The deal with doo

I've been using the "potty without pressure" method of potty training for Camden. It's okay, works well for us since we both work. Camden is doing really well......EXCEPT for #2. He won't do the doo in the potty. Nope, No way, not gonna happen, won't do it! I've tried everything: bribes, big boy underwear, showing him how the poo can flush down the toliet, talking sternly, talking baby...everything. That boy doesn't want to do #2. So, I'm backing off...and trying to find another potty book we can read.

He does really well at school, I mean wears his real underwear all day with just a few accidents....so I think it's something with us. Maybe he's afraid he won't be our baby anymore? Maybe he is using as power over us?? I'm not sure.

I can't wait until we can throw pullups out the door and be totally of that phase!!

I'm abit ashamed of myself

I can't believe it's been since October since I've even made the effort to make a blog! It's funny because I work all day at home on the computer...you'd think taking the time to update a blog wouldn't be that much of a stretch. But it is!



Once I get to work, it's a mad rush from 8 to 5....then Camden & Danny come home....then dinner, playtime, bath, cleaning the house, then bed.............X5 days a week!



Catching up for anyone who may still read the blog.



Camden is a little over 2 1/2. He's is full of energy and learns new stuff every day! He can count to 20, knows his letters (with some help of course!), and is really learning his manners. He loves saying please, thank you and you're welcome. He'll even tell him self thank you and you're welcome. It cracks me up....sometimes, he'll play in his room by himself and you'll hear him just talking up a storm. He got his first black eye last week. He was at school and was running with a toy. He tripped, fell and SMACK..........right in the eye. They called me right after it happened and said it wasn't anything to worry about. Then a few hours later, they called and said it really had started to swell, so to come pick him up. So off we went to the doctors. It thankfully, is nothing but a nasty looking black eye. Poor fellow!



We went on our first vacation in 3 years!!! We went to Pensacola, FL and had a wonderful time. Camden loved the beach. He and Danny would play in the ocean and the sand. They dug these holes in the sand and Camden would sit contently making sandcastles.



When we got back, we walked into our house to find (GASP!!) the city of Longview had pressurized a sewer line and it flooded our house. It was, in a word, TOTALLY DISGUSTING!!!



So we were pretty much homeless for a week while we tried to get the stink out of the house! We moved back in a couple of weeks ago, but still haven't got flooring put in the house. We ordered it, but it hasn't come in. So walking on concrete floors.



I CAN'T WAIT TO GET CARPET!! woohoo.....I'm praying this week!
