Days 3, 4, and 5

Sorry I skipped the updates, we went home to Hobart for the weekend!!

Day 3- Friday
He woke up wet, but we had gone out to eat with my mom and step dad and he got drink a little later than I would have liked! But we had a great day, minus pooping in his undies. We had to drive to Hobart which is a hour and half drive. We stopped in Yukon to get gas and something to eat, we let him go potty there, and got on the road. About a two miles before Hinton he said he had to potty,and we didn't want to pull over on the side of the interstate. Well he was holding it in and he leaked a little. We finally got stopped he peed some, and off we went. We had to stop in Weatherford to pick up Jamie, he peed there. We took off and got just outside of Cordell and he had to pee again. So he peed on his first dirt road! We got to Hobart with a little tiny accident., not to bad in my mind!!

Day 4-Saturday
He woke up DRY!! WTG Laner's! We had to get up and around to go to the family reunion over at the lake! He did so good! No accidents til we went to my grandparents house and he pooped in his undies! UGH!!

Day 5- Sunday
He woke up wet, but yet again he had to much to drink close to bedtime! He did GREAT all day! Playing with all of the cousins, he didn't have any accidents. Got back to my parents house, and he was playing. JJ asked him if he needed to poop, he of course said now. About 5 mins later he said "Daddy I have to pee"..Well he got in there and pooped in the potty!! Yea, Lane!! Then we had to head home. We stopped in Clinton, he went potty. Then stopped in Yukon to blow some time(we were meeting Kazi and Chris for dinner) he went potty. Got to Texas Roadhouse, went potty. Then we were eating and I asked him if he needed to potty, he said no. Well he was holding it in b/c he was talking to Alexus. He leaked a little then too. Got home went potty and he woke up dry this morning!!

All in all not to bad!! Proud of my little man. Now if we could master the pooping in the potty, we would have it made

Day 2

So Lane did GREAT last night! He got nothing to drink after 8 last night, he went potty at 8:30 and was in bed by 9! That in it's self is an accomplishment!! He went to bed with undies on with a pull up on over them, so if he had a accident it wasn't all over the bed. He woke up at 730 this morning and he was completely dry!! YIPPPPEEEE!! He had school today, so I had to send him in pullups, he had two accidents but went potty several times!! So we are making progress. Since we have been home(since 3) he has been dry (minus the poopie that he did right when we got home).

UPDATE:
We went to dinner with my Mom and Step dad, and we wore big boy undies!! He went potty before we left the house, we we got to Texas Roadhouse, off and on through the dinner, and before we left! He stayed dry the whole time.

The Potty Training Chronicles

So I want to go from this



To this


So today, we have been working on it! We have been in undies since 9 am and have had two accidents. Granted it's only noon so I am sure there is more to come! Wish me luck!



AFTERNOON UPDATE: So we have had 2 more accidents! However he has been running around without pants, and he seems to be doing better!! He is napping now so I guess we shall see when we wake up

HOT! HOT!! HOT!!!

The title says it all!! We are in a massive heat wave! We have had 40 days over 100 degrees! We haven't had a good rain in so long! We are in a major drought! We had hardly any water pressure, you can't really enjoy a pool b/c it feels like bathwater! There appears to be no end in sight!! So when I am kinda of grump this is the reason why! We have been 100 to 110 degrees!

This was last month, after my car had been outside! So this is a little high!


This was today! This is pretty close to what it was!! We actually reached 109.5 today!!!


So when I start griping about having this stuff show me this blog post to remind me that I would rather be snowed in that sweating to no end!

Going by so fast!!

Yes, I realize that it's been a while since I last posted!! Time has gotten away from me! It seems like I was just talking about going on vacation, and now I am wanting to go back on vacation! This summer has flown by! It's crazy, that I had to buy MDO school supplies for Lane. He starts his fall semester Aug 23rd. He is growing up so fast!! I look at him now and see such a big boy!

We are in the potty training stage now!! Lord help me!! Lane is a very stubborn kiddo, and when he decides to not go potty we usually fight all day!! Usually one of us ends up in tears, now which one is always in question! However I think he is getting the hang of it! He is in Hobart right now visiting Nonna and Pops! So we shall see how well he does once he gets home!

God is Big Enough

We were in Hobart this weekend and were visiting my childhood church! Being there brought back so great memories! That is where I was baptized and married! This was the first time Lane has been to church there, and he did so well! My baby is growing up and before long he will be sitting with friends instead of me!

So anyways on to the sermon! God is Big Enough!! I needed to hear that! I have been feeling a little empty lately(in my relationship with Christ) and I have been carrying stress. I know that the Lord is there to carry me when I can't walk, and all I have to do is ask. But being a Mom, I seem to take it all on and just keep it all inside! Today's sermon was exactly what I needed to hear. No matter the problem God is big enough to handle it all. When you feel like the world is crashing down, just look to the Lord and he is there to pick it all up! With all that we have been through to get in our journey to have Lane, I knew this and put it all in the Lords hands! But for some reason lately I haven't done that!

So if you hear me whining or crying about something, just remind me of this!! God is Big Enough, so let him carry me through the rough water. For he is never leaving me and is always holding my hand.

Conversations with a 2 year old

So Lane and I are in the car lot during the week and during that time we have some great conversations!! However the best one is the one we had yesterday on the way to the Zoo..

Lane: "Mommy, where is Daddy?"
Me: "Daddy had to go to work, so he isn't coming to the Zoo with us"
LT: "I have to go to work too"
Me: "Really! Where do you work?"
LT: "Mommy, I work on computers(pronounced Compooters)"
Me: "Oh, and do you make a lot of money working on computers"
LT: "Yes I make LOTS of money mommy"

I just about died laughing! It's a little sad that he knows what money is!!

Most of the time our conversations are silly, but this time he sounded like a big boy. I had to turn around and make sure that I had the right kid in the backseat. It got me to thinking about how fast the past 2 years has gone, I mean in 2 years he will be starting Pre-K. I can only imagine what our conversations will be like them!! Before to long it will be girls and sports, oh man!! Can't he stay 2 forever! It's a fun age!
