Goal #3 Complete

Oh my, it took 6 days but my little guy got it. He has gone 2 days without accidents and has told me everytime he has to use the restroom. Oh my goodness. It just clicked for him on day 6 and things are going well. He even wakes up from naps and bed dry!!! I am so happy.

Funny thing, this boy goes more than anyone i know. In one day he will pee like 10 times. I was telling Cory this and his reply is..."Who cares, its in the toilet." True, true. I can not complain!!! So YAY to Braxton for being the smart little boy i know he is!!! That was our third and final goal for Braxton before baby #3 came. No more Crib...check. No more binki...check. No more diapers...check

You've got the wrong idea....

So it seems many of you think that potty training is going swell and i am just fabulous. Well you have the part where i am fabulous right, but as for the potty training...you have it all wrong. Braxton has the BM thing down. He will run to me and tell me when he has to go and that is that. As for the pee, no way. He will not tell me when he has to go. When he sits on the potty for a few minutes he will not go, then minutes later he will pee in his pants. I will ask him if he has to go with the answer no and minutes later he will pee in his pants. He goes a few times in the toilette, but still has 2 accidents a day! I am at my wits end. I have lost my patience several times and have had several crying fits in my room. I am going to give it a little longer and if it does not improve...i will postpone this for a few months!
So don't think that i am so great and that my method is fool-proof for potty training because all is not peaches and roses here at home!

Braxton Potty Training Day 3

Well, by golly he has picked it up and i am so grateful. He is doing so well. At church he had an accident but i forgot to get him and take him to the bathroom. Other than that, he did great. He is starting to tell me when he has to go and all. He even woke up at about 9:30pm and said he had to go potty. Yippee. he is getting the hang of it!!!

# of wet accidents: 2
# of BM accidents: 1 (poor little guy has diarreah and is having a hard time with it)
# of times sat on the potty: 13
# of times went in the potty: 7
# of Braxton breakdowns: 0
# of Mom breakdowns: 0

Progress is being made and i am so glad that this stage is going to be over soon. And it means only one little one in Diapers which is music to my ears!!!

Braxton Potty Training Day 2

Well today was MUCH better than day one. I hope it just keeps getting better. I think he is getting the hang of this which gives me hope. Way more confident than i was yesterday!!!

# of wet accidents: 2:-)
# of BM accidents: 1
# of times sat on the potty: 16
# of times went in the potty: 7:-)
# of Braxton breakdowns: 0
# of Mom breakdowns: 1 (after he just sat on the potty and did a BM and then 5 minutes later wet his pants. So frustrating)

Like i said, way more successful today. I will just keep praying that this continues!!!!

Braxton Potty Training Day 1

Ok, Here we go again. When Braxton was born i was seriously dreading this moment already. But it is now here and we are trying to get the little one potty trained. Day 1 was a real test for me. He is not picking it up quite as quickly as Macade did but, i think in a few days he will get the hang of it...hopefully. Below are some stats of his bowl movements. So if its too much info, discontinue reading!!!

# of wet accidents: 6
# of BM accidents: 0
# of times sat on the potty: 18
# of times went in the potty: 1

Lets just say Day #1 did not go as smoothly as our first child, but i am not giving up. He will get it i think. Time will Tell!!!!

Drumroll Please...

Its A GIRL!

We are very excited to welcome our first daughter into our family. Now i am thinking "oh my heck, i only have 4 months to get ready for this little girl!!!

Braxton's Birthday

Ok, so this happened a month ago. I am slow, what can i say. But now my little guy is 2. He had a great birthday, Waking up to the Birthday blanket and all of his presents (way to many). And a Train cake with ice cream spent with Grandma and Grandpa Ross! It was a wonderful day. He was so cute, everytime we asked who's special day it was he yelled "MINE, I'M TWO"! Too precious!

With the Birthday Blanket (excuse the christmas paper, i did not realize until late the night before that i had no more birthday paper! He's 2, he does not care, Right?!?)

Train Cake. These take so much work. But they turn out so cute i think!
