squeeze!


well as most of you know, potty training in our house has been an ongoing thing. we are constantly asking curls if he has to go potty, then sitting him on the potty in hopes that something will happen. as a joke one night, sargento was sitting with curls while he was on the potty and sargento said "well curls just squeeze your tummy to go potty" and he put one hand on his back and one hand on his tummy and squeezed. i guess curls thought that was a good idea, because last night he was sitting on the potty and i happened to walk past the bathroom and i hear "squeeze~squeeze~squeeze". curls had one little hand on his tummy and on hand on his back and i guess he thought it would work because his daddy had told him about it. well to our great surprise it did. what a successful night on the potty!!
(after posting this i thought "hmm, wonder how many people really want to hear our potty stories?" sorry if you are one of the ones not that interested!)

This is probably way too much information but at our house the kids have a "poop face" and they (or we-if we are helping them) try to make it as funny looking as possible. Squinty eyes, gritty teeth, the works. That seems to help everything come out. :) Also, we reward with M&Ms. One for pee and several for poo.

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
