potty training & teething!

Just an update on what we've been up to these past couple of weeks! You guessed it (okay, so I gave it away in the title), but yes it's true, Ty is attempting the potty training thing - so I'm up for any pointers!! and Zach is teething - 6 at one time. That's right, 6! I say lets get them all in at once so I can sleep through the night. I have a couple of 4 day weekends coming up & am hopeful that we can get Ty actually going on the potty, rather than just saying he has to go so he gets 3 M&M's...

I'm having a wisdom tooth pulled on the 4th, and not looking forward to it. I had 2 pulled when I was 20, and this past April while I was pregnant, 1 more came in! I could have died!!! And if you know me, I hate the dentist! I had such a horrible experience with my last appointment (to get the first two wisdom teeth pulled) that I haven't been back since. My co-worker's dad is a dentist & she promised me that he would be awesome. So, I was a big girl & actually walked into his office to schedule an appointment. I almost puked right there in the office from my nerves. Long story short, I had an exam & even went back a couple of weeks later for a cleaning - I'm such a "big girl" - I went all by myself! Now the actual pulling of the tooth is coming...good thing I have a prescription for some Xanax. He told me to take 2 before my appointment, then smiles & says, "you know, why don't you bring the bottle with you just in case!" Funny guy, huh?!!

Good luck with the tooth Jen! I had all of mine out at the same time during senior year. They put me under to do it, and that is a very good thing.

As for potty training, let me know what works.

When it comes to the aiming part of the potty deal, sinking Cherrios works according to my sister. As to the training part itself, I think you are doing good. The therapist in me says, just be consistent!
