Potty training. Two words that have terrified me since the minute Nicholas was born. It's been looming over my head for such a long time now but I'm relieved to say that I think we're almost there. It's been just under a month that we've really been hitting it hard, and it was slow going in the beginning, but during this past week it really seemed to sink in with him. They say you're supposed to really celebrate every time he's successful, and celebrating it has been. I just can't help myself when that beaming, prideful smile of his springs up on his face when he realizes he did it! We've been using a bag full of little green army men and some of Daddy's old Star Wars toys as rewards and they've been working beautifully. I know every kid does this eventually, and he's obviously not the first, but I am just so incredibly proud of him for this major accomplishment. Way to go Nicholas!!!
Now I certainly couldn't include any pottying pictures (unless I wanted to seal my
fate as a truly hated mother a decade or two down the road) so I thought I'd share this
super cute video I took of him the other night instead. He started doing this snoring
impression a few days ago and it makes me laugh every single time I hear it!! We had just
pulled into the garage when I took it so please forgive the darkness.
He learned that snoring trick from Aunt Jewee!
