One kid in diapers!!

Last week I decided that I was done changing a certain toddler's diapers.  I had talked to a friend who potty trained her boys with this 3 day method at 28 months and 23 months.  John Paul trained himself around 25 months and after trying some not so successful methods with Madeleine, she basically trained herself at 33 months.  So this was kind of new for me.  Basically you switch the kid to big boy underwear and tell him we are done with diapers.  Watch him like a hawk for 3 days and run him to the potty whenever he starts going, then give him a snack.  Sounds simple enough, right?  I started on Tuesday last week, hoping he would be good for John Paul's party on Sunday.  Well, for the first several days he was TERRIFIED of actually going on the potty.  Not sitting, just going.  He would scream and cry and throw a big fit every time while I tried to calm him down.  Ken thought I was traumatizing him but I thought that if I could help him get over this fear, he would have it down.  So on Friday and Saturday he seemed to be doing better with the fear.  Sunday was JPs party and since he REFUSES to go when I want him to, we had to just stick him in the car and hope for the best.  I stuck the potty seat in the van.  When we got to the playground, he saw it and wanted to go play right away and went in his pants as soon as he started playing. He hated it.  I changed him and cleaned him up, and  he hasn't had an accident since!  He is in undies full time (except at night) and I am loving it!!!  So proud of him!

Birthday boy!!

I'm loving my camera. I probably take between 100-200 photos a day ;)
Here are some of my recent favorites.
Any tips?

So far so good!

4 months

And it's baby boot camp time. Something has gotta give with these sleeping habits. As of today the cradle and cosleeper are gone and the crib is in our room! We are going to attempt to have her sleep there for naps and night. My back is killing me from sleeping on 6 inches of bed space with a giant baby attached to me all night.
Took a few 4 months pics, wasn't totally happy with any of them. Leo was crawling all over me while I was shooting ;)
