Bet you weren't expecting to see him were you?!! ha ha Actually, this transpired because his older brother Garrett has finally started using the potty and wearing big boy underpants (during the day). Earlier today Jack saw that Garrett had pooped in the toilet so he immediately wanted to sit on the potty too. He didn't get anything out that time but he enjoyed sitting there. It wasn't until after I arrived home from picking up Nikki from school that Jack just stood there and I looked at him questioningly and he says to me "I'm pooping". So I ran over to check and see if he'd gone in his diaper yet and he hadn't and asked if he wanted to go on the potty and then rushed him over and sat him down......and he DID IT!! Even after he was done he just wanted to sit on the potty because he was having such a good time. He was rewarded with a sucker afterward.
Then about 3 hours later he had pooped in his diaper and when I went to change him he said he wanted to go on the potty again. So I cleaned him up and sat him on there and after several minutes I heard a little tinkle. Of course we were very excited for him and cheered for him each time. Now when Jack wants to sit on the potty he tells me to "sit down" and points to the side of the tub because that's where I sat the first time he tried out the potty.
We are very excited that Jack is now starting to use the potty but we're not pushing anything on him. We're just going to let him enjoy it when he wants to do it. But it is nice to dream about both the boys being potty trained before having any more babies :)
On a different note, I tried a new braid on Nikki this week. Well, new to me. I have seen this "fishbone" braid before but had never tried it until now. I found a blog that had a video tutorial on how to do it. It was actually easier than I thought it would be.

That is GREAT!!! Way to go little Jack! The boys can help each other! lol
I use to do the fishbone on Traci and Heather and it is very easy but looks difficult!! I could do that one but not the french!!! lol
Looks cute Nikki!
Yeah for Jack! Paige has an obsession or the potty, but I keep waiting cause she never actually does anything while there....maybe with the basement bathroom is finished, I'll get serious. That is WONDERFUL news to a parent.
You'll have to tell when the website that has the video tutorial. I'd love to try that on Emma. It's cute!
can he come teach Jayden. Jayden just laughs at me. He use to be very excited about the potty, now not so much. I'm waiting until the big three before I do a big potty training push. For now I'm just talking about it with him a lot.
