Conference & Potty Party!

Ok, well it wasn't exactly a party, but we did have a really nice weekend. I am oh so happy to report that Davin is a potty training wunderkind! He woke up and found his potty seat and underwear in the den. He immediately put on a pair of underwear, which he promptly peed in. Whoops. We cleaned him up and sat him on the potty then put on clean undies and hoped for success. About 40 minutes later he peed on the carpet in the den. I was standing right there when it happened and he said "I'm peeing!" So I grabbed him and put him on the tile in the kitchen. I kind of freaked him out and he was trying not to cry while I cleaned him up. Poor kid. I hugged him and we tried again. I think that second accident helped him make the connection of what it feels like to have to go because about 10 minutes later he said he had to go to the potty, so we went and sat and he peed in the potty!!! Success! We cheered and did a little dance and gave him 4 M&M's. :)

After that he was at the computer and pooped in his underwear. That is the worst. Lucky for me, I was nursing Talia so I didn't have to do the icky clean up. Thanks Ian! While I was making lunch Davin said he had to go potty, so I went and put him on the potty and waited. Nothing. I said "OK, Dav, are you done trying?" He said no, but I had a quesadilla on the stove, so I just let him sit there. A few minutes later Ian went in to check on him and tried to get him down, but he said NO! Finally lunch was ready and Davin still hadn't come out of the bathroom. I went in there and said, "It's time for lunch. Let's get you down." I went to pull him off the potty and saw that he had pooped in it! Wahoo!!! That was by far the biggest hurdle with Weston, so I was beyond excited that Davin did it on the first day. We put him in a pull up for nap time, but he woke up dry and peed in the potty again. No accidents for the rest of the day.

Sunday we woke up to this:
After our Spring weather on Thursday and Friday I was a little bummed out. The only reason I wasn't too upset was because I knew I didn't have to go anywhere. Davin wore his underwear all day (except nap time) and only had one accident. He woke up dry from his nap and pooped in the potty too. I am so excited because potty training Davin has been so easy! I don't know if Weston was harder because I'd never done it before or if it was because he wasn't really ready when we tried, but whatever the reason, I am glad that our weekend of potty training paid off. I'm sure Davin will still have accidents in the next few weeks, but the hardest part is over.

We truly enjoyed being able to relax and listen to General Conference. There were so many fantastic talks. I can't wait for them to come in my Ensign so I can re-read them since I have already forgotten a lot of what was said. I made yummy breakfasts both days. We had souffle and cinnamon rolls on Saturday morning and pancakes and bacon on Sunday morning. Weston and I played Conference Bingo. Weston was actually really good at it and listened like a big kid. :) I only fell asleep for about 20 minutes during the Sunday afternoon session, and I thought that was pretty good considering Talia has been waking me up twice every night lately. Good thing she's cute!
This morning I took Davin and Talia to baby story time at the library while Weston was at school. We hadn't been in forever. I put Davin in a pull up for the outing, but about 5 minutes into story time he said he had to go potty. When he saw the big toilet in the bathroom he said "Not on dat. On dere!" pointing to the changing table. I said that he wasn't wearing a diaper and that I would hold onto him. I got him situated and he totally peed in the big toilet! What a big boy. He was super excited to get to flush the public toilet. Gross, I know, but usually whenever we go to the bathroom while we are out I always tell him not to touch the potty, so he was excited when I told him to go ahead and flush. :)

Anyway, it was a good, relaxing weekend. I was sad to see it end. This week looks like icky weather (the snow hasn't melted and more is forecasted). Plus Ian is going out of town for a client meeting on Wednesday and Thursday, so that will make our week longer and less fun too. I am trying to have a good attitude about it, but it looks a little bleak. Luckily I got a new book from the library and a couple movies to keep us busy, but if anyone wants to do a playdate let me know!

PS-Did anyone catch the goofball at the end of the Sunday afternoon session of Conference? Check these out!
