Potty Master...Sales

So we have a potty master in our house now! Well that might be a little early to say that but this week his preschool has been trying a new method with him and OMG has it taken off! Has only 1 accident a day compared to 8 and yesterday he came home in the clothes I sent him off in. OMG OMG!!! I was thrilled!!! He was thrilled and couldn't wait to show me all his stickers of success!

One proud Momma and totally deserved his Popsicle reward...BEFORE dinner! :-)

What was the trick?!? Before when he would say potty he would sit down and nothing would happen and then ask to come off....which resulted in him peeing on himself a few minutes after. So they got a cup of warm water and pour it on him, which would cause him to release it. Worked every time!! Now they just turn on the sink to prompt him to go...and slowly will ween him to he teach himself to release it without assistance. Either way I'm highly impressed.....I think me begging them to help haha worked! Plus, they are fully on the train to get him potty trained at least during the day before the new baby comes. Thank goodness!! Love them!! I seriously couldn't be more happy with his school.

Last night was the big Fall/Winter Consignment sale I go to every year...and man I racked up! Knocked off a few Christmas presents and got Aiden and Brody some cute clothes. What was the damage? Only $104.  For what I got TOTALLY amazing price considering I didn't go on half off day!

Why didn't I go then...well I saw on their pictures they had lots of Art Easels (Aiden's big Christmas gift) so I was on the mission to get one. Man was I glad! I got the last one! I really wanted the Step2 Art Easel, because it's double sided so perfect for 2 little boys to use. Hopefully it will cause less fights. (Smart thinking Momma!) And the fact the folds flat makes it great to hide in a closet when not used. Retail price $40. My price $20. Now I can use those savings to buy the painting companion set. I did get a Melissa and Doug Easel pad for only $4.50, which is normally $7. Needless to say I was extremely happy even if the easel has a little scuffs on it, nothing a good scrubbing won't fix and let's be honest Aiden will probably add scuffs so who really cares.

I also found Carlos' Christmas gift. YAH! 1 down 1 to go! It was brand new still in the wrapping! Retail price $20. My price $12. Melissa and Doug Animal Pattern Block set. I didn't want to get him the stereotypical car or truck but something that was fun and challenging. I see Aiden playing alot with this when he's over at Gabby and Grande's...that boy loves his puzzles.

My other mission find Aiden 3T pants and a few 3T long sleeve tshirts and Brody a Christmas onesie. Which I scored. Even found Aiden some cute Christmas PJs, ALABAMA long sleeve shirt, Lion Halloween outfit, a couple stocking stuffers, and Stride Rite shoes.

Even though Brody doesn't really need clothes I did buy him 3 other outfits, that were SO cute and cheap I couldn't pass up. One was a Zutano Elephant Gown. Brand new still with tags Retail $24. My price $7....pricey in my eyes but hello it had ELEPHANTS RTR! sold! The other was a cute velvet set (perfect for daycare) that was fun! My price $3. Last was the best...I paid $12 which is high but it included 8 items! It's Gymboree and the beavers were ADORABLE!! Came with 2 pairs of socks, bib, tshirt, 2 onesies, reversable pants and jacket...love it! Retail price every piece around $5= $35. Score!
