Visit from the Chambers

Nancy, Ron, Jeff , Mel and their three kids made a visit to see us a few weeks agao. The kids had a blast playing together. Ron got worked on with some tools as you can see. the boys were getting a kick out of it. Sierra wanted to hold Ava the whole time , which Ava was not too sure of.

Making us proud!!!!

Aiden has officially earned his letter of recognition for being potty trained now. We started 2 weeks ago-- and now he wears regular underwear everywhere we go and has not had any accidents in almost a week! He even was dry 2 nights this week all night. Scott and i are so proud of him. He loves his stickers charts--when we get home from work--he runs to the bathroom to show us all his stickers.. Now that we are potty trained i made him a chores chart and we are getting started on learning to make our bed, put away toys, get himself dressed, put his laundry away.. etc. He loves the recognition and gives him something to show off and be proud of. He is really growing up and making us proud...=) Here's a picture of him helping me gather all the garbage the other day...

Fun Photoshoot!!

"No more Diapers.. I'm a big boy!"

This is Aiden telling me that he doesn't wear diapers anymore- he's a big boy! He is doing so well potty training- we are in week 2 of wearing regular underwear-no diapers except at night. Which now he hates to even have them on for that. He goes before he goes to bed and says --no diapers mom! We skipped over wearing pullups- in fact when we go out now i just take an extra set of pants and underwear - in case of an accident instead of using the pullups--since he tends to want to go in the pullups when they are on. Still working on getting to the potty for poop every time--but we are well on our way to being fully potty trained.. Yeah for Aiden!!!
