Charts

I picked Jennie up from Apple nursery today and noticed her pants were backwards, then noticed her obviously diaper-free bum and asked the ladies how that went. They knew nothing of the situation, and said that her pants were backwards the whole time. "Jennie, where is your diaper?" I asked and she confidently led me to the miniature toilet and there it was in the garbage can, a totally unfolded (an adult would never throw it away like that) diaper. Sure enough, she took off her diaper and stayed dry at least most of the 2 hours she was in there. I then went grocery shopping with her just in pants and she made it home and ran straight to the toilet. So today is the day. A clean stack of underwear is on top of our toilet and a chart is taped to the wall and she wants a puppy when she's done.

Stuffed of course.

Jennie's chart made everyone want a chart, so Dalton has a piano practice and scripture chart. Joe has a shower and homework chart. Sophia has a 1 outfit a day and bed-making chart.

My sticker pad is sacred right now.

Jennie just wet the bathroom rug. I hope this isn't another Sophia repeat... I can't handle this for another 3 years.

I'm back!

The computer is VIRUS free, and I'll be blogging again soon. Honestly, I miss Facebook, and I'm a little sad to be saying goodbye forever, but I can't risk it.

Muah!

Grandpa Bud Dalton


Grandpa Bud died this morning. He's been suffering, and my Grandma has been caring for him for about 10 years. It's a blessing to know that he is no longer in pain.

I love this picture of both he and Grandma Martha at my wedding. You can see the love in his eyes, the health in his cheeks, and the happiness they shared.

He was quick with numbers, quick to laugh heartily, and quick to love my Grandma.
