Birthday Pancakes and a Princess Potty Seat

The breakfast of champions in this house is "birthday" pancakes. I'm not exactly sure why Avery calls them that, they have never been served on a birthday of anyone in this house...but my guess is it's because they are fun confetti pancakes! The kids absolutely go nuts for these lifesavers-I'm a huge fan of frozen breakfast food that can quickly be popped in the toaster oven-requesting them nearly every morning:) Spencer eats about 2 and 1/2 of these babies each morning while Avery can put away 1 and 1/2! In fact, Spencer finally signed 'more' while wanting more of these pancakes. He did it just a few days ago after we had been working with him for awhile. It was so amazing-just like with Avery-to see him repeat something with meaning that we had been teaching him!

Spencer's order of birthday pancakes!

Very happy kids to be starting the day off right!

Pancake in...

Delicious! Look at those checks!!

I found these cute dixie cups with lids and animals on them for Avery. They are a fun addition!

I came across this fold up toddler seat for regular toilets. Avery won't go to the bathroom if she's just sitting on a big potty without something shaped more to her little tush. This folds all the way down to the size of one of the corners of this seat so it will be nice and discrete to take when we leave the house. Too bad we still aren't going #2 in the potty. I have about lost my mind with this process. She will ask to sit on the potty many times and do nothing and right after getting off the potty she'll go in her undies...it is so unbelievably frustrating!

Happy Monday!

those pancakes look yummy! hang in there with the potty training- look did the same thing but i refused to go back to diapers. i would bring the potty in front of the tv while he watched a movie, that seemed to help:)

Good luck with the #2 potty training! I can't wait to start that one someday soon- well just potty training in general but I think we might have a while yet...
