Potty Time!

Jake is almost 3 1/2 and should probably be further along in the potty training process than he is. I deliberately wanted to wait a few months after he turned 3 in hopes that I could also work with Kate at the same time (since girls supposedly learn earlier than boys). We have tried to get Jake to use the potty, but have not had success with having him actually go. We have been using a smaller seat that sits on our regular toilet, but tonight at Wal-Mart I bought a small potty. I figured if Jake could watch TV, he would have more patience with sitting longer. When I brought it home, Jake was very excited about it. We gave him a couple of sippy cups and after sitting there for quite some time, Jake stood up and told me that he had gone. I looked and sure enough, he had!! We were so excited. We did a dance, high fived, and gave him a kit-kat as a reward. We really do not want to have 3 kids in diapers and hope to have Jake totally potty trained before baby #3 gets here. Hopefully, Kate will be working on getting there as well. Anyhow, we were very excited about tonight's breakthrough and hope the road ahead is not too difficult.

This is just a fun picture of Jake in our big basket where we keep our throw blankets. He likes to lay in it and pretend to sleep.
And, because a blog entry would not be complete without me showing a recent baking project, here are some mini-cinnamon rolls that I made. I came up with the recipe on my own and they are so good. I have made them twice.
