BIG GIRL!!!


THis is London on our way to the store and she is wearing panties!!!! London even naps in just panties:)

It's official little London is POTTY TRAINED:)!!!! I could see that she was interested and so I went for it. The book was a HUGE help!!! I was planning on doing the training on Saturday but I could tell that she was totally ready so I started doing some of the things that the book taught little by little every day. There were three things that I think were the biggest help.

1: The baby doll that we used. London had to teach the baby how to potty
2: Being positive ALL THE TIME!!! This was hard because I was genuinely annoyed when she just sat on the potty so she could have a treat.
3: Teaching the diff between WET and DRY and giving TONES of positive attention for being DRY. The doll was also very helpful in this step.

So all in all I didn't use the book to it's full potential and we still had success. So I give this book 5 start!!! GREAT BOOK!!!

If you have any questions let me know:)

Fascinating!!!!

I have always wanted to learn as much as I can about homosexuality. I know and love people that are homosexual and I just think it's important to understand it. I also feel like it's important to know the facts because it is SO READILY excepted in todays society and to stand for what I believe I need to know FACTS. I found this information and found it festinating and very educational. So here is an ARTICLE that made my mouth drop!!!! Also here is the WEB SIGHT that is very educational. The videos (Dr. talking abut his research and his patients and understanding of homosexual behavior) on the sight are very eye opening in understanding homosexual behavior. I would love to hear what you guys think of this material!!! So leave a comment and tell me what ya think:) Happy reading/research:)

It's time!!

My cousin has 3 boys that she trained all within one day and I had to know how. Well this book was the answer!!! I found it on Amazon for $3 and got it in the mail yesterday. I have read it and I have STUDIED it and London is ready!!! If you are at the end of your rope when it comes to potty training you REALLY should get this book.

Here are a few aspects of the book that I found amazing:
#1: These guys are Doctor that were working with Mentally Retarded individuals and they had Severely mentally retarded people toilet trained within 3-4 days.WOW!
#2: They then started to work with children and found that they could have a normal child trained within 3-4 hours.WOW! This is though vigorous research.
#3: The whole process is a POSITIVE one, NEVEr do you react in a mean of angery way.
#4: You use a doll to help teach, a doll that goes pee pee. We just got ours today and London LOVES her doll. (I'm excited about his because she has NEVER really cared about dolls."
#5: It gives you 3 signs to look for to make sure your child is READY! I'll give them to you now so you can see if your little one is ready. 1:Bladder Control-Does your child stay dry for long periods of time and then pees all at once. 2:Physical Readyness-Child needs to pick up things easly, walk without assistance. 3: Child needs to be able to follow instructions, EX: point to nose, eyes, ears. ASk them to sit down and stand up. Thanks it, if they pass these three things they are ready.

London is already doing pees and poo's in the potty every once and a while so I know that she is ready but I'm going to get Dane ready in the next month so we can get him out of diapers as well. I can't wait to STOP spending a fortune on dialers and wipes!


I am going to be doing the training this weekend so I will tell you all how it goes. If it is a disaster I'll tell you, If it's a HUGE success I'll tell ya! I wish someone had done this post for me when we were working with Jack so I will do it for ya'll:) Wish me luck!

Sneeky Kitty Cat

Lets just start this post reminding everyone that I am a very special........spirit. I do things that most won't claim but I claim them and LOVE doing it:) So don't feel sorry for me......I don't feel sorry for myself:)!

I was in the dressing room at the Temple getting ready to leave for the night. My friend Janet was in the stall next to me. I was wearing boots so I had on a pair of very "Special" socks, I mean who cares what socks you wear when you have boots on , right? They were blue with kitty cats wearing Santa hats, I got them for a steal of 25 cents a few years ago. I mean who in their right mind is going to pass up that deal........even if they did have hideous kitty cats on them.

As I was thinking about my BEAUTIFUL socks I thought my friend Janet would love to see them as well so I I showed them to her. I stuck HALF my leg under the stall and said, "Janet you know your jealous of these kitty cat socks!" I know that is so appropriate in the Temple, I just make good choices like this all the time, they just come to me. Anyhoo after I said it Janet didn't say anything, I was shocked because it was quite hilarious in my "special" opinion.

I finish dressing not thinking a thing of it and left my stall. As I walk out I see Janet all dressed in white.........."Janet what are you doing?" Janet says "Just waiting to get dressed." "Oh............................well that explains a few things" I decide that this would make a perfect time to go potty, so I did, laughing inside all the way there.........what had I just done? I wait for Riley and tell him the story, he just looks at me like he knew it already, in fact it was as if he expected it from me.

When my good friend Janet comes out I tell her the story and she can't stop laughing, she says "Only you Lindsey." IT's true things like this only happen to people like me who decide to show off their kitty socks in the Temple dressing room, in other words Idiots!

I have learned my lesson and I'm sure that poor, mysterious YOUNG girl in that dressing room posing as Janet learned something as well, even crazy people go to the Temple:) Sorry fake Janet!

The best decision I have ever made in this life was to marry YOU!!!! I love to look back on the last 6 1/2 years and think about how all the things we have been through has brought us to where we are today, and today is so WONDERFUL! I don't know how we got so lucky but we really are like 2 puzzle pieces and fit perfectly.
I have no doubt that we will walk through this life together hand in hand and then into the eternities, you will always be at my side and I will always be at yours. Thank you for making my life extraordinary, thank you for making it more than I ever dreamt it to be. I love you inside and out, top to bottom and through and through!!! I couldn't live without my Britches!
