My big boy is POTTY TRAINED!!!

FINALLY! My time off was put to good use! Just kidding....don't ask me how I did it, don't ask me for any advice or suggestions when you're potty training, because I won't be able to help.

I have been putting Bryce in underwear for about the past 3 months when we're just hanging out around the house. I would TRY to make him go sit on the potty atleast once an hour. Nothing ever happened. He always went in his underwear and DIDN'T CARE! I always heard from other parents that this method would work because kids don't like the wet feeling. Not Bryce. He wouldn't flinch.

Chris and I were in Bryce's room one morning after he just woke up, and I had his underwear out about to put it on. I said to Chris, "I don't know why I'm stressing myself out by putting these on him, it's like beating my head against the wall." I was frustrated because we had NO PROGRESS at all....well, maybe a couple of times. But I want you know, on that day, my son took off his underwear and walked into the bathroom ON HIS OWN, and sat on the potty ON HIS OWN, and went! He's been doing that ever since! It's like he woke up that morning and decided he was going to pee in the potty. I'm a very proud mom, so if you ever ask me for advice, my advice would be....don't worry yourself over it, because they will do it when THEY are ready!

Well, I took a hiatus

I needed a break from computer/blogging time so that I could get all of my Christmas preparations done. I started shopping the day after Thanksgiving, and just officially finished up my gift cards yesterday. I did learn that the earlier I shop, the more I end up buying! I forgot about some things that I bought, and just realized yesterday that I have Chris 2 of the same gifts! It will be a big Christmas for Bryce this year. He's super excited about all of the presents under the tree, and Santa Claus! We're going out to a cabin to spend time with my family this weekend from Friday until Monday. Hopefully it will be fun! I really want some cooler weather for Christmas! 72 degrees yesterday did NOT put me in the Christmas mood....
