We Made IT!!!!!

Well, I think I can say I have one potty trained!!! YEAH!!!! Thanks MOM for your help! Caleb lived in his PJ's this week as we potty trained so that his pants would be easy to get up and down. Not sure how we will do things with a belt considering all his pants require a belt because he has the smallest waist for his age. I guess that is just another thing I need to teach him, how to get his belt undone, pants down, sit on the potty, point his pee pee down all the while holding his tee tee so he does not have an accident. We have only had one accident all week, and I thought he was not ready . . . .
I can say I get a little scared when I leave the house. He is not one that wants to try just to make sure before we leave so I keep a cup in my car just in case. Not sure what I will do if I am driving and he says he has to go, hopefully he will just hold it. The joys of parenting!!!
Parker has been the trouper through it all!! Now when he hears Caleb say "gotta go, gotta go" he takes off to the bathroom like he is the one who has to go and sits there and waits to see if Caleb goes! He is cheering his brother on to victory!
Eric made it back from his LONG trip! Must have been the longest week ever for both of us for different reasons. For him because he was in training all week going none stop from morning till night and for me because I had no husband to walk through the door in the evenings around 6 to get excited about and to tell me I was doing a good job through all the frustrating moments! I managed to keep myself busy (of course not counting how busy I am all day with two children and one learning to go potty and one learning to walk) but a friend came over and cooked me the MOST fattening dinner Tuesday night after mom left and then I had another friend over Wed. night and another over Thursday night!! I love my friends!! Plus Eric's parents came over and helped out with the kids so I could get a couple things done around here so with all that, we made it through the week! I am just glad to have my husband back and the boys were glad to get some MUCH needed daddy time!!! I became chopped liver to them once he was home, which was okay, I did not take it personally! Even little Parker really wanted his daddy!!!
Well my faithful blog readers I guess that about sums it up for today!! Until next time . . . thanks for reading!!
