Bribery Works!

After breakfast this morning, Bridger told me poop, so I ran him into the bathroom and he sat on his potty for a good 10 minutes. He did not go and I told him he couldn't have any of the candy in the jar sitting on the counter unless he went PeePee in the toilet. Well we got ready for the day and ran some errands and even went to lunch with Ang. On the way home, about a 1/2 mile from our house Bridger says peepee, so I step on the gas and hurry inside. I take off his pants and diaper and get him all situated on the toilet. Of course I had to let him hold the candy jar and his book. Anyways I go to get my camera just because he was so cute on the little potty. I had not even been back in the bathroom 5 seconds and the toilet plays this triumphant music because Bridger had peed in the potty! Right away he handed me the candy jar and said "canie," I was so excited I gave him 5 m&m's! He was happy, although I think it was because of the candy more than the actual accomplishment, oh well whatever works I guess! So I took a before and after picture! Hey Brian this is one of the only times I would ever take pictures of the toilet and its' contents!

Potty Training....

Jeremy and I decided it was time to potty train Bridger. We bought a potty chair last weekend. I haven't hit it hard yet but am about there maybe this next week. Bridger tells us poop anytime before he goes either pee or poop. I guess when a kid knows when he has to go its time for the training. If I am good, I run him to the toilet when he tells me that and he will go pee in there. Tonight, I was getting ready to change Bridgers diaper but first he told me poop (we are trying to differentiate between poop and pee but for now poop means either) so I let him run without a diaper to the bathroom. For some reason he likes our master bathroom so he ran into our room, I was only a few seconds behind him and right when I ran in he was peeing on the floor in our bedroom. Right away I told him we go in the toilet and boys that cant do that have to go to timeout. What does Bridger do? He goes to timeout naked from the waste down and counts to five. I had to grab my camera and get a picture....Oh by the way, those are his new cowboy boots! He likes to wear those without pants as well.

Just a note

I have had a rough couple of weeks. As many of you know, I miscarried almost 3 weeks ago and have had to have extensive bloodwork done this past week. The dr. called today and said my levels were back to normal and for that I am extremely grateful. I did not realize it had been so long since I posted pictures.
