This week Soul has been a big week for Soul. She has actually been going pee and poo, well most times, in the potty. She still isn’t too great at telling us she has to go, but we just sit her on and she goes. We’ve been wanting to potty train her for awhile, but she would say no and then we would move on and try another time. We would even bribe her with tons of things… my little pony, minnie mouse, balloons, but never food and she would still resist. What is finally working? She wants to sleep with True and Brave in the big girls’ room. She knows if she wants to sleep with them at night, she has to go potty and so far it’s been working. Plus prayer. She was being mostly difficult, then Ben and I prayed for it one night and since then, it has been much smoother. God said yes to this one.
So with that going potty business, she has also been sleeping with True and Brave in their rooms. Out of the three, she is the feistier one, despite how sweet her face is, so when we put them all down for the night, there never fails to be a few quarrels in the room (mostly started by Soul), but for the most part, they all go down and out as smooth as it can be with three girls in one room.
We love our Soulie… all sweet and feisty parts of her!

Awww, love your little illustrations on the pics:) I shared a room with both my older sister and younger sister and I always remember falling asleep chatting with them. When I finally got my own room I didn’t know what to do!
I love these pictures. They’re very cute! <3
Oh, she is so cute in these jeans!! 🙂
Oh goodness, potty training is never fun, but it is amazing that you have the ability to feel some form of rest and comfort through Christ! That is the best way!! I hope she continues to go EVERY time instead of MOST times on the potty. She’s adorable!
She’s adorable!
She is absolutely precious!
ugh. i love her so much!
I WISH SHE WOULD LET ME HUG HER!!!!!! so sweet!
What a sweetie! Love the bows & bluebirds. Rocking the jeggings!
she’s the cutest out of the four. my favorite!
I find her so cute ! Maybe it is cause she is almost the same age than my girl ! Lets’ go Soul !
I love that you are patient and know that if you push it, it won’t happen. I also love that you don’t use food to bribe her. I am in love with your mommy-wisdom. I am so glad that God is answering your simple prayers!
so cute.. 🙂

Soul is looking so grown up; especially in the first photo with her hands at her hips. She’s looking super cute, too!
And I really like your illustrations with you daughters’ outfits, as well!
Good luck with potty training! I am sooo not looking forward to that time with my littles. But since I have two in diapers, I kinda want it here already at the same time. Grrr.
Aww! I’m so sad, I guess I didn’t subscribe to the new URL and I’ve been missing out!
Aw. It’s pretty awesome of all the things she wants is to be with her big sisters! Just feel lucky you didn’t have to buy all those things and this is free! 🙂
Yes, HE works in mysterious ways.
Sometimes you just have to be feisty to stand out from the crowd. I remember being that way when my older sister was so calm and obedient.
