Well, the back burner's getting full, too! That's where the blog, my scrapbooking, my 365 blog, Judson's baby book, organizing my pictures, cleaning my house (Ok, so that one's ALWAYS on the back burner), etc. is right now.
The focus of our house has become one thing since after Christmas:
I've never spent so much time in the bathroom!!!!
We've been through all phases of potty training from being nice to not letting him off the potty until he did something. We've found a happy medium that seems to be kind of working for now! Today (Wednesday), he's only had one accident and that was in the bed. He's even POOPED in the potty which has been our biggest obstacle!
His accident really was an accident, and I really can't say it was his fault. Naptime was a nightmare, so I decided that it must be over. I took off his pull-up, and then he went and got back in bed while I was feeding Judson. By the time I got back in there, he'd fallen asleep. I decided just to listen for him, but then I only heard him when he'd said he was wet.
So, we had a MAJOR breakthrough the other night and actually got a picture:
He was so PROUD...finally! Nothing has worked as far as rewards. He really hadn't even shown any motivation in pleasing us or acting like he wanted us to be proud of him. Finally, though, we saw a glimmer of the other night! He was very excited to flush...who knew! As far as rewards, it seems that the "pee-pee or poo-poo and then _____ can happen!" has worked the best. _____is usually going somewhere, putting your pants back on (he cannot stand to not have his pants on), playing with something, getting something aired up, etc. Even that doesn't work sometimes:)
So other than that, there really hasn't been much else going on in 2010. It's been pretty boring, which is really GOOD!
There has been some more than usual fussiness by Mr. Judson. I think there may be some more teeth about to make an appearance...or he's having a growth spurt. Really, I don't know what's going on, but it should would be nice and help out if he'd just TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG!!!!!
He has started sitting up really well by himself. He's getting a lot of practice since he sits in the hallway outside the bathroom while I'm trying to coax someone to go potty!
So, hopefully, life will get straightened out around here and I can bring the blog back to the front burner! I have so much to post, but so little time:)
See the block spots on the back of that one's ears? Well, they all have that. The zoo keeper we talked to didn't know if that was just the ones from that part of Africa or what, but it's pretty cool! It protects them because the other animals think it's their eyes, so they don't know if it's their front or back they're approaching.
