Potty Training & Just Three Year Old Fun

Carli has been doing very well with the potty training.  It has been rough!  She would do it at school, but wouldn't do it at home.  After talking to one of the teachers, she suggested getting Carli a "prize box" to go when she is successful.  So off to the Dollar Store and Target's Dollar Spot to get things for her I went.

Carli was very excited about the box, at first.  We tried having her go to the potty for three straight days and then she would get a prize.  It worked.  Then it didn't work.  After two weeks of not working, we reworked the plan.  Instead of having to go three days in a row, we tried just three days.  That worked.  Finally!  She still had accidents, but it was getting better.  Now (knock on wood) she is going most days with no accidents.  We still have the prize box because it is working (and we still have stuff inside).

Tonight, Carli got bubbles and had a blast playing with Daddy on the lawn.  Even the neighbor's cat decided she wanted to play.

Happy Fourth of July

On the third of July, Carli's preschool had a parade.  Carli was right there up front with Mrs. Debby shaking her shaker.  Due to the rain, it had to be held inside, but the kids didn't care.  There were even popsicles after the parade.

On the Fourth, Carli woke up with an upset tummy.  We hoped and prayed that she would be feeling better so she could go to the fireworks.  We had been talking about them all week and she was so excited.  After a puny morning, she felt better (and hungry) after her nap. 

We met friends at the Lowes parking lot to watch the fireworks.  Carli and Rory played together for just over an hour waiting for dark.  Carli danced and ran around.  She had a blast!
