Updating from could have been Water World

Hey so like most people here in Texas everything has been wet this last week. We are lucky we did not flood while I do have family on the river It looks like they may be lucky as well. From all the rain there have not been anything spectatular in my world We took the week off to really focus on some at home things we have been lacking like potty training and Chores.

Potty Training - Most people Do not realize how bad my family has sensitive skin and even then we take care of the issue so you Will not see any issues. Ive been trying to potty train Delilah since about 18m.  Each time it was the same thing she knew when she was going but she did not like to sit on the toilette. After 4 types of potty chairs and multiple attempts Im really quite Fusterated and I am at the point where Im not going to take a Toddlers No for an answer. Armed with a bunch of plain little girl pantys we have gotten farther than we ever have. While we are still having accidents. Out in Public we show interest in using the potty. And we try not to at least Poop on our self. Which means it may be a slow process but its working. And after doing the 3 day method and Once upon a potty, Bribing with toys and candy I can say each child is different and I hate to strong arm her but I am so ready not to be looking at a blistering butt because Cloth Diapers are holding too much moisture or The Disposable hypo allergenic diapers have Too much chemical  for her to not blister up.


Chores - This week after Living inside with no Outlet of being able to go outside and play or to a park the kids took their frustration out on well everything. Book Thrown , Toys scattered, It was becoming a mess to look at. So we started something. The Barney clean up song. We play it and begin to clean up. Now that is great for bedtime and during the day they just clean. If they spill something uh oh and they clean it up. Delilah has chores now She is almost three, She needs to Feed the animals, Pick up toys and books, Put up her clean clothing and  put away her dirty clothing, Pass mommy the clean dishes out of the dishwasher, help sweep. Dusting with a rag. Simple Things to make her feel wanted and useful And her sister follows in hand if delilah has the broom korrah has the dust pan if delilah has a rag korrah has a rag. And so far they like it and are happy.

Besides that This week has been boring Rain Rain Rain. So much Rain but I will say I hope it does not turn into a drought.
