A Johnson Jabber: Once Upon a Potty

So we are in full potty training mode at our house. I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have to see the light because I have decided that I just bought my last box of diapers for him come hell or high water. He is actually doing pretty good. We are using the reward system (jelly beans and M&M's) and it seems to be working for now. I assuming this with be a "two steps forward, one step back" process and I ok with that. The other day he told me twice that he need to go pee and he did both times in the big potty! He is getting pretty good and is getting to the point where he doesn't want to wear a diaper. He says "I'm a big boy mommy, no change me". That's fine as long as we are in the house, but he doesn't want to wear one outside or when we go out which is a problem. I finally had to tell him that if he didn't cover up the police was going to put him in jail for indescent exposure. Yes, sometimes I parent with fear... no judging.

He is a lot better with C lee. Now, he trys to comfort him when he cries and the other day I caught him actually trying to play with him. Of course this melted my heart. C lee loves just watching B and will track him with his eyes and then kick around when he gets closer. So cute.

C is the most adorable boy. How did I make such cute kids? He is such a snuggle bug. Every morning when I am not working I bring him into bed with me to nurse and I swear the two of us would stay asleep until 8 am. Too bad Mike has to get up with B man at 6:30 in the morning. Not my fault I have the boobs, I am "nursing" from 630-8. He has laughed for Mike now a few times. I can't seem to get him to go there with me. At least I saw one of his first laughs. He does smile an awful lot. He plays by himself in his crib the mornings I go to work and when Mike walks him to get him he just starts smiling and gets all excited to start the day. For the most part he is sleeping through the night. I nurse him at about 4 am and then we "nurse" from 630 to 8 am. He is also cooing and making this gurgling noise a lot too. Sometimes he gets really loud as if to say "Guys, I am over here. Don't forget about me!". I just love him so much! I want another one. I went back and read what B man was up to at this same stage and I said the same thing about wanting another one. I think B had better head control at this stage but I am not going to compare. lol.
