Live In the Moment

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” (Elder Ballard’s talk May, 2008 quote by Author Anna Quindlen speaking of her children)

- I put this on here to remind me to take time to enjoy the little things in life, or to enjoy the moments that make some of Life's Precious Memories.

Potty Trained!

She's potty trained! We've gone over 48 hours with no accidents. Not even a bedtime accident. I'm so excited about it I had to share!


We did the 3-day-Potty Training program. It was sort of a rough 3 days. We started on Thursday and by 10am I was thinking, "This isn't going to work! There's no way!" Even the second day I was still thinking that. Even for half of the 3rd day I was thinking the same things but was just a little more hopeful. The evening of our 3rd day was a lot better, partly because she was tired of drinking juice! The novelty of having cool juice boxes anytime she wanted one didn't last. I guess we should have tried a tea part or something, but I was tired of the drinking thing as well.

Here they are at the end of the 3rd day watching football, eating popcorn and drinking orange juice (yes, I grew up with the same tradition and I'm keeping it). I'm just glad the house was as clean as it was. The program doesn't allow for much cleaning. You have to constantly be watching the potty trainee. :) You're also supposed to dress your child in only a shirt and underwear, I promise I really do fully clothe my children!

I can't believe how much my girls have grown!

OOooh, please share your three day training program! Bridget often says she needs to go potty, but I guess I'm the one who is not quite up to the potty training task yet because I try to distract her with something else. Go Meredith!!! (but not in your underwear!)
