2010, a brand new year and time for brand new goals. I had set a few for the babies (guess now that they are 3 I can stop calling them babies....neh!) one goal being potty training before their 3rd birthday! I'm proud to say, even though I waited until the last minute, Lilly and Asher are both almost completely potty trained! Lilly caught on in 3 days while Asher took a bit longer. Not that he didn't catch on as quick, he just flat out didn't feel like going on the potty. Let me tell you potty training two toddlers at the same time was a bit overwhelming the first few days. My sister stayed with me to help get started and by the end of the day we wanted to give up and wait another couple of weeks! We put them straight into undies, no pull-ups, so we spent the first day cleaning up accidents. Day two was better and by day three Lilly was doing both on the potty and has never looked back! Asher just started going #2 in the potty the last few days so I am really hoping this is it! They both do wear a pull-up at night, then undies all day....I'm so proud of them and incredibly thankful to be done with diapers! We are hoping to try and use whatever money we save on diapers to put them in preschool 1 day a week this spring....we'll see if the savings add up to be able to do it. We spend New Years with Grandma Chris and Papa Hoz, Aunt Shelly and Brennen joined us as well. We laid Lilly and Asher down for a nap at 4pm so they could stay up to ring in the New Year with us...it worked out quite well because I snuck off and took a nap too! Our little celebration started with pizza and yummy snacks Brad's mom brought. We got out the party hats and horns at about 10pm and had to hear Lilly and Asher blow those horns and say "Happy New Ear" for two hours straight...yes....they both called it "new ear". After ringing in the New Year it took them about 45 min. to settle down and be ready for bed....the good thing about a late bedtime means they didn't wake up until almost 11am the next morning! So here are a few photos of our New Years celebration and hoping this year brings wonderful things ;)
