Milestones

This week Ella and Owen each reached important milestones.

Ella is now officially potty trained. She was just about there before we left Calgary, but unfortunately we had to start again once things had settled down after the move. It's taken a lot of creativity to get this girl to go! We've sung songs ("There's lots that you can do when you're sitting on the potty... tra la la la la.."), danced liked butterflies to the potty and sat in front of the TV waiting for the poop to come. And alot of lolly (candy) treats as encouragement. Thankfully, she's made the break through and now knows when it's time to go. We haven't had any accidents in about 5 days. (Don't ask me about the one at the pool last week!!!)


Owen is officially walking. He's still a little but wobbly, but is walking more and more each day. This is always such a funny stage. He looks like a little godzilla coming along!

Yay woohoo. That is awesome. It feels so good to have another one potty trained eh? Wait til there is noone in nappies. It is such a good feeling.
