What is the best way to learn how to use the potty?

Have your best bud show you how it is done.

This picture cracks me up.  Ty showing Zachary how he uses the potty.  Despite a 2 year age gap these guys are the best of friends...too cute!

Zachary is consistently using the potty during the day time when we are at home.  For naps and bedtime he still wears a diaper.  He has a few accidents, but we are on our way to being potty trained.

Happy Tuesday!

Update!

Wow are we four weeks into the school year already?  Time sure flies when you are having fun.  


Our fall transition has been fairly smooth and everyone is doing well.  Working part time seems to be a good fit for me.  I really love my time at school teaching and I still get to spend days at home with Zachary so I don't feel I am 'missing' anything.  Zachary seems to enjoy his dayhome, he is a really social little guy so I think he likes his time with all the kids, even though he is really tired when he comes home (I think its a long busy day for him).  Murray hasn't had to go away for work yet and it has been really nice to have his help in the mornings and in the evenings.   Things might change the first time he had to go away but for now everyone is doing well.


The only part I am struggling with is finding time to fit in exercise.  It seems over the past month I have added school and taken away exercise, not a healthy way to live I know.  Now that we have adjusted to our new schedule, my goal this week is to find some time to work it back in.

A Weekend Away!

For those who don't know I love to scrapbook.

With an 18 month old around the house I don't get a lot of time to do it anymore, but this weekend I got to go on a scrapbooking retreat.  It was great!  Scrapbooking uninterrupted for two whole days and catching up with an old friend.  

Good to get my creative juices flowing again...
