What else we've been up too

The baby has decided to still stay cooking in my belly which is good, but not so good on Mommy. I really thought I'd have this baby early so I kinda had it in my mind I wouldn't be prego this LONG!!! I have a new respect for the women out there that go over there due date!! I'm happy that he's staying in because I won't have a baby in the NICU, but with Dylan they put him on a good scheld. and I'll have to do that with this one...on my own...lol Oh well this is me just ranting.....but I'm also SUPER excited to have this little guy out so he can meet us & his BIG brother. I'm 37 weeks tomorrow, so I only have 3 weeks to go if that :)

We've also been potty training Dylan since he knows when he go pee or poop in his diaper he tells us but he's ok with staying in the dirty diaper.(When we want to change him he won't let us) With that it makes it harder for him to understand that he could have a clean bum every time he goes in the BIG boy potty. I haven't used pull ups because I think they are a waste of money, it's just another more expensive diaper with Toys story characters on it. But I could use them down the road for night time use. So what we've been doing at first is just letting him run around the house nekkid and put the potty in front of the tv/front room. First day he had about 4 accidents, but when he would go we give him a treat so every time he would do a little tinkle he would ask instantly for a treat. Little bugger figured it out to get more treats out of us. But if we go out I put on a diaper just because I'm too lazy to remind him while I'm shopping etc. I know I need to suck it up, but we are in no hurry to train him. If he does it great, but if not I know tomorrow is another day :) But this week we are letting him wear big boy underwear and trying to train him to pull them down. These last two days he has done great....I also tell him that Diago doesn't like to be wet..lol It's been working great. So will see how long this will go on, he could fall backwards once the baby is born and I'm ok with that :)



These are picture's of him back in October when I was just trying him on potty training to see if he was ready....and he wasn't


This is him sitting in front of the tv doing his business :)

Also we have been trying to get "My To Do List" done before this baby comes. Which it almost done except our fence needs to get done, but our neighbour is not ready yet. Oh well looks like I'll have an excuse for not helping because Ill be looking after the baby :) Ryan has done a GREAT job with doing the list since I can't do much bending over, digging, etc. Dylan has been loving the freedom he has now outside in the front of the house when we are working. He tries to help with pulling weeds, but can't grab them that good so he'll say "Mommy help?" Oh well some day he'll be doing this for his Mommy :) We need to work on getting rid of our tree stumps without having them removed. We bought stump remover from the states where you drill holes into the stump and place the liquid in the holes and wait for it to dry out. Then you burn the stump....it's going to be a little hard with the stump in the back since it's so close to the house. Well see what happens with that stump, we might have to get it professionally removed.

So that's about it in our household, just waiting now for the baby to arrive :)
