We had a very small success with Amelia and potty training the other day. She sat on it! And a tiny bit came out. But that was it. Now we are back to diapers. We're sure it's just too early for her and she doesn't know when she's going to go. Maybe in a couple months we'll try again.
And Mira is doing a fantastic job with her chore chart! I made a chore chart for her to track how to earn her allowance, and laminated it. When she "x"s off each item for the week, she earns her allowance. Since it's laminated, we can wipe it clean each week (we use a dry erase marker). She has to feed Winter every day, clean the playroom 2x a week, help with dishes 3x a week, dust the furniture 1x a week, etc. It's working out very well!
Amelia and Mira also made butterflies in daycare. Because they are covered in glitter, and I don't keep things with glitter (unless I laminate them. I think I'm a laminating addict!), I thought I'd take a picture of it instead of keeping it. Here are their efforts!
Is everyone sick of digging out from the snow? We got quite a pile of it at our house, and I had to finally shovel off the deck. Good exercise! Have safe drives the next couple days!

I should really do a chore chart for Rowan. He's definitely old enough to help out on a more regular basis!
we did a chose chart for the kids- they got to go this past weekend to the toy store and buy something with their earnings. doing that made them want to do more around the house to earn more and buy more themselves. good idea with the laminating craft project, less glitter all over.
I am going to do a chore chart for Bob!! Fun to hear about the potty training too!! Sarah called and said Nicholas is doing pretty well for just starting with potty training. Amelia will be ready when she is ready! Love the update, Grandma
