Potty Training

I have decided that as mom (at least what I have experienced so far) there are two reasons you spend most of your time on the bathroom floor: morning sickness and potty training.  The last week has been potty training boot camp at our house.  I honestly started on a whim last Tuesday night because I knew my parents would be in town for a few days to help with B.  I must say that I have been pleasantly surprised how well D has done!  I had built up in my mind just how horrible it was going to be, but fortunately it has not been bad at all.  Yes, we have had our accidents and frustrations.  There have been multiple moments when potty training D was a lesson in perseverance for his momma!  I got a little weepy this morning when I realized how much D has changed in the 3 short months since his brother was born.  He is now sleeping in a big boy bed and well on his way to being potty trained.

The big boy!  I have honestly loved the extra time I have spent with him over the last week.
The setup: Potty, puzzles, and stool for momma
Puzzles to keep us busy while we try!
The ever important Thomas big boy underwear
Perhaps the most important of all ... the jelly beans.


Hopefully we will keep up the good progress over the weekend!  Have a great weekend!
