Round 2 - Potty Training

=

Will potty for M&M's -- if there was such a sign, I'm sure that Maya would be wearing it!

We are potty training full-force today. I'm taking her every 20 minutes or so to sit on the potty - if she just sits, she gets one m&m, if she "produces" she gets two. She has just figured out (around 3:30p) that if she tells me she has to go potty, then she gets an m&m. Hmmm..I'll have to rethink the reward system!

And...she is going to be VERY disappointed tomorrow when she goes to school and there are no such rewards for sitting on the potty. Poor baby!

more digi-scrapping!

I have discovered the quickness and ease of scrapping with pre-made templates and digi-scrap kits. There are many freebies on the web, like the template that I used for this layout (by FreeStyleMama Creations). I purchased the kit, though, because I liked it so much. The digi-scrap kit is available at Kay Miller Designs.

new(ish) hobby...

I have fallen in love with digi-scrapping! It's a form of scrapbooking that is 100% digital. There are some great communities out there of digi-scrappers that have been helpful in getting me started. One way to force myself to learn more about the program that I am using (Photoshop Elements 5.0) is to jump into a challenge. This one was hosted by another adoptive mom, Diana, whom I met a few years ago. This challenge was to scrap in a brag book size (6x4) which is nice because they can be very easily printed at the local Walgreens, Target or wherever!

Here is the outcome...pictures from Maya's 2nd birthday!
