Team Impact

Tonight was the first night of Team Impact at our Church and it went great, large crowd, big group came forward at the end. Praying for bigger crowds and many more to make decisions this week.

Cheyenne enjoyed having them sign her shirt and get pictures with them!

Courtney got autographs but wouldn't take a picture with them, and Chase and Britt had friends come so they were hanging out talking at the end, and Ryan could care less.

And for a potty update (like you really care): He went all day with only 2 accidents, one was on the way home, he did tell us but we were nowhere near a bathroom and he couldn't hold it, and then right before bed he had another accident. But it was 10pm, so he was WAY past his bedtime so I know he was tired and had had a long day.

I thought that was very good after only 3 days, and we were out most of the day, library storytime in morning, and church that night (and we were at church for almost 4 hours). He also wore undies all day with no problems AND used the 'big potty' while we were out, at home he'd only used his potty chair. We really got to work on that aim though!

Tales from the toliet!

Well we are on day 2 of potty training. Yes there is a whole lot of 'pottyin' going on around here.


And so far he's done better than I expected....sort of! As long as he's...um...'au naturale', or 'commando' as John calls it, he does great, no accidents, goes all by himself, I don't even have to ask or remind him. He goes potty, stands up and applauds himself and then brings the cup thing to me to go flush (potty is in kitchen for now), and he goes back to his playing. He doesn't even care about the m&m rewards, that was Chey's favorite part when potty training, now she eats them for him.

But.....put undies on him......



and he treats it like a diaper. He does come tell me afterwards though. Then take them off, and he does great again. Sigh!!!

I'm sure he'll get it eventually, he does understand the basic concept of when he needs to go so I know he's ready, I guess when he gets tired of feeling the wetness it will click. Obviously the 'gentle breeze' don't bother him.

My little man is becoming a very big boy!

And speaking of my little man, for those of you that don't get to see him often I thought I'd give you some current stats...
*He's 2 months shy of turning 2 years old (or 2 old as Chey said at that age)
*His favorite beverage of choice is sweet tea, thats ALL he wants lately
*All smallish animals are dogs such as cats, chickens, pigs and all large animals are horses, like cows, elephants, giraffes
*He's a camera hog, get out the camera and he comes running, eyes squinting shut, grinning and saying cheeeeeees
*He LOVES to take a bath, HATES to get his hair washed, I'm talking kicking, screaming bloody murder hates to get his hair washed.
*And speaking of hair, he loves it. If he's drinking a cup his other hand is attached to his hair, if he can't reach his, he plays with mine, which is what he did before he grew his own. (I guess his hair is to him like Chey's dog is to her)
*He's a daddy's boy, if John's home, he won't leave his side, if John's gone he gets my phone and somehow manages to call several times a day. (No telling who else he's called)
*And he loves, loves, loves the outdoors...rain, shine, hot or cold he don't care he just wants outside. He puts on whatever shoes he can find, usually Chey's and usually not matching and then begs whoever will listen to go byebye which just means outside.

*And lastly, he's always smiling (unless he's sick)

Willis Got Talent!

Today our church had a fundraiser and talent show for an upcoming mission trip, Casas Por Cristo in Mexico, of which John is planning on going and participating in. The talent show was called Willis Got Talent and Cheyenne and Courtney were part of the talent.

Cheyenne and the Harmony Hoppers were dressed as California Raisins and danced to I Heard it thru the Grapevine.

And Courtney sang Imagine Me Without You. She did great as usual and blew everyone away. She was next to last to sing out of about 16 acts and everyone was starting to clean up and it was a little noisy but I noticed when she started singing it got quiet and people were listening. People were coming up afterward asking is that the shy little girl in class that sits by herself and doesn't talk or participate. Yup! That would be our Court! But she did awesome and we are so proud.

She also sang While I'm Waiting, the song from the Fireproof movie, a couple of weeks ago at Grace Baptist. She picked the song for John because she said it reminded her of his life right now, and we are EXTREMELY proud of him and all the changes he's made in his life and our family.

And  that was our day!

 The rest of the week will be spent in a very exciting manner....Potty Training!!!Whoopie...Pray for us!HA!
