*Disclaimer for those who are not interested in reading about potty training, you may just want to skip this post as pee and poop are commonly used in the post :) *
Mid-January Mr. B got the idea he would like to start sitting on the potty. I obliged him and before we ate, went down for naps, got in the tub, left for school, etc....we sat on the potty. He LOVED to sit on the potty, but did not really entertain the thought to really do anything while he sat there. Now, knowing we had a third kiddo on the way I was not really *excited* about the idea of potty training a kiddo along with taking care of a newborn, I know Bad Momma, right!!! Do not get me wrong, I was thrilled at the thought of only dealing with one kid in diapers, but I was kind of happy knowing I would not have to deal with a kid who 50/50 made it to the bathroom and the other half, I was cleaning up the mess! Until, I pick him up from preschool and they tell me he went pee in the potty! WHAT?? A month of this boy sitting and doing n.o.t.h.i.n.g, he does not even allow me to be witness to this milestone?! Of course, we made a HUGE deal about this and got ice cream on the way home, even Miss A talked about how proud she was of her brother! Then,....the cycle continues of him doing nothing on the potty at home until one day he came in dancing and yelling "poooppy!!" So, we sat him down and with the encouragement of his Daddy, he went! Woo-hoo! Now, we can say this boy is 100% poopy trained on the potty, but the whole pee-pee thing, is a slow going process. He will at least go when he sits down, but he will not tell us when he is doing it in his pull-up. Since Miss C is 3 weeks old now and we *kind of* have a schedule with her, the game is on with his thomas underwear and getting this boy knocked out of the park with this......right?!
Who could not love this picture! Such a great Big Sis!
Keep up the good work Mr. B, I have no one to blame for your performance other than myself. I am amazed you have done so well really, all on your own and your Dad's encouragement, Go Dad!
Here are just a few goodies from the past month. They loved their time with Papa and I think he memorized all of our princess stories by the time he left our house!
Mr. B, this is how we will find you every morning and afternoon. Just hanging out waiting for someone to come and see if you are awake! Sorry to say, I am sure I have left you in your room for an hour awake and did not realize it, thanks for not complaining though!!
Our little monkey! As soon as I brought this costume home, we have had a monkey in our house everyday since! You love it and we love watching you be silly.
