I love the firsts!

Yeah!!! Danika cut her first tooth yesterday! This has been a long awaited milestone since she is almost 13 months now, lol. Hopefully this means she will have healthy teeth!

The twins are daytime potty-trained now! Another big 'Yeah'!!! Still having an accident now and then, but they are doing really well. Potty-training two is very interesting, to say the least, lol. They wanted to go to dance with Daicee really bad, so I told them they had to be potty trained. That was a really good motivator for them! They aren't quite three, yet, so I think they are doing really well! I have found the tool that works best for my kids is finding what motivates them to do it. With Garrisen it was a remote-controlled McQueen car and Daicee wanted a singing barbie. I put them high on a bookshelf so they could see it and once they decided they wanted it bad enough and they weren't going to get it by crying or whining (that took about a week, maybe two), they were each done in a day! Paige and Saige weren't really interested in anything, so I'm glad the dance opportunity came along at the right time. Now we just have night-time to do, but I'm not stressing over that right now. I don't want them getting up at night, yet. Danika is finally sleeping through the night consistently again, so I am taking advantage of sleep!
