Anyway, daughter #2 has decided that she wants a go at potty training, and I am all for that!!! Lenci has been wanting to go potty every time Zoe goes, which seemed pointless to me about 2 days ago!!! That is until SHE WENT (#1)!!!! I am soooooo happy! I know that this has now happened only 3 times in the last 3 days, but the fact that she wants to is amazing me!!! In fact, today she came to me and told me that she needed to go potty and when I took her to go...SHE WENT!!! :) I am sooo happy...which I know I already said...but I have been changing diapers for a little while, and for a short time I was changing diapers for 3 kids!!! Eek!!! I am soooooo ready for this potty training bit to work permanently for Lenci! I am so proud of her!!! My favorite thing is seeing her face of accomplishment when she has just gone!!! So sweet!!!
Well, as for Camille, our little girl pup, we bought a potty training book for dogs! I know, I'm a potty training crazy right now, and I can't say queen until I complete my mission!!! I never dreamed that I would be potty training my second daughter and first dog at the same time!!! I don't think my dreams were ever that detailed!!! I have to say that I have only been sane because of the GRACE of GOD!!! I am not joking!!! :) There have been moments that I had 2 diapered children ready to be changed, a puppy in a poopy kennel, and a daughter screaming from the potty "Mom, I need you"! :) Ahhhhhhh!!! That's when I almost went to hide in the closet...but then I didn't! I completed the mission, the task set before me, and with some complaining along the way, don't get me wrong, but that is my prayer; that I will do everything to the glory of God!!! But to not stop there...I want to make a goal of not complaining when I am in an icky (or sticky) situation, literally!!! ;) Philippians 2:14-16 says "Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing." This scripture is very convicting to me right now!!! Pray that I will be like a star shining in the universe in this world, and in my home!!! :) Praise the Lord, Camille has been pottying on the puppy pads that we got for her, which is a HUGE answer to prayer!!! Lee and I learning a lot about potty training, and the book is really helping! It was only $4.99, and that is well worth my time and sanity!!! :) Sooo...we are on route to being mostly potty trained at our house!!! I'm just glad that my hubby came potty trained... ;)
I think that I will just jot down a few things that I am thankful for since I am trying to complain less! :)
1. I am thankful that there are no medical conditions preventing the progress for potty training right now, and that we have healthy children!!!
2. I am thankful that God has allowed us to be able to afford the diapers and pull ups that we need!!!
3. I am thankful that we have one out of diapers and able to cheer on the next two in their journey to freedom! ;)
4. I am thankful that I am healthy and able to potty train and take care of my children!!! :)
5. I am thankful for the many friends and family members who have been encouraging me during this time!!! Thanks! :)
I am going to do this from time to time about other things! It really helps me to rethink my situation! :) Blessings!!!
Our potty training princess...
...the encouraging ballerina...
...and the little guy who doesn't know what's coming!!! ;)
(Ha, I thought this one looked like he was snapping a pic of himself, but he's trying to grab the camera from me!!!)

That picture totally looks like he's snapping it of himself! Hilarious! I love this post. I like your list of things to be thankful for. I need to do that more often. Good luck with all the potty training. I will need updates.
Potty training! Fun times! And the best part, you will only have to buy diapers for ONE when she is trained! Yeah!
