Potty Training....

I would like to announce that Izzy Boy is now potty trained!!! Oh T.G. that is over with. Now I don't have to worry about buying diapers:). It's actually wierd because izzy boy was the one that pretty much decided he was done with the diapers. After a fun filled weekend up in Salt Lake. On Tuesday Izzy came home from day care and said "mommy I need to potty on the toilet". Thinking that he wasn't really being serious I just said "ok", but then he walked himself to the bathroom stood on the toilet and did his business. Since then he's been wearing his big boy underwear and has only had one accident but that was at night when he was sleeping. It's amazing how easy it was because he was the one to iniciate it. Gosh, I feel like I was stressing over nothing b/c in the past we did try but izzy wasn't ready so I didn't force it. Now this summer I hope to put him in the montessori school since that was there requirement; that all children be potty trained. Oh life is good:)

Getting Izzy to bed....

Ok so lets just tell it like it is; my son is driving me nuts and I have my husband to thank lol! Since my husband just couldn't handle izzy sleeping in his crib when he was younger we wait no let me rephrase that I can't get him to 1. sleep in his own bed and 2. sleep before 10pm. This is by far more frustrating than getting my son to pee in the toilet. I hope that this issue can be resolved sooner than later because it's really annoying to be up at one in the moring, while my husband is snoring away in bed and izzy jumping off the bed pretending to be spiderman. Plus I just feel bad for izzy cause by that time of the night my patience is low and anger is high. Any suggestions people??? Honestly I'm plain old tired and I'm irritated that I go to school sometimes looking like I've been up all night snorting crack lol.

Kids Say the Cutest Things

Just this past week izzy boy has surprised me with saying some of the cutest things. On Monday as I was catching up on one of the few t.v. shows worth watching (Oprah of course) izzy boy ran to the door and was attempting to open it. So I asked izzy boy "Hey and where do you think you're going monster?" Izzy looked at me and said mommy I go work on the ambulance. So as I tried hard not to laugh I said oh, ok why do you want to go work izzy? Izzy then replied by saying so I get monies to buy candies and diapers. Later in the week Izzy came to me holding a closed fist and tried to put it in my hand I said thanks izzy whats this? Izzy replied by saying burried treasures mommy here you go.
After hearing my son say these cute things, i felt a sense of gratitude that I've been able to spend a lot of time with izzy this summer. Its things like this that make it hard to go back to school especially since I start this Monday, knowing that durring the days a head I might miss special moments like these with him. However, I know that by finishing my education, will in the end be most benefical for my family. Thats when I just have to keep saying that sometimes we do the things we have to do so we can do the things we want do.- (Denzel Washington)
