way to go Nate! Soon I am going to get serious about potty training Pearce. Wish me luck.; January 26, 2009 at 7:34 PM
Arian said...: Wow, major congrats to you!!! That is so awesome! I was just complaining to my mom the other night (she lives in Utah) that we have a cupboard in our entertainment center that has three different size diapers - pull ups for Tanner (which he just stopped using two nights ago), size 6 for Brody and now size 1 for Danica). I am pretty sure there is something really wrong with life when you have three kids in diapers!! :); January 27, 2009 at 12:46 PM

The Hall Family said...: Um okay. So I am retarted. I haven't posted comments on your blog because I never clicked on the link on your old blog to get here. I just thought you hadn't updated since you said you went private. SOOO I haven't been ignoring you just technologicaly retarted :) By the way, we always end up choosing the same background, we must have similiar taste.; January 27, 2009 at 9:59 PM
Alexa said...: Bribery, eh? I need all the tricks I can get! We did the "you get a piece of candy when you go potty" thing, but yeah, the poop thing is tricky! Keep us updated!; January 28, 2009 at 1:36 PM

Things that make me SMILE...

Benson went to get Lucy out of her crib and Nate was in the crib with her...holding her mobile over her head and said "look dad...I can hold this for Lucy" 1/10

Lucy has the cutest smile...and she scrunches up her little nose! 12/09

All Ben wants for Christmas is a SPY KIT! He is obsessed with it...I ask him who he wants to spy on and he told me "you!" 12/09

November 2008: Ben had a paper in his folder from school that said "Ask me to help you with a chore tonight" I read it to him and quickly snatched it out of my hand and threw it in the trash and said "that is for NEXT year"

November 2008 : I ask Ben what he wanted to be when he grew up he said "a daddy with a 100 babies AND a grown up human"

November 2008: I ask Samantha what she wanted to be when she grows up she said "a mommy" and I said how many babies do you want to have and she said "how ever many babies you have, mom"

October 2008: Nate climbs into bed with me with a pirate patch on and says "Mom, I'm a pirate treasure"

July 2008: Nate sees cupcakes at the store and says "Nate WUVVVS tup-takes"

Words to Live By...

"The biggest mistake I made [as a parent] is the one that most of us make....I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of [my three children] sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages six, four, and one. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less." -- Anna Quindlen
