Potty Training Boot Camp

This weekend it's bye-bye diapers and hello panties! We started tonight by making a big deal of throwing away all of the diapers (we only had about 4-5 left anyway) because only babies need diapers and Katie is a big girl now! Then we opened up her Pull-Ups and she got to pick one out and put it on for bed. Tomorrow morning it'll be straight to big girl panties. I'm sure there will be some accidents but she's been doing well without a diaper on at night after dinner. Tonight she didn't have a diaper on and she went potty 3x before bed with no accidents. So she's definitely ready, it's just a matter of me following through with it. Wish me luck!

Hello Pull-Ups!

Crayola Factory

Last Saturday, Joseph and I took Katie to the Crayola Factory in Easton on a whim. What a great decision! All three of us had so much fun!!! I think it's safe to say we all can't wait to go back. :-)

P.S. I posted our first blog video. Check it out below!

Here's how the crayons are made:

Wax poured onto belt and it drops through the holes into a crayon mold.
Once it cools the tray holding the new crayons is pulled out from under the belt
and taken to the next machine.

Honestly, I forget what this machine does, lol.
I think it sorts out the crayons and rids the bad quality ones.

The wrapper machine.
This is how they get the paper label on there.

The sorting machine.
Pulls 1 of each color and inserts it into the box.

Some pictures of us enjoying the day:
