8.12-8.16.11 ~ Lincoln City

We took a vacation to Lincoln City, OR this month with the Coulson side of the family and had a great time. We rented a little house near the ocean and got to enjoy the Oregon Coast. The girls loved playing in the ocean, knocking down sand castles, and just exploring the beaches.

8.2.11 ~ Potty training update

It's been two weeks since we started potty training. The girls were ready and picked it up pretty quickly. They had a few accidents for the first eight days of training and then haven't had any since then! We've done five days in a row now with no accidents for any of them and they need very few reminders anymore to go and sit. I'm so proud of them! They are all still very motivated to get a jelly bean but all the other reinforcers have been taken away. No more prize box and no more stickers. We're gradually venturing out of the house a little bit and adding distractions like swimming pools and play dates. Maybe we'll go on a walk later this week and see how they do.
