Potty Training Boot Camp

A little update about what is going on around here.
Something that happened this last week...
Wednesday night after church Little Michael said the cutest thing. We were driving home and he was showing me the coloring page he did of Baby Moses and he said "Mommy, I Like Jesus!!!" Oh man I teared up. So I told him, "That's good Babe because Jesus loves you too." He giggled and said, "yeah". That made my week.

MICHAEL IS POTTY TRAINED!!! WHEW HEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry got a little excited there. So in the last 3 weeks there have been some changes around here. So I decided after Michael's 3rd birthday that I was going to do some potty training boot camp. He was showing some interest but only once in awhile. So after the 1st his daddy went out of town for a week for work so I figured that would be a great time to do it. So keeping a long story short the hubby was out of town working 2 weeks out of the last 3 so I told Little Michael no more diapers except for during church or at night when he was sleeping. After a few accidents (thank goodness for hardwood floors and no carpet in this house) and a few days of just about being so frustrated I wanted to give up and let him wear diapers...we are potty trained. It has been almost a week with no accidents and waking up in the morning with even dry diapers. No more diapers at church and during naps, and we are in night time shorts during the night and still waking up dry. This was definitely a prayer that was answered quicker than I expected. We are so proud of him and he is proud of himself, it's so cool to see him all excited and proud of himself when he gets rewards for no accidents.

I have started volunteering at the church front desk once a week. I really like it. Classes are almost over during the week and we are all looking forward to getting outside this summer. It has been pretty nice the last few days but it will be even better when all the snow is gone and the back yard isn't a wet yucky mess. Michael got to ride one of the motorcycles the last couple days so he is happy and can't wait for the summer.
We hope everyone else is finally getting some good weather too.
Love ya.
