Creamsicle and Tangerine

Although Noah's been potty-trained for quite some time now, he's still recently been using pull-ups at bedtime to avoid accidents while he was getting used to going to the bathroom unassisted in the middle of the night. To quote Kristi on Facebook today: "Today in the Gatchel house it is "Noah the Big Kid" day as we are officially (for a week plus now) diaper, pull-up, accident etc free!"


So to as a reward and to show our appreciation, we went out today to get Noah a new pet. A fish! While we were at the store getting the other fish accessories that fishes need, I guess it was decided that the fish needed a friend, so we got two fishes dubbed "Creamsicle" and "Tangerine". I'll leave it to the reader to determine which is which...

We also got Mikayla her very first pair of "underoos" to continue the potty-training encouragement. With her brother as her role model, we don't expect it to take too long.

(Note: As you can see in the pictures below, Kristi has been working hard to remove the ugly wallpaper in the bathroom and kitchen which she finally finished today!)

He's so proud of them!
