Do you bribe your kids? I have never been above bribery but this sweet little girl (who is easy to bribe with M&M’s) sometimes likes to sit and savor her treats.
These two have been best friends lately. It makes me happy, it seems like it took forever and they still have times where they fight but for the most part they are the best of friends. (reading a book together)
We woke up to our first snow fall! Yep first snow in January it’s crazy pants! It was gone by noon and we are back to a dry warm snow-less winter…It was fun while it lasted
We started potty training Abbey this week. It has to be the most time consuming thing a parent can do. It’s been a week and we haven’t really gotten anywhere. Jude was a little over 3 before he got it and we started at 18 months working with him on the idea, so maybe Abbey will be 3 too? She just isn’t too key on the idea, although she will sit on the potty and read, play with the i-pad or eat cheese nips all day long if I let her, which I have for a few days.
I have been working way late into the evening to get the newest patterns all ready. It will be great to have them done, I may be getting delirious…
We had fun adult time, cards is a favorite past time.
Abbey and her kitty love
Rocky thinks that she can “help” me with my sewing projects.
Do you put needles in your mouth as you sew? If I am sewing I have a needle in my mouth… (or 10) Jude woke up from his nap the other day, and when he saw my mouth full of pins he said “wow momma you have sharp teeth!”
Well when he has a mouth full of Cheetos he has “sharp teeth” too.
So how was your week?

Have you read Potty Free Before Three? I trained my second daughte at a year using this book. Seriously dumped thE diapers a day or two after her first birthday. And yes, m&ms are a great bribe. And Iove your button header and you little cute cat and the cheetos photo! Classic.

I'm an avid pin the mouth sewer. My 2 1/2 saw me with pins in my mouth the other day and yelled at me for being naughty and that pins don't go in our mouths. I guess that means we can say we're successful in teaching her not to play with pins.
enJOY Life!
Cute pics that really capture the moment. I didn't think I put pins in my mouth until I found out a cousin-in-law had to take a trip to the hospital because she accidentally swallowed 1 of 2 pins she was holding in her mouth. After that, I noticed, by habit, I DO hold pins in my mouth! Be careful, don't sneeze!

Love these pictures. I used the techniques from Potty Train Your Child in Just One Day by Teri Crane and it worked fabulously!! Good luck. And I totally hold the pins in my mouth – don't know if I have ever put more than two though.

What great photos! I love instagram pics 🙂 Good luck with the toilet training, I'm not looking forward to starting again with my youngest lol, it took my son a long time too! And yes, my 4yr old also tells me off for putting pins in my mouth and I then have to say sorry lol.

Haha, I stick pins into my lips and tongue all the time from holding them in my mouth. I'm glad I'm not the only one!
