Friday? Already?

How is it Friday already?
Where has this week gone?
Remember how I said I was going to do a cleanse this week and get back on track...
Monday, I had every intention to do that.
Woke up and went to the gym, had a great work out and I felt great!
Tuesday, I woke up to snow.
Snow.
Snow.
Snow, snow everywhere.
It continued to snow all day.
Wednesday as well.
I drive a SUV, a mommy car with out four wheel drive.
I am also from Texas, and we freak out if it gets below 30 degrees outside.
We don't have mountains in the town I am from, and I don't have to salt my walk way in the town I am from. With that, no way I was getting myself of my sweet toddler out in it, especially since they are actually closing schools down.
If the pros don't want to drive in it, this momma sure isn't!

So Thursday, I decided I should start potty training Owen.
Prior to me actually deciding on a date and doing it, we went shopping, Owen got to pick out his big boy undies, candy, and we bought some books about going potty.
I read about how to potty train without discouraging your young one and I have been trying to prepare for this for a good month on my own.
Austin and I have both been talking to Owen about being mommy and daddy's big boy now, and wearing big boy undies..we tell him Iron Man wears big boy undies and I sing to him about going poop in the potty.
So Thursday, I woke up changed his diaper and told him diapers are going bye-bye, and when he goes potty he gets candy.
I also felt that if he got rewarded with a piece of candy then clearly I should too.
Thursday-Monday we have our days at home.
Blocked off the house and we are staying in the kitchen and living room with his potty.
I talked to a friend about her tricks that she does as well to get some helpful tips from someone who has potty trained.
We limited Owens juice and milk yesterday, and stuck with water.
I brought down all his undies, and we set on the potty every thirty minutes.
Nap time, I put these plastic underwear on him so that if he peed, he would feel that he peed but it wouldn't make a mess, luckily he was dry after nap time.
He peed in his potty five times yesterday and I couldn't have been prouder!
Six o'clock I cut him off fluids because he goes to bed about 7:30.
He went potty before bed, and I put the plastics on him and prayed for him to be dry!
Woke up at 7:30 this morning.....to DRY undies!
WOOOOHOOOOOO!!
Put him on the potty, bam bam thank you ma'am he went pee!

Hopefully day 2 of potty training will go as well as day one did!
I mean a mom can dream can't she?
Next week we will venture out to get Owen a big boy bed....
Then I will be in denial that my sweet boy is getting bigger, and my uterus will probably be on fire for another baby.
It's only natural...
