The Joy's Of Potty Training!

I have been sticking Lilee on the potty the last few days before her bath. Last night she went Pee Pee for the first time. Jordan was so excited about it he had to give her candy!

Her favorite part is getting the toilet paper ready.

Waiting patiently waiting for her bath water to be ready.

We had a bad day yesterday. Since we do not have a kitchen right now we have to eat out alot. After I had taken the kids out to eat, while we were trying to get into the house Josiah bumped into Sara and made her fall and scrape her knee. As I was unlocking the door I heard screaming. So I ran to see if she was ok. When I got her to stop crying , I asked Siah to give her a hug and tell her he was sorry and he did. As I turned my back to throw something into the trash outside I heard a loud thud and then everyone started screaming. Josiah was carring Lilee into the house, (because our front step is to big for her short little legs) Jordan opened the door into them and Lilee went flying out of his arms. Jordan caught her leg on the way down but she hit her head in the edge of the concrete step and scrapped her arm. Lets just say my heart stopped. By the time I threw everything downI ran to get her she had a huge knot on her head already. I held ice on her head for a while ,Josiah felt so bad that he wanted to take over and then Jordan sat on the couch with her and watched TV holding ice on her head. All the kids hoovered over her all night long. Even after they went to bed Josiah kept getting up asking me if I am checking on her. He felt so bad! I explained to them why we had to watch her so closely and what can happen. She still has a nice size bump on her head but it looks alot better then last night. I was ready to take her to the hospital if I saw any head injury signs but she did ok. She was crying a little in her sleep last night but I woke her up several times checking her and watching her eyes. She start running around the house last night before bed acting her old self. But she kept saying SCAREY SCAREY! I guess she heard mommy saying it Scared the life out of me!

Joel said," it must of made her smarter because she pee peed in the potty last night."

Verses that really spoke to me and helped me get through our adoptions.

(John 14:18) " I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you."

(Isaiah 43:5-6) "Do not be afraid, for I am with you,
I will bring your children from the west. Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth."

(Proverbs 25:25) "As cold water is to a thirsty soul : so is good
news from a far country."

(Matthew 6:25-34) The do not worry chapter.
This is the chapter that told me we would adopt again and the
baby girl woud be named Lily (Lilee). "The lilies of the field".
This is a great reminder of why we should not worry, God will take care of his people!

(Psalms 82: 3-4) "Defend the cause of the weak and the fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Resue the weak and neady; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."

(Psalms 68: 5) "A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling."

(Deuteronomy 10:18) " He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow and loves the alien, giving them food and clothing."

(Philippians 4:13) "I can do all things through him who gives me strength."

(Philippians 4:6-7) " Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present
your request to God. And the peace of God,which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

(Romans 8:28) " And we know that all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

(James 1:27) "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after the orphans and widows in their destress, and to keep oneself from being polluted from by the world."
