Potty training is coming a little easier for MB than for MG. It's definitely different for each kid. Today MB decided to use the potty. The difficult thing is that he only wants the big potty! He also wanted to sit on it every 15 minutes! I put up the gate and suggested that he use the little potty, and this was not well received. He took it and threw it over the gate with a roar of outrage. He's a little headstrong. :) I am extremely happy that he is an easy one to potty train. I'm still having some difficulty with MG although today she was encouraged to try to keep up with MB.
Work has been crappy, but there's nothing much that can be done about it right now so it does little to complain. It helps to vent a little though. Sigh. I hope that I can have the courage and ability for something that works out better for my family. My family really comes first for me, so this whole issue has been difficult. I have to work to help take care of my family, so I have to keep that in my mind. I'm doing it for them. I've been looking at job listings for this area, but there's not much out there at this time of the year. Maybe there will be more openings in the summer or fall. Maybe things will improve where I'm at by then and I won't have to go hunting for something else after all.
I actually bought a board game the other day. Who has time for an old fashioned board game? I had to buy "Trivial Pursuit: Totally 80s" when I saw it for $10 at the store! Mark and I grew up in the 80s, so it's something that we will love... if we ever get a chance to play it! We've been so tired each night that we go to bed soon after the kids do. I'm so tired tonight, but I wanted to stay up a little longer to write about the excitement in my life.

I used potty training rewards. The audio and chocolate treats were powerful incentives to fully potty train our son. He loved pushing th button hearing he is a Big Boy. He was peeing and pooping in his potty within a week. Have a look and see if this would work for you. www.pottytrainingrewards.com
I forgot to mail the books! I will do it soon.
Sounds like MB is off to a good start - I hope there was nothing IN the little potty when he through it over the gate :)
Have fun with that Trivial Pursuit game, I would LOVE that!
