OUR THIRD!

   A few weeks ago me and Jeff found out we're going to be parents~again. We were both a little shocked. It was quite the surprise. But we're super excited. Ethan has been telling random people that her mommy has a baby in her tummy. So I might as well let the world know, since my son can't keep a secret. Lexi and the baby will be about 18 months apart, which scares me a little that they'll be so close. But at least I have one child potty trained so I don't have 3 kids in diapers. Now if only I could potty train Lexi before the baby comes~not likely, but wishful thinking! I find it amazing that the Lord has a different plan than I have for myself. It humbles me to recognize the hand of the Lord in my life. I'm grateful for the opportunity to accept one of Heavenly Father's choice children into my family.

Potty Training

   We started potty training Ethan last week. He's doing well with only an accident or two every couple of days. I think this is the most frustrating part of being a mom. I'm so proud of him every time he goes, I cheer him a long & he thinks it's great. He is also so proud of me when he finds out I go potty in the toilet too. He cheers for me & tells me what a great job I did. Even though I get frustrated, it's so rewarding to see it click in his mind. Lexi gets very jealous when I give Ethan attention on the potty-I think she's sick of my time being consumed in the bathroom. All in all it's going well, and I look forward to this part being done and over with!
