Potty Training Twins


So I have potty trained 4 kids by now and have done it pretty quickly. I kind of say it is like potty training boot camp. We let them run around the house naked. (This does not work to well if you have carpet) And I keep the little potty chair in the main room with us and reward them for going in the potty and get onto them when they don't go in the potty. It is pretty simple, but time consuming. We generally don't go anywhere when we do this, but with the twins it took more then a couple days like the others, so I had to break my rule about not going anywhere till it is done. It took just a little over a week to train the twins and now they are going GREAT! No more diapers... I don't know what I will do I have been buying diapers pretty much constantly for 10 years.

Camp '09


Just wanted to share a little something. So I left my kids for 6 days when I went to camp with our youth. We went to Centrifuge in Ridegcrest N Carolina. God was so awesome in it all. In the 6 days our youth grew closer together. We grew closer to them and most importantly we grew closer to God! It was so awesome!! And I made it 6 days without my kids. This is really big for me. I have never ever left my kids for more then just a night or 2. God was so good to give me peace about it and the kids did fine. They were really excited to see us though. And for the next couple days after we got back they were very clingy, but all back to normal now!
