Day two of potty training

I am pleased to announce that Niklas went poo on the potty, unfortunately we did have another pee accident but he is doing so good with the potty trainging. I am so excited. Can't wait until he has finally got it down.

Niklas is finally potty training

So today I decided that I have had it with diapers. When Nik woke up this morning I put him in underwear and have been making him sit in the bathroom every 20 minutes so far he has been doing pretty good. We have had only one accident all day. Unfortunately he hasn't gone number 2 yet but he has peed three times on the potty. I am so proud of him, but it is just the start. It has been a long struggle just to get him to go to the restroom. I have promised everything from a great big toy to a movie, nothing seemed to work but today I decided from the advice from my neighbor Amy that I would pay Niklas evertime he actually peed and we would put it in his bank and once that was full he could either take the money and buy something at the store or use it in Disneyland. He has decided that he wants to use it in Disneyland, I also told him we won't go to Disneyland until he has had no accidents. Since Disneyland is his favorite place to go it actually has been working. I am very happy with him right now hopefully tonight won't mess things up.

Well I know it has been awhile since my last post. I wanted to wait until something happened. Our ward just split a week ago, and our neighborhood basically became the new ward. We received a call from our bishop that he wanted to see us. We went on Wednesday evening which he then proceeded to give us our new calling. We have been called as the Activites Chairmans. We are very excited but also very nervous. Having to plan activities for your ward is a whole lot different than planning things to do with your friends. So now I am asking all of you for ideas, we need to plan a family activity in the next month to help us get to know the families in our ward. So if you have any fun activities that would help us please let us know. The beginning of the year was also new for Niklas as he is now a Sunbeam. He loves it, the first Sunday in sunbeams he had a little bit of a hard time going but now he goes straight to class with no problems. We also are now going to church in our brand new building which is totally awesome. It will be nice when the weather turns warmer in the spring and summer and just walk to church since it is around the block. Others in the area have commented the same. Thus instead people driving to church we will need to have designated stroller parking areas (lol). I love that all the classrooms now have windows, it makes it a lot easier to check on your child to see how they are doing in class. Well again if you have any ideas for us we are totally open for help.
