I can't remember the title of the book or even any of the ideas except for a hot dog that was made into an octopus sitting ontop of green ramen noodles. (sounds real appetizing doesn't it?)Hello There!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02902933795093101387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054190369289596136.post-57214239544851416242009-11-05T21:06:05.378-05:002009-11-05T21:06:05.378-05:00Ugh, yes we are fighting the beast named potty tra...Ugh, yes we are fighting the beast named potty training right now too. Harmony will go but only if I put her on the potty and then wait, and wait, and wait some more. I tried putting panties on her the other day thinking that maybe that is the jump start that she needed. No luck...she'd only tell me she had to go AFTER she had already went. So after about 2days of constant changing and laundry I put her back in diapers. She just hasn't figured out that she needs to come and tell me BEFORE she actually goes. Although today as we were changing after swimming at the Y she did tell me "me pee, me pee" and then proceeded to pee all over the bench, towels and the floor so maybe a breakthrough is around the bend. I sure hope so, having 2 in diapers is getting expensive!Hello There!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02902933795093101387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054190369289596136.post-67486175041870719322009-11-01T18:32:10.720-05:002009-11-01T18:32:10.720-05:00Just remember they can only eat what is available....Just remember they can only eat what is available. While it sounds daunting having them help in the preparation is usually motivating. Obviously I am no expert as you will remember Jacob at nearly every meal saying "I'm tired" and then eating very little. There is nothing wrong with skinny kids, beats the obese epidemic!Horgyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04587721435703994849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054190369289596136.post-85704905716327758242009-10-28T22:51:25.946-04:002009-10-28T22:51:25.946-04:00Oh!

We've been trying it out a little, too and Van has gotten a little scared of it, I think. I think our boys will probably be closer to 3 before we're trained! Jack is still cute though...potty trained or not!<br /><br />PS I'm SO excited about you guys making your way down here soon!! We need to discuss details because I really want to see you and those boys of yours ASAP!!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962116701228844031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054190369289596136.post-79024319401415669112009-10-27T17:18:21.197-04:002009-10-27T17:18:21.197-04:00I know exactly how it is to have a picky eater.

It is very stressful for me, especially since he is a tiny little guy and needs all the food and calories he can get. We are getting ready to try potty training soon, so please pass on any tips you learn from Jack.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02118126360358789282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054190369289596136.post-8858117133892598912009-10-26T16:03:37.394-04:002009-10-26T16:03:37.394-04:00Potty training....may the force be with you.Potty training....may the force be with you.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07864052244037133531noreply@blogger.com
