Fish and Potties (not necessarily together)

Well I have been very proud of my fish in our pond. I have dutifully fed them and added water to their pond. The other night I put way too much water in the pond. Sadly the next day while I was talking to my sister I noticed dead fish. Yes my friends I am a fish killer. My sister wisely suggested that I get some fish education before I try things again. So the girls and I went down to Petco and bought some more fish. The nice gentleman, who helped this crazy mama with her 2 kids doing laps around the fish tanks, was very helpful and suggested trying the cheapy gold fish. He gave me some other reccomendations as well. The fish were added to the pond where they seem to be adapting well and are still alive over 12 hours later.

I decided that since Ava has been taking her diaper off on multiple occasions a day I would start full blown potty training. Pull ups are nice but arent panties prettier. I went to the local childrens resale shop and purchased 2 potty chairs to sit in front of the TV. When I told Olivia my idea she was crying and said "But that's not sensible!" Oh my! So after naptime they donned nothing but their underwear and watched a movie on their potty chairs. I am happy to report that at Ava just went pee pee in the potty! Woo hoo. I gave her multiple M&Ms. Olivia has not, YET!
