Keaton's Officially a Big Boy!

Well many of you who have kids will appreciate this and those of you who don't well just skip reading this altogether. The topic potty training and I can officially state that Keaton is 100% potty trained. He's been doing great since December but there were accidents and i was needed at every call of nature. Today it hit me.... My son no longer needs me to go potty! If I try and assist I am sent away as he states "Leave mommy, I need my privacy!" He just goes all by himself. I find out after the fact as he shares the wonderful experience with such enthusiasm. We have finally overcome the potty training hurdle. For those who have gone down this road you know and appreciate why this is so exciting and for those of you who have not forge this road as yet, well..... Good luck and just remember to have alot of patience as it's all about them and you can do NOTHING about it. I just hold out hope now that Ryan will want to be like Keaton and pick it up quick. Yeah right! One can only hope. For now I will just be thankful I only have one in diapers.

I also am please to report Keaton is back to being his normal agreeable self. For a while there I was ready to string him by his toes. He was driving me nuts. Testing every limit put in front of him and he was just plain infuriating at times. I guess it had alot to do with all the changes that took place with moving and not having a routine, a home of our own and ect.... We are finally settled and he is now so wonderful to be around again, even without the nap. That nap is now a thing of the past, but he seems to be doing pretty well without it. Some days by 4pm he's a bear but for the most part he's doing well. Thank goodness Ryan is still napping great. I need the two hours to clean up and rest from all the mayhem he has caused around the house. He is quit the go getter.
