A celebration is in order!!!

Who wants to celebrate with us? The famous "Mad Lady" that we've told so many of you about finally moved out!!! We are so excited. Jete can walk, run, play, throw a ball, and even fall down without us having to worry about her breaking through our floor. Whoever wants to come over and play games, and bring their kids, no worries anymore. :) It was a momentous day as they packed up the Uhaul. Jete watched them load it up practically all day and kept saying, "Mad Lady, moving. YAY!!" Then when they finally drove away, he was standing on the edge of a chair and he stops and looks at me and asks, "Mad Lady gone?" I told him yes and he gets a big smile and jumps off, then stomps across the living room floor. It's hard not to laugh at this little munchkin and how much he understands.





We're also celebrating cuz Jete is wearing big boy undies! We potty trained him last week and i think it's safe to say that he's officially potty trained. Wahoo!!! He did so good. At first he didn't want to have anything to do with his undies, but after a few minutes, he liked them and only asked for a diaper when he needed to go the bathroom. Of course we said no, and by that first night, he already figured out that he can use this potty thing to his advantage. He kept calling us into his room and telling us he needed to go potty. So we'd rush him in and sometimes he'd go a tiny bit, sometimes not at all. He just wanted to get out of bed. Finally after 2 hours of playing this fun game, he went to sleep. I'll tell ya, this kid is too smart for his own good.

By the second day, he had it figured out and knew he wasn't supposed to go in his undies. He was a little too good though. He wouldn't go poop on the potty, and basically after the 5th day of no pooping, laxatives, and one million false alarms, we had to give him an enema. We put a diaper on him for that, and he still wouldn't go in the diaper. He knew he needed to go on the potty, but just kept holding it in. Poor little guy! I think we got him on the right track now though and all is good. Way to go Jete, we are so proud of you!!!

  1. That is so cool! Both reasons to celebrate for sure. But man you guys are pros with the potty training thing! It took me a whole year to fully potty train avery- stinker! Two weeks for ry and aniston and feeling its a pattern- already sure it will be a year with joss!
    and we will take you up on that game night, we had a blast last time!

  2. Yay Jete! Big boy undies are the best! And I'm so glad your Mad Lady moved. You and my sis Jessie should chat about that - I think she has the same problem.

  3. Congrats on PT. That is awesome. Kallie potty trained in like 2 days.
    Cole, well it has been since april and we are still working on it. He is a stinker though, he will go for days even weeks with no accidents, and then he will have a few days where he pees his pants every ten minutes. I have really been getting frustrated with him and am not sure what else to do different. He was great for like 2 months at the first then we moved and he reverted to his old ways. We have not gotten him back to where he was before we moved!! AAAgghh! I absolutely refuse to put him in diapers or pull ups though, so when he has his "days" I wash like 20 pair of undies and he has been known to have pink panties on when things get real bad! Good for you guys though that is sweet.

    Hooray for Mad Lady moving out, AND I think Jete will die when he's older that you put pics of him in undies for the whole free world, but that's what the internet is about right?

  8. Man, two great things to celebrate in one day. Great news! Are you guys moving too? I thought you were, but mabes you're not. I'm kind of confused.

  9. Yay! I hated living in apartments, for that reason solely! Only we were on the bottom floor and the people above us would decide to start cleaning their apartment at midnight(the vacuum) and would be up walking around until 4 am! Drove me crazy. Congrats on the potty training. Isn't it great?

  10. Congrats on the celebrations!! You must tell me your secrets for potty training! I have been trying with Wyatt for the last week and he seems deathly afraid of the toilet! But when I'm not looking he is setting on it!

  11. So funny! Maybe a "Mean Old Man" will move in to replace her?
