Potty training is finally over!



I have been potty training Joey the last few months and I am so excited to finally say he is COMPLETELY potty trained. I just wanted to share this cute story about what he said the other day, but first let me just say that we have had somewhat of a hard time getting him to go in the potty. Unfourtanely our main problem has not been with #1 but #2. Ewwwww, I have thrown away many, many pairs of underwear! :) SO we tried everything, we tried rewards, we tried discipline, we took away his trains, everything, and I would tell him over and over, "You have to be a big boys, big boys go on the potty. Don't you want to be a big boy? You need to be a big boy like Jess, and Alex, and Tanner and all of your friends." Nothing seemed to work until I guess one day it just finally clicked. So...he hasn't had any accidents AT ALL for 3 weeks or so, yeah!!!! So yesterday he was going #2 on the potty, and I was in there with him and I said " Joey, I am so so proud of you, you are such a big boy" and he said "Yes, I am a big boy just like Jess!" I thought that was so sweet, he loves his cousin Jess! So I will have to thank Jess, because in a way, he helped potty train Joey!

Now only one more kid to go!!

Baby Jack's Birthday Parade!

Baby Jack turned one! I can't believe it's already been a year since his birth. We had a parade for him at my mom and dad's house last Sunday. The kid's decorated there bike's and rode up and down the long driveway, the weather turned out to be perfect for it! Jack had a great time, he love's being outside. Everything turned out perfect, well except that he burnt his finger on the birthday candle, that was sad. Poor baby!
