Diaper Free?!?

Could we really be on our way to the end of diapers??  The Easter Bunny brought Joey a package of Spider Man underwear and he was thrilled!!  We told him that he could wear big boy underwear when we got back from our Disney Vacation.

When we got home he went right to his room and brought me the underwear.  We started on Saturday and it went as you would expect.  Lots of laundry and no pee in the potty chair.  Sunday was an open house for selling our house so we had him in pull ups for the afternoon and still no success getting pee in the potty.  Then when it was just Mommy and Joey for the better part of the day on Monday there were a couple successes!!  Once he figured out he got candy every time he used the potty he was tired of changing clothes and taking his pee pants to the washer himself.  In the last 4 days we have only had 2 accidents and one doesn't count because we had a backyard full of kids playing and he just didn't want to come inside and miss anything fun.  The other was a poopy pants today and that usually takes longer to master.

We still put him in diapers at naptime and bedtime, but he has started coming to me to let me know he has to go!!  The next big challenge will be the cross country road trip coming up!!  Then we will have to see how he adjusts to the move.  Could we really be diaper free by summer time??  One can only hope and keep a big supply of potty treats around :)

First Day of School Panic Attack

Okay so most of you know I'm not the emotional mom on the first day of school. Alan started First Grade today and today was DIFFERENT!! I don't know why it was so hard to hold back the tears as the school bus pulled away. I suspect it had something to do with the fact he was riding the bus and I wasn't leaving him in a classroom with a smiling teacher and lots of new friends. Another part of it was knowing he was going to a bare walled classroom with a SUBSTITUTE teacher until they hire a full time teacher for his class. It's a good thing we were early to get to the bus stop. The bus came a full 10 minutes early!! Waiting for the school bus Waiting on the correct side of the street The bus is here!! Joey ran right for the doors trying to get on the bus and was quite upset he didn't get to ride.  He kept saying "I go school, I go school" This is a picture of the school taken from our driveway!

Dreaming of a White Christmas

While a "White" Christmas is something many dream of, I'm pretty confident in saying I dream and pray that this will be my LAST white Christmas!! It's funny how the only things about snow that "stick" in your memory are the snowball fights, snowman building, sledding and FUN!!! Daniel and I decided the boys would really enjoy seeing snow for the first time this year. So we packed up our mini van turned into a sleigh and then hit the highway our destination was 2 days away. Over the highways and byways we glide to grandmother's house we drive. With turn right or turn left we trust GPS to get us there alive. It turns out we have very bad trip coordination with mother nature. She seemed to think this weekend was the perfect time for a blizzard/white out to visit the mid-west. This didn't quite sync with our driving plans. The further north we drove the talk of snow increased until it was finally falling and hitting our windshield. I warned them o...
