It's All About Nora...No Crib, No Diapers, No Problem?

Update on Big Girl Bed:

Not even two hours after I posted about Nora's big girl bed, we were out at a garage sale (looking for old furniture to redo) and came across a twin bed that included a mattress, box spring and frame for only $30! I hesitated at first but after looking at it (and knowing we were in a nice subdivision) I realized it did not even look like it was used...Nora's bed is newer than Nolan's! Problem solved! Twin bed it is! Pictures coming soon!

Potty Training:

Nora was forced into potty training this past Friday when Ryan took the wrong car to work. It had both the car seats in it and the big box of diapers we had bought the night before! I still can't believe he got in the wrong car and the kids and I were waving to him on the porch as he was pulling out of the driveway! Anyway, when I say forced...I mean it more or less forced me to start the training! She has been "ready" for awhile now but because she did not like the idea of being without her diaper, I thought we should wait a little longer. Nora was taking her diaper off after she went potty and that was not ok!

Of course she cried when I told her we really didn't have anymore diapers and that she had to wear the pretty big girl pants that I had bought for her (glad I picked them up ahead of time, so not like me) in her drawer. After throwing a fit, she got out a pair of big girls pants and we have not had a diaper on since!

To my surprise she is really picking up on this potty training thing. She drinks so much, which means she has to go a lot but all in all, she gets to the potty 75% of the time? A few accidents a day is not too bad. The candy reward helps! For the next week, as the accidents decrease, we will stick close to home...too bad Ryan had to go to San Diego until Wednesday...he's missing all the excitement!
