I had issues with needing help cleaning and taking care of the boys and I used these couple of websites to help me find what I was looking for

Most of them cost a little money but I usually found someone for the amount of time I needed them for. Hope this helps.

Hmm… thanks. all great ideas!! My oldest was potty trained at 19 months, when the littlesst came along- he went backwards and didn’t get it again until 3. I am hoping things will be different this time and we can get out of diapers!!! I will get the thick underwears from walmart and the stickers. I’m seeing a ton of interst coming from the little one.

Use praise, praise and more praise. This is the most important thing. amanda is right though, do not push him. intoduce the potty. Let him go in with his brother andthen let him try. they usually want to if the big brother is doing.

It’s super important not to push a child if they are not ready. Encourage them to sit on the potty and make it fun. I would sing the “Potty Song” with my daughter. Everytime she sat down I would clap and say things like, “Yay! Brooklynn, what a big girl!” Stckers work awesome as a form of rewad. Keep a pack in the bathroom cabinet.

My first advice to you is to get those thick underwears from walmart…..don’t use pull ups they only prolong the process. Make sure the Teachers know that you are in the process they will help you out a lot. Good luck!

Don’t toss those pumpkin seeds! Toast or roast pumpkin seeds in your microwave in no time at all. They can be salted or spiced to suit your palate. The shells are edible and are a good source of fiber.
Prep Time: 10
Cook Time: 1
Ingredients: Pumpkin seeds ~ Cooking spray ~ olive oil ~ or butter
Optional: Salt, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, or other seasoning of choice
Preparation: Rinse pumpkin seeds. Use your fingers to remove all the pulp. Drain pumpkin seeds and discard pulp. Spread out on a cookie sheet to dry overnight. – Preheat oven to 250 F. Line a baking sheet with non-stick foil. – Toss pumpkin seeds in olive oil, butter, or spray with cooking spray. Sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, cayenne pepper, or your choice of seasonings. Toss to coat. – Bake about 1 hour, tossing every 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown. – Cool pumpkin seeds before eating. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 months or refrigerate up to 1 year. – If you like your toasted pumpkin seeds extra-salty, soak overnight in a solution of 1/4 cup salt to 2 cups of water. Dry an additional day, then proceed as above. Note: Pumpkin seeds are also known as pepitas.

Pudding Cookies
These cookies are easy enough for the kids to mix up with little help.
Ingredients:
1 cup self-rising flour
1 package (3.4 oz) instant pudding mix, Vanilla or French Vanilla
1 egg, lightly beaten
5 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Preparation:
Combine first 4 ingredients; stir until well mixed. Stir or knead in chocolate chips. With hands, form small balls of dough; place on unbaked baking sheet. These cookies don’t spread, so you may want to flatten a bit. Bake in preheated 350° oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned. Makes 1 to 2 dozen, depending on size.
