I'm Thankful For...day 4 (Potty Training)

Today I'm thankful for potty training going well. Rex is doing great! We started again on Monday after having a major Parent Fail! Now we are off and running. He hasn't had an accident with peeing since Monday even in his diaper while at Popa's house. He only had one accident yesterday with pooping in his underwear which was not fun at all but it was more my fault because I decided to take a bath in the middle of the afternoon and not put a diaper back on him. He's doing great with understanding that he needs to go potty and he's holding it longer which is just fantastic! Today we are heading out to a mom's group to go play and I'm not risking underwear in public just yet but I'm going to just stay on top of it and hope that we can get him to go in public too and if so that means he would be almost completely potty trained at 2 1/2! That would be great! Then it would just be night time training which there really isn't anything that you can do to train that part. Just have to wait until their body is ready for it. Either way going from diapers all day (using disposables right now) to just at night would make a huge difference in cost. 



So now it's time for you to share what you are thankful for! Grab the button, write a post, link up, share with everyone what you are so thankful for this month!

Baby Bumpdate: Week 35

35 Weeks! That means only 5 left!!!! Holy cow!!! I think I'm starting to freak out just a little!!! How far along? 35 Weeks! Yea! How big is baby?  He's about 18 inches and just over 5 pounds. Weight gain? I gained a pound last week. Maternity Clothes?  Of course. I'm living in tanks right now because of the heat. Just wish I had more shorts to wear. Stretch Marks?  Nothing new. Just the ones from before and Monkey. Sleep? With this cold I'm not sleeping much. I'm getting a little better and able to sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then at nap time I'm able to get 1 or 2 more hours of sleep. However, I'm still exhausted especially because of the heat. It just drains all my energy. Even when I'm sitting in the shade under a fan. Of course it's only June so I'm not sure how this heat thing will effect me in July :/ Best Moment this Week?  Monkey kissing my belly before he went down for a nap. It was so cute. He ...

Media Monday: How it affects my child

Media is neither good or bad. Last week I talked about media in our marriage and a little bit about our family and media but today is all about Rex and media. Rex loves cartoons! Right now he happens to be watching Veggie Tales while eating lunch. This is not a normal thing at all. I can't remember the last time he was eating while watching TV. Today we had a crazy time and he asked to watch a movie and I didn't have a problem with it. Plus it's Veggie Tales.  We have a limit (during mommy in charge time) that he is only allowed to watch one movie/TV show each day and some days we don't watch anything. When daddy gets home things change and the TV is on within minutes of being home. Rex normally doesn't care that the TV is on because of our daily activities. He plays or helps me cook unless daddy is watching adult cartoons then he is more interested.  This past winter I found us watching more TV than I planned ever to let my children watch. So once it start...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
