Timmy is...potty trained!

Dare I even say it?!  I'm afraid I'll jinx myself!  Timmy actually decided to potty train himself a few days ago and has been doing great!  I'd just been putting him on the toilet when I caught him pooping and then one day about a month or so ago, I put him in underwear all day and he peed through every pair.  I gave up and didn't push it because it was too much with trying to nurse Gabrielle every 2 hours.  Then one morning, I found him out of bed, diaper off, sitting on the toilet and we went with it!  He's had minimal accidents and we've even worn underpants out in public to two stores!  He does still continue to wear diapers at night, but generally makes it through the night with a pretty dry diaper!

Funny Sayings

Here's the latest round up of cute sayings from the kids:

Olivia at breakfast to the other kids: "Now everyone...I have a surprise for you all.  I am  your big sister now!  (acts as though...can you believe it!).  I am going to be your big sister and I can help you!"

~ "Mommy, some day I'm going to have a boyfriend!"


Timmy: I had put my head back and was resting my eyes when I heard him say, "Hock a doodle doo...wake up la-z-y bones!"

~ He has a sound machine that has a waterfall setting.  He calls it either "fadderwall" or "Bumpa's boat" since it sounds like the water that Bumpa's boat is on!


Naomi:  For several months we've been praying for our vacation to go "smooth and well".  The other night, when vocalizing our nightly Rosary intentions, Naomi prayed that "Gramma M would be smooth and well!"

I'm sure there's more as usual, but I can't remember!

Impulse buy!

My husband can vouch that I am not an impulse buyer.  However, when I saw these ADORABLE headbands at the consignment store yesterday, I knew I had to get it!  There were 3 in a pack for $1.  Wouldn't you agree that this was a dollar well spent?!
