March

So here we are the beginning of April and Anna is almost two years old... I can not believe it! In an effort to get her potty trained before she turned two we set out the past two weeks and have been doing our own version of potty training boot camp. Diapers off no holds bar, bare bottom and all. For the first week she just ran around with a tshirt and potty's everywhere and low and behold the second day she started going on the potty!! Anna is very hard headed and won't be forced to do anything so it is her running to the potty when she has to go. No complaints here that means I don't have to ask nor deal with the temper tantrum that goes with making her sit on the potty. Great although it doesn't work so well when you are away from home, this little part of the total potty training experience will take a little longer and lots of accidents:)! But we will get there, pray for my sanity! Madeleine is getting big she started laughing a bit, it is so cute! She is also sleeping almost every night 6-8hrs at a time!! Yeah Go Madeleine!! And she is napping better during the day, only problem is she will only sleep in her cradle. Because she is getting bigger and won't fit in it too much longer... We will cross that bridge when we get there. Other than that a great month down in New Braunfels!

Hey Ariel!
Finally checked the blog today to catch up on your little ones and they are so cute! I am so jealous that Madeleine is sleeping through the night...Finn gets up about every 3 hours to eat. He is so big too...about 18 pounds and so round. I can't imagine how he is hungry, but we just keep feeding him. He just started on 1st foods the other day so I am interested to see if this will help his sleep. I have also started to try and pottytrain Margaret. She will be 2 in 2 weeks. She has no interest and I have thought about trying the whole "no pants thing" but I don't know that I have the energy to clean up her accidents all day. Did it work with Anna?
Oh, I saw your picture of the kids in the bike carrier- how did Madeleine do in that? I have one too, but haven't taken Finn in it yet...thought he might bounce around too much...
I could talk all day about the kids since they are so close in age. I wish we lived closer so we could get together for them to play!
Glad I checked up on you--looks like all is well in the Beckey family! Take care- Corinne
