Our anniversary and potty training Peanut

   Where to begin again? Well my husband and I had a wonderful anniversary, we celebrated by going out to dinner ALONE! That doesn't happen too often and it was so nice to sit and be waited on and not hear mommy mommy mommy and daddy daddy daddy the whole way through dinner lol. Then we came home picked up Peanut from our friend's house next door, put him to bed and watched a movie together. My wonderful husband got me a beautiful card, a dozen long stem purple roses and yes he got me the Coach handbag I wanted. (I didn't think he would actually get it for me, I was as excited as a little kid getting a toy I had been wanting for years lol) He liked his gifts too. I replaced the bottle of Cologne Peanut had broken last month and even upgraded it to the gift set, then I decided to do something different this year and I had a good friend of mine who has been getting into photography take some pictures of me in a Steelers jersey and holding a football, then I put one in a Steelers frame for him and the rest on a disk to be printed out later. My husband is a HUGE Steelers fan and has managed to transform me into one too (although I will never admit this to my father who is a life long Browns fan) Anyways my husband really seemed to like the pictures so I guess I did good.

   So Peanut went pee pee in the potty again last weekend. Potty training him has been a little harder than it was with the first two boys and I thought I would be a pro at this by now but apparently it's not up to me lol. We've tried doing something a little different now. When he goes potty in his potty chair we give him a potty prize (I actually got this idea from a friend of mine who did this with her son and it worked for her so I figured why not) It's nothing big or expensive just a little hot wheels car or something small like that but hopefully it is enough to bribe him back to that potty chair. When we first got his potty chair he was so excited he sat on it all the time, he didn't really do much but he tried, now here lately he wants nothing to do with it at all so hopefully this prize idea works, although we may have to resort to stickers or something cheaper like that when he begins to use the potty more frequently. If anyone has any other advice to help with potty training please feel free to comment and let me know, it doesn't matter how many kids I have I am always open to advice. 

Well that is all I have for tonight, so until next time, I hope everyone has a great day and something to smile about.
