Potty Training day I

Look who is wearing underwear now... She did so well for her first day. I mean it wasn't easy, we had a really long day and the first part of the day, she would scream and yell EVERYTIME I would put her in the potty and that was every 15 min. After a while, she was totally ok with the whole going to the potty and will get really excited everything she actually peed in the toilet and she did that 5 TIMES during the day. She did have one accident right before bed time, but we had a good talk about not peeing on the carpet and she said " Ok, mammy", so hopefully she actually understood. 

I'll have to admit, this morning after 5 screaming and yelling, I wanted to give up on Genne, glad I DID NOT. I did with Alex, poor guy is terrify of the potty so I will give him some more time to watch Genne, maybe he will think it is not so bad after all...  I am sure, one day he WILL be potty train or his girlfriend will take care of that for me, ha ha ha! First, we started with pull ups but she kept peeing in it and calling them swim diapers, so I decided to put her in underwear and use pull ups for nap time and bedtime... And plus, she would go potty everytime she had her pull ups one but I think it will work for Alex better then Genne, but we will see.

I am so glad Genne did so well, make a small little light coming through the tunnel of potty training. Thank you baby girl for making it easy on this poor mama who doesn't even know what she is doing.

All About Alex

Our little guy is making great progress. He is talking more and repeating a lot of the words we are staying. He had a really hard time the first two days after we moved to our new house but now, he is back to his super happy self. He is spelling out more words and we are working on reading. Hoping he will do well in school this year. Frankly, I am a bit nervous sending him to school but I have to so I will suck it up and do it.

I am so very grateful to have this kiddo as my son. I have learned so much from him and I know that he come to be in our family because we needed him. Every time, I wished he will talk I just remind myself that he is Alex and that is good enough for me and if he decides to never talk like everybody else, I will be ok and he will be ok. I know that he will find happiness in life no matter what!

I am just happy he is progressing little by little. He is learning a whole lot and is better now then a year ago. He is sweet, patient and overall wonderful and wouldn't trade him for any "normal" kid.

 I love you buddy and thank you for all the happy time.
