Break-time/Potty-time

We are going to (Lord willing) finish our 1st trimester of language school in about 2 weeks and we will then have about a 2 week break :-) Yea!!! We are so looking forward to a break, but wait . . . we actually have a big mission ahead of us during the break, POTTY TRAINING little Miss Iva!

Iva is about 2 1/2 and "we" think she is ready, but I guess we will just have to wait and see. It is near impossible to work on potty training while we are in school everyday so we thought the break would be a good time to have a little potty training bootcamp so to speak :-)

We recently purchased a used potty chair from another family here and the first night I pulled it out and cleaned it up Iva (and Samuel) were both so interested that they just had to check it out right away :-)
Right there in the kitchen Iva "sat" on her new potty chair for the very first time. Samuel was so thrilled about it too that he said, "Mommy, take a picture of both of us!" So of course I took him up on his offer :-)
A little later, Samuel actually had some business that he needed to take care of and of course Iva had to see if she could do some business too. She basically just got some practice sitting, but they were just too cute not to snap a little picture of both of them on their potties. (This should be a fun picture to pull out when they are older and have little ones of their own!)
