Potty Training

This morning I decided it was finally time to start potty training Jonah. For the past few weeks anytime we use the restroom Jonah is in there sitting on his potty. He wouldn't actually go potty, he just wanted to sit there with us. So I decided to make him sit on his potty today until he went. I have a feeling that once he does it he would want to do it all the time. So I gave him a cup of juice (he had already had two cups of milk) and brought in all his books and we sat there for over an hour. I just knew that the second I let him get up and put his undies back on he would pee everywhere. He finally got tired of reading books so I put his chair in the living room and let him watch Thomas. After a little while he yelled "mommy I did it!" Sure enough he had peed a tiny bit, so I made him sit there for a few more minutes until he had finished. He was so proud of himself and so excited that he peed in his potty. He went all day with one tiny accident, (he started peeing in his underwear but stopped himself and then told me so we put him on the potty and he finished) but didn't pee on the floor or furniture so that was a huge plus. By the end of the day he was telling me when he had to go. I know it is only the first day so who knows how he will do tomorrow, but hopefully today was a good sign.

Three year stats

Jonah had his three year check up last week, he is now 43 pounds and 42 inches tall. He had a great birthday party which I got no pictures of. Hopefully I can get some from someone else. Here are a few pictures from the past couple weeks:



One morning I woke up and Joe told me Jonah was hiding so I went to the family room and I found him getting into the oven in his kitchen. I couldn't believe he actually fit in there.




Just a sweet picture of him sleeping. He looks so peaceful!



And then this is how his is in the morning when he wants mac and cheese for breakfast and mommy won't let him, lol!
