The Potty Fish

When Abby was potty training the end reward was a "Potty Fish" and that is how we had Nemo for about 2 years. Now Megan has finally earned her "Potty Fish". We'd like to introduce you to our newest family member.....Sweetheart.


Sweetheart is a girl fish of course, she is hiding behind her friend Nemo in the bowl photo. It's actually Sweetheart II - Sweetheart I didn't make it through nap time. Apparently they should only stay in those bags you get them from the pet store for 1-2 hours - who knew? But Abby and Tim made an emergency replacement run while Megan was still napping/occupied and she didn't notice the difference. Abby has done her part to keep the secret also....for now.


Here is Megan having breakfast with Sweetheart this morning. It's her job to feed Sweetheart every morning. She still thinks that Sweetheart will eat/bite her for some reason or has teeth. She's slowly figuring out that she will stay in the bowl, but still likes us to stay close while she is watching her.

So we are pretty proud of Megan's accomplishments and are enjoying not having to buy diapers/pull ups anymore. She is fully enjoying her "big girl panties" and is always asking for more as she thinks she should have ones that match every outfit she wears. She even told us to put away the potty seat this weekend because she was a big girl and could go potty like Daddy/Abby. So we are very happy, and it was a nice celebration to buy Sweetheart.


And of course the Easter Bunny. We did not take (force is probably the better word) the trip to Bass Pro. We were grocery shopping after church on Sunday and the Easter Bunny was there all ready for pictures. Abby hopped right up. Megan even touched his hand before he moved and she freaked out and ran away crying. So Abby got the photo with the bunny and Megan continued her look out for the Easter Bunny the rest of the morning. He was not at Michael's or at PetSmart which she was very happy about.


Our continued quest is to start to get ready for #3. I am finally officially moving Megan into Abby's room. She has been sleeping in the bunk beds for quite a while but her clothes were still in the other room. So the process of moving her clothes into the closet/drawers - upgrading to the next size clothes/putting winter clothes away since it's practically summer.....has started. Wasn't exactly the easy project I thought it would be as these girls have a lot of stuff to put in one room and one closet! So Tim put in a new shelf to help with storage - which was the first thing on my 2 page pre-baby list that got crossed off, so that was a small win in my book. Now I just need to finish the rest. I'm hoping by mid week to have it done at the latest. Abby is having a hard time parting with clothes that were her favorite - especially when Megan is wearing her summer clothes from last year. There were tears, and a plea to try them on to see if they still fit to keep them for this year. It's going to be fun. I can't wait until they are the same size and get to fight over clothes daily. They are going to need a bigger closet......
