shock #1
Today, while i was going to the bathroom, laker opened the door and took his shorts and diaper off and said "Pee pee mommy", so naturally i put him on the toilet. He went 3 times today without question, and actually pooped in the toilet right before bedtime. Everyone has been telling me to wait to potty train him till after the baby comes, but my cute sister-in-law, Tammy, who is a pro at this said just do it anyways. (she should know, she has 5 kids)
shock #2-
Sunday night as Steve and i were putting Laker to be asked me when we were going to move him into the twin bed. Lakers room won't be ready for another week or so, we have to put doors on our office and make that his room until we finish the basement, so his bed has been on the floor in there collecting toys. So what did we do, drag the mattress into his room next to the crib and put him to bed. To our surprise, he only got out of bed once. Steve gave him a pep talk and we never heard another peep. Today i was a little nervous about the new bed at nap time because, for those who know, Laker takes a 3-4 hour nap everyday and i have been dreading this change and the effect it may have on his nap. Well i put him down and the normal time, and he only tired to get out once! I gave him a pep talk, hoping it was as good as Steve's and sent him to bed. He slept till 5:15! Now, for night number 2.......not one pep!!!
I have been dreading these to things because baby "O" will be here in 4-6 weeks and i figured i would deal with it then, but i guess cold turkey works for some kids!
Mrs. Utah Pagent
So Steve and i went to the Mrs. Utah Pagent saturday night because Steve's oldest sister was one of the contestants. She did not win, but she was 2nd runner up!!! Not too shabby and she won the title of best in physical fitness and swim suit. Did i mention that his sister was the oldest contestant and let me tell you ...she rocked it!!! Go Carol , she is the one on the far right.

You go Girl! He is so ready. You'll have him potty trained in no time and sleeping in a bed and then on to baby #2. Hope the book works for you - I got it from Annette. That poopy diaper on the floor looks like it has steam coming out of it (because of the humidifier) - funny!
so you worked the duct tape thing! But great job on doing two big hurdles at once. Pep talks work for the girls too and they haven't never gotten out of their beds yet!
Glad to see things have worked out. A littlt tid bit of info- Aves door knob is turned backwards. She gets 1 warning & then she gets locked in her room. Don't know if that's a red flag for child protective services, but with the small window period of 2 kids napping at the same time, I need the assurance that Ave is not capable of causing any ruccous to the house except behind the safety of her bedroom doors. Just a thought, if it gets to that. Also, packaging tape is easier than duct & it doesn't leave the residue.
