I knew I was going to potty train Camden in March, and I really wasn't looking forward to it. But I finally found a week with nothing going on and we went for it. I printed out a potty chart for him, got him treats, a ninja turtle seat and ninja turtle underwear! We also got him a book that talked about potty training and we would read it. We had been talking to him about it for the last couple of months, but I wasn't sure if he really understood what was going on. The first day was a disaster, which I knew would probably happen. He didn't pee in the potty at all and we went through all of his underwear. The next day he wasn't super excited about trying again, but I kept having him try about every half hour. When he finally went he was so excited! From then on, he wanted to go and didn't even really care about getting candy every time he went. He was most excited because he could color his batman chart! Ha! It took him a little longer to poop in the potty, probably about a week later he finally did, and since then he has been a pro! His reward for finally going poop in the potty was the spiderman and batman underwear. Plus he got to pick out some fruit snacks, it was a hard decision between batman, turtles or Star Wars, but he finally ended up with Star Wards. He's only had one pee accident since I trained him, and hopefully he keeps it up! He's not potty trained at night, since he is still in a crib, but he should be in a bed by the end of the month and then we will work on that! I'm just grateful that he picked it up quickly and has been good about going. I did wait until he was older and could communicate with me before started and I really think that helped a lot! Now Sienna thinks that she needs to go potty as well! She will tell him to go potty and run in there every time he goes. Haha! Maybe by the end of the year she will get potty trained and we will only have 1 in diapers...that would be awesome!
We went out to dinner one night, and this girl had to have the salsa right in front of her so that she could dip her chips. She loves salsas and dips.
I love when they watch tv like this...haha so cute!
I was 28 weeks on March 23rd. I am feeling good, just keep getting bigger! ;) I feel like I am counting down the weeks more with this pregnancy than I did with the other two. Even though I know it will be harder when she is here, I am looking forward to not being pregnant! Other than her dilated kidney, everything else is going great. I can't complain too much during my pregnancies, we are healthy and happy and just waiting to meet this sweet new girl of ours!

Yay for potty-training being successful! That was always such a dreaded task for me! And you look so darling pregnant - can't wait to see this little one!
