Happy serger once again!

See them tiny serger lines? Those make me happy. Can I tell you how much easier making G's underwear is when "my" serger is working?

These are the 4 pair I made this weekend.

And my little model. Thanks buddy. Someday you will hate these blog posts.

And I finished them just in time. I was telling my Fri kids' mom last Friday that I figured G would be 3 and the baby would be here before we had him potty trained. What is that thing my friend Gretchen says?

Oh right!
"Children will always make a liar out of you!"

Saturday morning G was about to poop in his diaper and I asked him if wanted to sit on the potty. He agreed! So we ran to the potty and he did his biz... a few times... and then asked for underwear. Yeah! He has been in them since. And mostly DRY!

Saturday he did great even going out to dinner and staying dry.
Sunday he stayed mostly dry (little bit of relief before we got to the potty) at OMSI.
Monday we went to a Harvest Festival and he had a 'miss' (I don't like the word accident so I try to use 'miss') but overall he held on tight and stayed dry! Yeah.

Today not a single miss!

Now if I could teach him how to get every drop out so we are not on the potty every 30 minutes.
I am so proud. Gotta love parenthood, excited about potty chairs and poop! Oh and happy fixed sergers!

Woo Hoo!

Potty Training... or NOT

When Grayson was tiny, like 3 months I started doing some elimination communication. Which in a nutshell is where you follow your child's physical ques and put them on the potty at the appropriate time to lessen the amount of time they are in a wet diaper. Many people that do this are totally diaper free.

I was not that dedicated. I just wanted to see what it was all about. I got pretty good at it though.

Then we went on vacation when he was 6 months old. I didn't have room for his little potty so I left it and when we came home he refused to sit on the potty and would fuss when I tried.

I continued to ask him and try and sometimes he will and sometimes he won't. Here he is, being compliant.

Something about Oriental Trading Co catalog keeps him entertained enough to keep him on the pot long enough to know if anything is gonna happen. This time, not so much.

He peed this morning though! yay!
I keep reminding myself he won't go to College in a diaper....
