It is all about the M&M's

There has been a lot of things happening lately. Jordan has given up the bottle because we decided either she gave it up now or we would struggle to pull it out of her grasp when she was two. She has not even asked for it and it has been almost a week. She was more than ready and now she only wants the new "big girl" cups that are designed for two year olds and she drinks out of it like a champ.
Jordan has finally cut two of the three molars that have been threatening to poke through her gums. Her gums were so sore it hurt to look at them. Now we just have one more tooth on the brink of popping through and we may have a small break before the rest of the teeth decide to make an appearance.
Sydney has made great strides in the potty training department. On Sunday she pooped on the potty which is just amazing because she has all but refused to step foot in the bathroom when she has to poop. She has tried to poop on the potty every day since but has had no success in that department. Her success is in the other department, Sydney is just wonderful when it comes to telling us when it is time to go to the bathroom and making it there on time. She is doing such a great job that she went to Target today to buy more big girl panties because she is going to school tomorrow in panties. She is very excited and can not wait to go to school in the morning. I just hope she feels that way in the morning.
Lior is doing a little better than she was over the weekend. When she is trying to keep up with Sydney and excited about getting M&M's she does not have accidents. I am not sure she is fully aware that she has complete control of the whole "peeing thing" but she is trying. Lior also pooped on the potty today and was very excited about it. She called Matt and left a message on his machine at work telling him that she went "poopy on the potty". Matt was thrilled to get the message, she was just so excited! She also went to Target and got to pick out new panties because we are not wearing diapers in the house at all anymore.
Jordan would like to start potty training because she can not keep her pants on. Every time she starts pulling off her pants she starts screaming "diaper, diaper" because she wants to be just like the big kids. Right now I am trying to keep the diapers on her and she seems to be very happy getting an M&M or two any time one of the big kids does something on the potty.
