Potty Training and more....

Well, it has been a while since my last entry. Since then we got a new camera. I absolutely love it. It is fast and takes great pictures. I will post some very soon. (I promise). We are all doing well. (Well sort of....I am sick with a cold as I write this, and so is Jeff...but the boys are well). Since the last post, Drew has had a bout with acid reflux. He was getting up every night around 2 am throwing up. We finally put him on baby Prevacid and he is doing well. We have had no more issues since then. I am praying that he grows out of this, because I really don't want to have him on this long term. Drew is talking more and more. He absolutely loves his big brother and trys to do everything Matt does. This sometimes doesn't work out so well, but it is very sweet.

As for Matt....well the big news is the potty training. We did a 3-day potty training method. It took a week...not three days, and he still has trouble at school, but yesterday was our first day of no accidents. He told us every time he had to go. We even went to a birthday party and he still stayed accident free. I am so proud of him. He amazingly never has had any nighttime accidents. He even work up one morning at 5:30 am and we took him to the potty and he went right back to sleep. He didn't do too well at school the one day he went last week, but that is different. That might take a bit longer, but we are now on the second day of no accidents. I feel like one of those factories that have those signs..."We've been accident free for 2 days." I am just so proud of him. He is such a big boy now. He is talking more and more and has long conversations with you. He can be so sweet to Drew one moment, giving him hugs and kisses, and then the next moment he body slams him. Gotta love brothers. Also, Matthew got his school pictures done. You can view them by going to www.images4kids.com (Access code: 7MU3-02 Password: 022535 and you can leave the email field blank). We are doing the ordering, but I thought some of you might want to get a sneak peek. They are crazy cute!!

As for Jeff and me, we are doing well. (other than being sick). Jeff enjoys his job and I enjoy mine....most of the time. The potty training was a bit hard on me...staying home for a week working on the training. I got a bit stir crazy. But things are getting a bit more normal now that Matt is really getting the hang of this potty business. We have a bunch of stuff coming up...my parents' birthday this Wednesday, Thanksgiving next week, and going to Arkansas soon after that. I still can't believe the holidays are upon us. Crazy how time flies. I promise to get some pics up on the website, on facebook, and on snapfish very soon. Praying you are all doing well.

Love from Frisco!
