Apparently the stress of moving wasn't enough for me, because with everything going on we also decided to throw potty training into the mix! I had definitely planned to wait until after the move for this but a couple weeks before we moved, Mason seemed more than ready. One day during his nap he took his dirty diaper off, folded it up and gave it to me. Then he told me" I'm all done with diapers Mommy". Wow okay....I figured that was definitely a sign it was time! We are taking things slowly and just having him wear his "big boy undies" when he is at home but still wear diapers when we go places. He has gone from having a few accidents a day to now only a few accidents a week so we are getting there! I did venture out to Target with him wearing his undies today and he made it accident free! I had told him when we started potty training that he could have a certain drum he had been wanting if he got really good at using the potty. Today I figured he has definitely done enough to earn the drum! He's been playing with it now for about two hours straight and while it is certainly LOUD it is keeping him busy!
He's so proud of himself!
And I couldn't make this post without sharing Connor's exciting news too! He's finally getting a tooth!! I remember telling his dr. at his 4 month appointment that I thought he was getting one any day because of all the teething symptoms and drool. Apparently my timing was little off but now, three months later it is coming through! He's also been doing so much better with naps and sleeping but I will wait until his 7 month post for those details!
Connor is all smiles about his new tooth!
Yay Mason for potty training! Soon you'll have to teach Carter all your tricks! And yay Connor for finally getting that tooth! Carter can't wait to come and play on the new playset soon, too!
