Hard to believe....

Welp, we are reaching our last few weeks as a family, thankfully i got good news tonight that dates have been pushed back some so we get some more time! SOO what have we been doing.....NOTHING BUT FAMILY TIME!!!!! :)) Spent our 4-day weekend watching movies and playing with the girls!

Started fully potty training Ruth, its official NO MORE DIAPERS in this house!!!! she has done great for being 18m and on her second day. I have learned that she has AMAZING bladder control. stays dry for 2-4hrs! She stayed dry her first night which was awesome, and she has only had 3 accidents today compared to the 6 yesterday. Ive noticed she does better when she is without undies on, she will stop herself from peeing, she caught herself in a dribble today and stopped walked to her potty and finished (Awesome right?!?!)!!! So thats what I've been doing yesterday and today, hoping by this time next week she is at least telling me every time before and/or going on her own!

I have also realized that it is MUCH harder to potty train with treats and rewards with a child that is already potty trained, cause then they think that they deserve them too, so we've had to explain to Jennika that its Ruth's turn to learn how to be a big girl and this is what we did with you so now we are doing it with Ruth. So i compromised and said if she stays dry all day (which she does no problem by now) she can have an M&M before bath time....so far its helped thankfully!

We have my mother in law and John's best friend coming out from Oregon on Monday, to spend a week here with us, so this weekend is getting the spare room back together and a bed in there. Glad John will get some time with his mom before he heads out.

Last week we got rid of dressers, we had a scare with Jennika the dressers were in their closet facing each other and Jennika pulled on her dresser and it fell over, thankfully Ruth's dresser was right across and it caught the dresser instead of it landing on Jennika. So i bought some closet organizer starter kit from Amazon and set it all up, girls now have everything hung up which is nicer for my OCD self since everything is in its place and neat! no more digging into dresser drawers for one shirt and ruining my folding and organizing haha.

Jennika has also been working on her letters and name. She did an amazing job for her first time!!

Thats about it thats new with us Rodewald's hard to believe January is already almost over!
