potty training the girl

I was so excited when I found I was having a girl because everyone said they were so much easier to potty train than boys. I just knew she would be done with diapers by two- this was going to be great. Now we are nearing her third birthday and she is still not totally trained. It's awful. I've tried everything- patience, chocolate, movies on the little toilet, etc. I believe I had a break through this week though so we might get this thing done yet. I stopped praying to God to help her potty train and started asking Him to help her be in the mood to potty train. The last couple of days she has stayed dry throughout most of the day and even the night. Not perfection, but a lot closer then where we were. I have this theory that it is her moodiness that stands in her way. If she is in the mood to go to the bathroom and stay dry she will, if she is not.... well... she doesn't. Boys are not like that. Both my boys were potty trained by this age. It's a good thing she's dang cute.

7th Anniversary

Today is our 7th anniversary! I love you babe!

Children's Discovery Gardens

I took the kids to the Discovery Gardens to try and get them to run off their excess energy. They had a good time and all three fell asleep in the car on the way home. Success.

Family Pictures

I decided we needed to get some creative family pictures taken so we went down to the Provo Temple for family night and got it done.

Camping

For the Fourth of July we went camping with Jon's family and had a good time. It's been a while since we've been camping and we might just have to do it again sometime soon.
