I almost forgot to announce Catherine's latest and greatest achievement .... she's completely potty trained!!!!! Not only day time but night time, too. And she's already pooping in her potty!! That last one seems to be the hardest around here.
I finally decided around 1 1/2 weeks ago that I wanted her out of diapers. So, I refused her diapers. She got the picture after 2 days and hasn't had an accident since. We don't even have to ask her. She comes right up and tells us when she needs to go.
Its all a matter of mommy readiness. Catherine was ready a LONG time ago. I finally came around and decided this had to happen and went about the hard work of offering Isabelle $5 if she would shadow Catherine for 2 days and potty train her.
For now on, I think I'm having my older kids potty train the resident 3 year old. It was so easy I can't believe I didn't think of it sooner! LOL!!
Also, I got my laundry room under control and completely organized. So, Craig gave me the go ahead and I ordered my cloth diaper supplies 2 weeks ago. I am so psyched!!! Those cloth diapers were also part of my inspiration to have Catherine out of her disposables.
So ...... I'm ready now. Baby can come. We're potty trained, and organized and diapers are laundered. No more things to get ready. Just waiting .........

Hooray for Catherine, hooray for you, and hooray for cloth diapers!
Now I'm eagerly praying for the opportunity to say "hooray for new baby's arrival!" :)
Prayers for you, Lillian! Hope that baby comes soon and that you have a lovely labor. I keep checking hoping for some news.... I was thinking that Catherine was going to be announcing new baby's arrival... but potty-training is good too:)
Anyway, my kids have been saying little prayers for you, too. God bless you all!
Lillian...I enjoyed your comment today, although I was hoping you would be at the hospital! I know it is hard to wait. Hang in there. As for the potty training...awesome! I have been working on Mariana, and we have had like 3 successful potty experiences and about 10 accidents!!! Allia was just like Catehrine, or so it sounds. Way easier!
Did you have the baby already?! I haven't! Hope all is well. Our prayers are with you!
