Potty Training, Bunk Beds and Sleepovers

This weekend turned into an impromptu potty training session for Bryce.  He was on a roll Friday night so we thought, why not?!  While this potty training is not going to be as cut and, ahem, dry as it was for Kari, we are making good strides.  The dangling carrot has been a bunk bed for his room.  This may sound like an awesome incentive for a little guy, it's also pretty difficult to describe a bunk bed to a three year old.  So, our big stinkin' incentive somewhat blew up in our face.  Fortunately for Bryce, I was getting tired of my car being displaced in the garage by the unassembled bunk beds and with Kari at Nolan's for a long-awaited sleep over, we got started on assembling the behemoth.

Eventually we got the thing put together and Bryce couldn't be more excited.

We've still got a ways to go, but we're getting there.

In other news, Kari has diligently been working on earning stickers on her good behavior sheet.  A few weeks ago she had finally earned all 40 stickers and proclaimed that she wanted a sleepover with Nolan.  Come to find out, her idea of a sleepover with Nolan meant AT Nolan's house.  It sounded like a win-win situation for Kevin and I, and we reluctantly got Clawsons on board for the reward.  After wading through busy weekend schedules and family sickness, we finally were able to land on this weekend.  From what we heard, they had a great time.

This afternoon we'll be heading out to one of the Purdue Farm pumpkin patches to get a couple pumpkins.
