Potty training is getting slightly better.  Fewer pee accidents, but still no poop on the potty.  He'll shit his pants, but scream at the suggestion of going on the potty.  More often than not, he poops while wearing a diaper (bedtime and naptime), so at least it's not always in his underpants.

I feel more and more comfortable taking him out in public.  We've been to restaurants, play dates, the grocery store...all with good luck.  He's better at holding his pee and has yet to poop in his pants in a public arena.  There are still a few times when I'll put him in a Pull Up just in case, but even then, he'll still ask to go pee on the potty.  PROGRESS.

We've been keeping SUPER busy during the week.  He has a sports class on Monday mornings, a preschool-type class on Tuesday mornings, speech therapy on Wednesday mornings, and we do other things like play dates and my mom's meetings the other days of the week.  Most of these outings are only an hour or so each, but taking into account prep time and travel times, they can each last most of the morning.  I can't believe we're 1/4 of the way through February already!  That's what I wanted from all this--to keep busy enough to NOT notice winter outside my door.

Speaking of winter, we finally have snow.  Now, anyone who knows me knows how much I despise winter and all that comes with it.  But Jackson loves the snow--seeing it come down, playing in it, etc.  That alone is worth the price of admission into winter.  He's been out several times to make snowballs (which is hilarious!).  Fun times!!

Other than that, winter has been quiet.  We're getting a new couch this week.  That's LONG overdue and been in our minds for a couple years now.  We spend our weekends at birthday parties, friends' houses, or home alone.  I love being home on a weekend as a family.  Nothing better.

Valentine's Day will be boring the day of, but Paul and I will (hopefully) have a date night the weekend after.  We need it.  It's been a while!

Enjoy Feb!!!
