The Potty Training Zone

Without getting into too much detail the last few months have been difficult for Steven, Justin and I thus the blog hiatus. We apologize for the delay in posts but those of you close enough to know us know what has occurred. Thankfully we are at a point where we can look ahead to the future continue to live each day as a family full of happiness, hope and most importantly love. Justin has been quite the busy little guy this past summer. We had a wonderful vacation to Traverse City, quite a few adventures and of course, he is now the big 3! Soon enough I am hoping to get the photos all uploaded for you to enjoy.....

At this point and time Justin is conquering potty training. Potty training has proven to be quite the journey. As a mom you think sleepless nights, teaching them to walk and talk and socialize are a challenge, well you haven't been to the potty training zone! This has to be one of the most challenging things Steven and I have ever endured. It's a marathon so we need to pace ourselves. Of course, we thought it was going to be a piece of cake but boy did J prove us wrong. He is in complete control of the situation and running the show. It's really starting to click with him and he's doing a good job telling us and keeping his pants dry. We haven't quite prevailed on #2....but hey, like I said, it's a marathon. There is an end in sight, I can feel it! So, for all my mommy friends out there, have some faith....and lots of patience....extra underware and bribery treats/stickers. I've learned to laugh and just enjoy the memories. No use crying over slipped pee ;)
