Yay Henry!

Last May, as some of you may remember I tried the 3 day potty training method and after 9 days I gave up because it was either that or lose my sanity. I was so tired of praising Henry for "trying" when he would sit on the toilet for 2 seconds and demand to get down. (if you want to read my blog posts about it you can look here, remember to start from the bottom and work your way up to go in order)


Well, I decided last week to try potty training again. I thought maybe he was finally ready. It was his half birthday (3 1/2) and I really didn't want him to be 4 and still wearing diapers. This time it was so much easier! I used a lot of the methods from the 3 day potty training system but I kind of adapted them to fit Henry a little better. He is what I like to call a strong willed child and he is not easily tricked into doing something that he doesn't want to do.

I could tell by the first day that it was going much easier than it did the first time I tried. He was at least willing to sit on the toilet this time! Each day seemed to be easier than the last, I am happy to report that yesterday, 2 weeks after we started he is going into the bathroom by himself and going to the bathroom, this includes pee and poo, he is also waking up dry in the mornings. He did have one accident yesterday but I'm not too worried about it. I am so glad that I listened to my mommy intuition last year and decided to wait til he was ready. I didn't get frustrated with him one time this time around. I am so proud of him and I know he is proud of himself too!

Vlog??

So, I have been considering the idea of doing a vlog (for those of you not hip on the lingo, that stands for video - blog) I want to but it looks kind of hard. Knowing me, I'll want to edit it and everything instead of just doing a straight video. I think I'm going to try it. I might do my first one this weekend. what topic should I do? Should I just talk off the top of my head? I'm wondering if anyone would even watch it and / or comment on it. Then I wonder if I would even want people to watch it, especially strangers. Wonder if I do something really dorky that people decide should be the next viral video of youtube and they show it on the 6:00 news and it gets a million views? Hey, that might be cool, maybe I could be a guest on Ellen or Rachel Ray :) I don't know which scares me more; no one watching or a million people watching! and then wonder if I get some mean comments like, "dude, this is stupid and boring and you're ugly" that will make me want to cry! So what do you think??? any ideas of what I should do for my first Vlog?
