Yea Landon!

I have been stressing over the boys and their lack of potty-training. I know, I know...everyone now says don't push kids and they will get it and pushing only delays the process. I have tried a little potty, the normal bathroom, rewards, etc and nothing! I think they aren't potty-trained for two reasons:

1. They really aren't aware of when they have to go. They have never told me they had to go...and they aren't very...um, regular as far as #2 goes. I mean, they go everyday but sometimes they go twice in the am, sometimes once in the am and once in the pm, or sometimes just once either am or pm.

2. My schedule this summer has been so busy and stressful (for me). I pulled them from daycare for the month of May and then they had a babysitter for June and a different babysitter for July and sometimes I was home and most of the time I wasn't. We just didn't have any kind of schedule.

Well, yesterday (Tuesday) I asked Landon if he needed to go potty. He looked at me and said, "sure". I sat him down on his little potty. And he WENT! He was so excited! I thought, well, that was a fluke. A little later he ran up and said he had to go again. And he went then too! A total of four times from 3:00-9:00 yesterday. Today, he has gone 3 times...and he did #2 (which is so gross to be exited about, but we are!!). We are so proud of you Landon!

AwESomE! I totally get being excited about potty training! Even (and especially) #2! I bet his brother will catch on even faster once he sees you all getting excited about Landon... :) WooHoo!
