Potty Training

I was just looking at my blog and can't believe I haven't really posted since the first of the year! I guess we haven't been up to much since we started potty training James 3 weeks ago. Then the much needed rain last week kept us in and we are so glad it is over but now little Jake is sick. Poor baby doesn't have any symptoms but a fever. He woke up every two hours last night! I felt like a new Mom again, wow I am so glad we are out of that stage, let's just say I couldn't get coffee quick enough this morning and I had to take a little snooze today too.
Every month or so since James was about 2 1/2 I tried potty training. HE just was never ready and I knew I had to wait until HE was ready. So about 3 weeks ago I tried again, it was very different this time. He wasn't peeing all over the place, he was holding it. He was holding it a little too long. It was getting a little frustrating, ok majorly frustrating. I knew he had to go and he would sit there and not do anything. We would try this a handful of times before it actually came out. He did so well! The only thing was he wouldn't go #2 in the potty. I don't know what it is with kids and #2 but Brianna was the same way, it took her FOREVER! I bribed him with everything! Finally last week he went, I was SO happy! We went right to the toy store for him to pick out what he wanted! Well I should have waited on the toy because it was a one time deal! Just yesterday though we were out to brunch and he went at the restaurant. THANK GOODNESS!! That would have been a nightmare! I think potty training is the most frustrating thing I have had to do as a parent so far. I am so not looking forward to the next one!
Here is James in his big boy underware and his new train!

Wow the things we get excited about now! Pretty funny that I am posting about this!
