All in a Week!

This past week has been one for the books-
its been busy, fun and scary.....

Warning: There is some potty and poop talk here.....
if its TMI, skip this post
:)
As you know there is little I like more than these cute little
baby buns in undies...
Seriously, cuteness :)
Trey did awesome with "pee" training
but pooping on the toilet was not so easy....
With Kaylie it was super easy. She let us know she was pooping
 with a bright red face and grimace. We would run her to the restroom
and she would finish. She consequently pooped on the 
toilet before she went potty.  It was simple!
When it came to Trey we were sort of at a loss as to how to
motivate him to poop on the toilet because he gave us no warning.
So we tried candy, worked great for pee, 
but poop, he had no interest....
UNTIL
these babies made an appearance.
He wanted those cars and trucks so badly he hasn't
had an accident since we told him he could earn one 
each time he pooped on the toilet.
Now, he goes all on his own.
Best 87 cents I've ever spent!
YIPPEE!!!!!
Trey showing off his reward for his hard work!
He is SO proud of himself! 
And trust me, I am too....for lots of reasons!
:)

Kaylie.....poor Kaylie!
It has been a rough week for my girl!

Devin and I went away for the weekend for our anniversary and 
the kids stayed with Grandma and Ba-pa.

While we were just about to take our first bite of dinner on our first night out, 
we got 3 phone calls and a picture text.
 
Kaylie was kicking a ball around and slipped
and fell, splitting her chin open.

My parents took her to the ER. We boxed up 
our untouched meal and met them at the hospital.

The doctor stitched her up while she watched Dora and 
My Little Pony on an ipad.
Genius!
They were so great to the kids and made our visit far too easy.
Kaylie had such a great time and came home with lots
of take home prizes that we were nervous she would like 
it too much and want to go back!
Here she is post stitches
She got 8 stitches and says 
it looks like she has teeth on her chin!
:) She is so funny!
First she splits her chin open
then she got sick....
she has had a fever since Saturday
Poor girl!

Oh, and just for fun, Trey has an ear infection....
cause why not add one more thing to our already exciting
week!

Will you trust us with your kids ever again? Nothing like returning them battered, bruised and sick. :-(

oh gosh, that gash sure is nasty looking...she looks like she took it all in stride though, tough girl! Ear infections suck butt too, rough week all around. Satan sure likes to kick us when we're down.
