Potty Training

Can I say how nice it is to not have to buy diapers for Jaxson anymore. I was worried at first that Jax wasn't ready to leave the diapers (more because he still doesn't talk like a 2 yr old), but James was ready for him to be done and in the end Jaxson is doing a spectacular job.

I don't want to jinx ourselves, but this second time around has been alot smoother, calmer, and maybe easier since we went through this with Jordan. One thing we added to our routine was "Potty Prizes"; pieces of candy Jax-Jax gets everytime he goes potty. I think we're also alot more understanding knowing that it will take awhile for him to be completely trained. I think it has also helped having Jordan help out as well-Jordan has become a sort-of cheerleader for his brother, praising him when he goes potty, and even helping him when Mom or Dad are busy/not available. Big Brothers are awesome.

Big brothers are awesome, it makes being a mom a little bit easier, I try to remind myself of that on days like today. I hope potty training second time around will be easier for us too!
