Potty Training - Summer Project

Late Summer 2018 is dedicated to POTTY TRAINING

We introduced William to potty training with a Paw Patrol training toilet and used sticker charts with prizes to get him motivated. We did the three-day potty training where he was naked for the first day, undies on for the next two days. Pretty much, we didn't go anywhere for the weekend. Each time he filled in a row on his sticker chart, he got to pick from the prize bag. But what he really wanted was the MnM's he received as reward as well. He took to it very well! Playing up the part of him being a big kid and not needing diapers anymore helped. We packed up all the leftover diapers and gave them to a friend of mine for their kiddo. He is excited to wear undies with his favorite characters on them as well.

Couples' Trip to Nashville

Bret and I met Megan & Robert in Nashville, TN for a couples' vacation! It was a city none of them had been to & I hadn't been in ten years. We had fun exploring the area and visiting the bars & restaurants downtown. It was nice to get away for a bit and just be with Megan & the guys. I'm thinking we should do this more often!

plane rides are so relaxing without a toddler to entertain!

No way were Bret and I going to be in Nashville and NOT stop by Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace Plaza & studio. It was a day Dave was out of the studio (of course!) so we didn't get to meet him, but we did get a tour of the facility and a free cookie & coffee cup for visiting. Bret and I wouldn't be where we are today financially or relationally without going through FPU. It literally changed our marriage.

We got to visit the Grand Ole Opry on our Nashville trip as well. It was so fun to see performers on such a famous stage!

LOVED having sister time!
