Bottles and Potty Training

Tony has been working with Josh on holding his own bottle. I think that he is way too young and that it isn't that big of deal, but Tony likes to do it. He got him to hold it once during a feeding with lots of Tony's help, but it sure was cute. Tony was a very proud papa when it happened. He is so funny about stuff like that.

We got to enjoy an extra long weekend with us all at home. It was nice just hanging out with Tony home and doing some light shopping. Tony has an extra busy week this week so that has kind of sucked. He has to work Friday and Saturday too, so I am not too happy about that. But it might only be a couple hours each day, so that isn't that bad. Plus we could really use the extra money right now.

Tyler has been an extra big pill lately. He is really struggling to listen to me when I tell him what to do and he loves to drive me nuts. We tried to potty train him a little on Saturday, but it turned out to be a bust and we saw just how stubborn Tyler can be. I guess I should probably do a little bit more research about potty training and what might work best for us. If anyone has any tips, hint, or suggestions about potty training my ears are wide open for help!

Its amazing how different each child is. Dylan was so hard for me his first 5 years that I didn't even try potty training him until he was nearly 4. Even then he fought me for 2 months until one day he suddenly chose to do it, and after that he rarely had an accident. Two months later I potty trained Jayden, who was barely two, but he was ready. Just remember it will happen eventually. Don't get too frustrated. And expect it to be hard and not much fun so you don't have too high of expectations.

My sister in law has an awesome method that I used with Jayden, and I plan to use with Ethan when we start in the next few weeks. Give me a call or email me if you're interested.
