Also this weekend, Joe converted Sydney's bed into a toddler bed. He's been wanting to do this for quite awhile but I kept putting it off. (mostly because giving her free reign of her room kind of, well, terrifies me!) BUT she seemed really excited about it after we discussed it and I told Joe that if he did that I wanted to get her some new big girl bedding, to make the occasion even more special. So here is the end result!

Busy weekend!!!
Thursday we started serious potty training with Sydney. The first day she had several accidents and it was crazy hectic--I was SO exhausted by the end of the day...almost worse than when Gavin was first home! I can't describe how tired I was after bouncing between two kiddos all day! :) However, the hard work and chaos paid off because by day 2 she was having no accidents! (Thanks to Jess for the recommendation on this "method"!) Here she is with her wonderful, colorful potty chart! Smilies are for trying, Dora and Diego are for actually doing something. :)

And now she's showing us how it works... :)
Earlier in the week Joe had gone to a garage sale while on his way somewhere else--who knows where :) and this was his wonderful find! A Fisher Price Rainforest swing that swings side-to-side! Our Graco only swung front to back and neither kids have liked it. Gavin already has sat in this longer than he has the Graco, in all the two months he's been here! ;)
To wrap things up, some sweet baby smiles. :) He was talking with Daddy!

Love all your latest posts. I really should try stickers with Journey, but Im not sure she will want to put them on the chart, I think she will want to keep them =) Good luck with the toddler bed. Journey NEVER slept in her crib, so she has had a twin bed with sides for a month or so now...we are just now attempting to make her sleep in it. I have sooo many things I am going to do differently with the second one =D
ReplyDeleteWow another update! I'm impressed! :) Good Job Syd! How cute is her bed!! I really need to do that
ReplyDeleteHow sweet that Joe found Gavin a different type of swing---and even better that Gavin LOVES it! Some peace for Mama :)
