We take the kids swimming at night sometimes at a friends house. They love it.

We love our little Minnie!

This past week Michael had a meeting in Kalamazoo, Mi so we all decided to go along. The kids and I had fun swimming twice a day, going to the local museum and playing at the library while Michael was in his all day meetings. Something different for the week!
Dane is doing great with his potty training. He's only had one accident in the last few weeks and it was when I wasn't with him in his church class. At first he wouldn't go poop for two to three days at a time. I'm not sure if that was because he was nervous or what but now he just tells me he has to do it and runs to the bathroom. He's staying dry for his naps and most nights even. We've been very lucky!
Dane also had his first sleepover last week. His pal Viv spent the night. They were so cute when we turned off the light in their room and could hear them talking to each other.
Looking forward to warmer weather this week!

I think we have a winner!!!


Loves sitting up ALL the time

Excited about having a double stroller for walks!

Look at me!

Yes, I made him sit on a towel the first day:)

Future underwear model:)

Dane's sticker chart for going potty

The bribe for pooping in the potty!

Dane insisted on sitting in the bathtub with her while I tried bathing her

Bath time

She looks more like Dane with her hair slicked back

Love them so much!

Can you tell by our noses it was a little chilly...

What an exciting week for us! We've gotten Dane down to 1 diaper a day...night time!!! Last Thursday as I was putting a diaper on him he insisted on his spiderman underpants. So we started from there. I brought the potty out in the living room and made him sit on a towel and play most of the afternoon. He had one accident the first day and hasn't peed his pants since. He even stays dry for his naps each day. Pooping is a little more challenging! It's been twice now but he's getting it!!! I tend to know when he has to go so we rush to the potty or he'll run to the bathroom while trying to pull down his pants. We've even ventured out to church, playdates, grocery shopping and other errands without a problem. I'm so proud of him! It's going to save us around $30 a month in diapers for him! Hope this isn't too good to be true:)
