Puppies and Potties

Summer peed in her potty last night, but has pretty much refused to sit on it today. Not even for a marshmallow. I think I might need to upgrade the treat. I want to make a potty chart for her, maybe that will work. We switched her over completely from Pampers to Pull-Ups during the day. I don't see much difference in them with exception to the little purple flowers that tell me that I suck at getting her to her potty in time.

We are having an issue with Harley. First, she started jumping up on our 5ft tall flower box (somehow... it's so tall.. we think she may have some type of superhero jumping ability) on the side of the house and jumping down into the front yard. She would then chase squirrels down the street and have to be grabbed by a neighbor who happened to be outside. That happened 3 times and then we solved that problem by putting flower pots along the edge of the flower box. That lasted a few days, but then she found a hole in the fence and has a new escape route. Until we patch it up, we're having to take her outside on her leash to use the bathroom, and we can't let her run around the backyard because she heads straight for the hole. It's very frustrating. She's lucky that in every other aspect she's still a great dog.

Headline News -- Girl, 2, Fecalated into her potty.

Yes, fecalated is a word. But, in other words, Summer pooped in her potty this morning! Those of you who have kids know how big of a deal this is. I got extremely excited and gave her a marshmallow as a prize. Let's hope this wasn't a one time thing. I am SICK and TIRED and soooo over changing 10 diapers a day.

Scientists found a drug that can reverse the affects of MS! I saw this posted on perezhilton.com this morning and had to share. It's pretty exciting to me, because my mom's cousin died this past year of MS. If they can come up with this, who knows what else they will be able to find a medication for. With a grandmother suffering in the deep stages of Alzheimer Disease, this certainly gives me hope that someday a cure can be found.

So, I just now got up to check on the kids, and found this:

Yep, that's toilet paper all over the floor, and the potty seat on Camryn's arm. Gotta love em.

We are passing a cold around the house this week. Summer got sick yesterday, I'm sick today, and I have a feeling Camryn will be sick tomorrow. Tis the season for colds, I suppose. I kind of expect it, when I see my kids lean over and lick the grocery cart handle.

I need to go make us some lunch and figure out what kind of quiet activity I can attempt to do with the girls today. Wish me luck!
