Potty Training Update: One Month Later

Anne Younger Leave a comment

Exactly one month ago, we began potty training TaterTot. Let me assure you, this has not been an easy task for us.
Today, you can stop by our house for a visit and I can guarantee you that TaterTot will tell you that he is wearing either underwears or boxer briefs.

For the last month, I have to say we have been pretty successful. TaterTot is now going to the bathroom like a big boy all day long. We do experience the occasional accident here and there but really, there are not that many.

We are still using night time Pull-Ups when he sleeps since he does have a hard time controlling his bladder while sleeping but are confident he will begin getting himself out of them over the next month because he wants to be big and wear his boxer briefs to bed like daddy and Zack. He really just wants to be one of the boys.

I have to say that I am mighty impressed with the progress we made and know that things will only continue to get better. TaterTot is also aware that once he is completely out of Pull-Ups and 100% potty trained there is a nice present waiting for him.

Until then, I will continue to enjoy hearing TaterTot get excited when he poops in the potty and not in his pants!!!

I have also enjoyed the extra savings of not having to buy him Pull-Ups every week now and have started investing that money into diapers for Ellie when she arrives!!

Knock Another Thing Off My 40X40 List!

Anne Younger Leave a comment

Last month when I was in California for The Lion King 3D Mom Blogger Event, I had the chance to knock yet another task off of my 40×40 list thanks to my friend Nicole that I graduated from high school with. Nicole currently lives in San Diego however when I posted on Facebook that I would be heading to Los Angeles/Beverly Hills for a few days it just so happened that she would be in town as well.

So, on Friday night after all of my Lion King festivities ended, Nicole and her friend picked me up at the hotel and drove me to the Santa Monica Pier.
I was absolutely amazed with the amount of people not only on the pier, but hanging out on the beach as well. There were kids running around having so much fun that it made me wish my kids could have experienced it with me.

Being at the pier was awesome, but what I did next was truly amazing.
I walked down a flight of stairs, kicked my flip flops off and put my feet in the sand on the beach and made my way down to the water.
And then, that’s when I did it.
I walked into the Pacific Ocean, for the first time in my entire life.
(I apologize for the picture quality, but it was night and was taken with a cell phone.)

Yes.
There I was, standing in the Pacific Ocean with the waves running up behind me, getting my pants wet while I sank further into the sand with each one.
It was truly AMAZING!

I even updated my Facebook while I was standing there! (I also checked in on FourSquare and Tweeted about it!)

5.5 Down – 34.5 more to go and 7 years, 2 months and 15 days left to git er’ done!
Follow my 40X40 and start one of your own!
