Potty Trained

September 6, 2013 is the official day that Jaden was potty trained! It really just non intentionally happened on that Sarurday morning. I took his diaper off after he woke up to air out his little bum and then told Josh to take him in to the bathroom and show him how to pee like a big boy (standing up). He totally did it, and I was so surprised and thought why did I not try that before?!? Basically from that point on it just clicked and he has been out of diapers ever since (except for night time) although he usually wakes up dry. He even tells me he has to potty and I rarely have to remind him, which is nice cause I forget to ask for long periods of time occasionally.

I'm so glad I did not push the potty training and waited till he was 100% ready, it made both our lives easier. So the only thing he struggles with is going #2, which I'm not sure how to tackle that one, so any suggestions are welcome! So that is Jaden's potty training story. I feel so proud and accomplished as a mommy that we have reached and passed this big milestone in his little life, and right before his 3rd birthday too!!!

I wanted to put a cute picture of Jaden in his little undies but Josh said no (I did not agree at all), so I guess this will due haha.

Lesli said...: YAY JADEN!!! It is such an accomplished proud moment for both of you!! Dan was super protective over what pics I put of June on our blog about potty training too! I was a little sad because I had some really cute shots of her, but I was lucky to persuade him into letting me post the ones that I did! Just some over protective daddy's! Miss you and love you lots!!; October 13, 2013 at 7:07 PM

*How We Met*

Josh and I had both been up to BYU-Idaho for our first time in January 2007, but NEVER MET each other while we were there which was weird since you usually know everyone in such a small town like Rexburg. Anyways we both came home in July after our school year was over and got a job. This is where the magic started at a company called Magellan Health Services. It was a brand new company so we all had to go through training, and on our first day of training we had to go around the room and say are names and a little about ourselves. So I stood up first said my name and that I was going to school at BYU-Idaho and I was going back in January. It then came around to Josh's turn and he said his name and that he went to BYU-Idaho too and he was going back in January too. We looked at each other and it was from that point on we were inseparable.
