Tough Mom

I am going to try to be a tough mom. Gavin keeps taking his diaper off so I decided now would be a good time to potty train. I started this afternoon and he has had two successes the first time I didn’t know he went he just got excited and showed me the potty. The second time I saw him he had a little accident but finished on the potty. I got all excited and he got a popsicle the first time and a treat the second time. After he went, he was so excited just keep saying, “went on the potty, moms happy”. The method is a little weird so I will wait to tell you how I did it until he is more successful.

The other thing I have decided to be tough with is Brody, I have decided to take away Brody’s pacifiers. He is sleeping so good at night and I don’t want him to get used to needing the pacifier to go to sleep. I don’t want to have to get up at night to put the pacifier back in so I decided to get rid of it before he gets to that point. I sure hope it doesn’t take very long. Last nap took him an hour of crying to fall asleep. Last night Brody sleep from 8:30-5:45 it makes me so excited to hear him cry and realize he sleep all night.

Wish me luck!!

GOod job on being tough. I wish I was, especially with the binky thing. I'm ready to burn all of Kaleb's seriously! They are so gross! Always falling on the floor and who knows where. I hope Gavin is good about potty training too! Good luck.

that is great that is doing a good job in just one day! With Brody and the binki you will be so glad that you did it now and didn't wait! the first couple days are the hardest but he will get used to it! I finally got rid of Remi's bottles it really wasn't a big deal for her I was hoping it wouldn't be!
