That's my Boy!

Last night the kids were playing outside. Suddenly Emma and Olivia ran in screaming for Daddy to come out quick. Marc went to see what was up and came back in for the camera. I guess the kids saw this bug and Marcus immediately "saved" the girls by stomping on it. He then proceeded to pick it up and chase them around the yard with it. Daddy was so proud.

Speaking of proud...Marcus is finally interested in potty training. I have to thank daycare for this. He refused to go for us and I didn't want to push for fear of it being a negative experience and backfiring. Well this week daycare decided to give it a try. They set the timer every 40 minutes and then Marcus goes potty...he gets a gummy bear if he goes. It worked like a charm. He was in big boy undies all day, no accidents! We tried gummy bears and the timer at home tonight and he was all over it! YEAH!!! A step in the right direction!!!

That sounds like the exact same way you train a dog. :) Maybe I can survive raising kids someday.

Typical little boy. Marcus is such a cool little brother saving his sisters from the bug and them tormenting them with the bug. Way to go Marcus. Potty training-wow it will be so nice for you. NO MORE DIAPERS:)
