No More Diapers!!!

Well at least until the new baby comes in March. I decided to take the chance and try to potty-train Audrey before I get too big. Plus I was tired of her screaming everytime she had a poopy diaper. She hated it. After only a couple of days she was only having one accident a day. She even weny to church with underwear. It has been eight days now and she didn't have any accidents today and even tells us when she needs to go and sleeps through the night in underwear! Christmas definately came early this year. Since she can be such a difficult child I thought potty-training would be a power struggle nightmare. She decided to give her mom a break. Eric and I just laugh because our daughter who eats crayons is potty-trained.

Imagination ran wild...

Porter is quite creative now that he is three. He loves pretending to fish (he usually catches a bag of M&M's), being a superhero, and have imaginary pets. He thinks all superheros have wings so he has imaginary wings that he puts on. One day he was crying because he left one of his wings at his friend's house. I had to convince him that his friend dropped it off on our front porch for him. The lastest has been his imaginary dog Clifford who is red but normal dog size. Porter opens the back door when Clifford needs to go to the bathroom. He even has Clifford sit on his lap in the car. He tells his friends they can pet Clifford and then Porter and his friends run around the house playing chase with the pet dog. I have even threatened Porter with Clifford. If he gets out of bed then Clifford has to sleep outside and can't sleep on Porter's bed. Since Eric and I lack in creativity it is fun to see the things Porter comes up with.
