So, Friday February 6, 2008, I was on my way out the door when Hayden approached me with a waddle. "Mommy, I am poopy." I knew it wasn't good when 1. he is waddling like a penguin 2. he told me that he is poopy. My mother-in-law was over, so she started guiding Hayden in the bathroom while I grabbed another diaper. I pick up a piece of lint and then another piece of "lint" and realized...not a piece of lint...poop! There was a trail of it. Ronnie cleaned that up while I got Hayden's pants off and cleaned him up. Just before the shower, Hayden told us he had to pee. So, I decided to offer him the potty, since I didn't grab a diaper due to the poop all over and he still needed to hop in the shower. So, I set Hayden on the potty and he resisted, as usual, and then I held him. I told him I am here and settled him down. Then he peed in the potty, so exciting!!!!!!! Everyone in the house celebrated! The look on Hayden's face made me cry. He was so proud. I hope I see that face more and more with everything he encounters in life!
Since then and especially since mid-week or so, Hayden is potty trained! It is amazing! Friday the 13th (whoo-oooh), we took him with us to a work dinner for Ronnie and Hayden told me that he had to go potty. He even went on a public toilet! Even at home prefers the big potty. I have to help him, but I am so relieved! 3 years and 1 month old and potty trained! For now anyway.....
We'll have to work on night time and nap at a later date, however, he has been dry after nap for the last three days! We'll keep our fingers crossed :)
The beginning of last week, I was trying to get Hayden to go potty before bed and he rejected. I continued and Wyatt ran into the bathroom. I began to yell to Wyatt not to play in the bathroom and Ronnie ran to attend. Wyatt wanted to go on the potty. Ronnie stripped him down and Wyatt went pee. I couldn't believe it! Actually, a couple days prior to that, Ronnie got Wyatt on the potty (by the way, Wyatt sits all the time and didn't go before recently) and Wyatt was shaking trying to push the pee out and managed a few drops. It was humorous to say the least. I am so proud of my boys and the more they grow the more I am in AHHH of them. If I can get a two for one deal in the potty training business, that would be AWESOME, but I am NOT counting my chicks before they hatch!

25 Thing About Me
1. I don't like taking medications, even if I have a headache, I will try other remedies.
2. I am SO indecisive! It is horrible! But I always stand and commit to my decision once I've made it. If I know something I want, I can be impulsive.
3. I can be conservative and traditional, but I am a hippie at heart.
4. I love Entertainment News! I watch E! often and buy People magizine more than I should.
5. I love TV, but try to watch in intervals, so I don't turn into a couch potato.
6. Further that...I watch most of my shows online, since I watch show that sometimes are not appropriate.
7. I can't stick my tongue out...serious. It is my husband's favorite trick to show people. My tongue is short, but my hubby never complains :)
8. I can barely whistle. More air comes out than noise.
9. I love sushi! Love it and could eat it all the time!!!
10. I love taking showers with my boys. They find it calming to hear the water and we sing, "it's raining, it's pouring..."
11. I have never skiied or snowboarded, but I love sledding with my boys and used go all the time growing up.
12. My husband and I LOVE to entertain and be with friends and family.
13. I have my BS (bachleor of science) teaching degree in K-8 with a specialty in social studies, but I haven't decided if I will use my degree to teach.
14. I love to make invites for events, because I feel that they are personal.
15. I check my sign (gemini) everyday for fun on my yahoo personal page.
16. I prefer to drink black instead of coffee, but seem to be in habit to drink coffee.
17. If I won the lottery, I would travel, travel and travel. I would show my children the world.
18. I love wine! I went from being a martini gal to a wino. I love the variety of taste and you rarely get a drink you can't stand.
19. I hated country music until I started hanging out with Tina Handt (then Johnson) and I changed my tune. So, about 10 years ago?!
20. I like to keep busy because I don't know what to do with myself when there is nothing to do. I have always been that way. I hate to waste time.
21. I took french from junior high through high school, but I learned more in a single semester in college. Still not completely fluent though.
22. I love my house, but have dreams of remodeling. When is money going to grow on trees?
23. I love walking around Como Lake (when it is nice out)
24. I have lived in Saint Paul all my life, and would love to raise my children here, but find myself pondering relocating for a year or two.
25. My husband and I have been together for almost 13 years and I have learned so much from him and being with him.
