We named this blog after the two states we mainly lived in, Hawaii where Casey lived for 10 years, where Benil grew up at and where Elliana was born. Texas our current home state, and where our second child, Levi was born. This will follow slight glimpse of our daily life, our hobbies and obsessions and highlight aspects of Elliana and Levi's life as they grows We hope for this to serve as an electronic journal when our kids are older.

Potty Training

I haven't posted in a long while and I thought today would be a great day to start. 
The things our soon to be 3 year old say's are hilarious. I can't believe how fast she learns and pick up things. She is recently potty trained, we used the sticker system to train her. Each time she would pee in the potty she we would give her a sticker, and when she poops in the potty she got 2 stickers. This worked and we filled up a full sheet of paper with her stickers. When she had it all filled out she wanted a new paper. We took the old paper down and gave her a new sheet. After a couple of days of using the new sheet, she looked at me and said "mommy, I potty trained now, take this away" and sure enough we did. 
She has done a wonderful job with this. She uses our regular Toilet with her dora seat. She stays dry throughout her nap and she has been sleeping through the night and waking up in the mornings with dry underwear. She had 3 accidents so far, twice in the bed, once was during nap time when she said she was dreaming, the other was early in the morning when Casey was letting her play in the morning because she wasn't making too much noise and sounded like she was playing in her crib. And the last was the other day when she refused to go to the potty for me because she was so excited to come downstairs.
