Pee Pee in the Pot-ay.
Well this past week was a slow picture week aside from the first photos of Lucas that I already posted and a few that I got when Aiden was playing with my pink sweater. Monday I can’t even remember what we did. I think we ran some errands for some of the last minute Christmas stuff that we needed to buy.
Tuesday was an eventful day. I woke up in the morning and made an appointment to go and get a H1N1 shot. After that we took Aiden to great grandma’s and headed over to our ultrasound appt. YAY! Everything looked healthy and good but it wasn’t until later in the week when I got a card in the mail stating that my ob ultrasound came back as normal that we knew for sure that the baby is doing marvelously. After finding out that it was a boy we started the process of finding a name. We kept a list and literally went through EVERY SINGLE NAME on one web site as well several names on a few other websites. We finally figured out a name four days later on the 7th.
Wednesday I finally got an H1N1 vaccine and my arm muscle was sore for a few days. We look forward to going back to church and I look forward to taking Aiden to playgroup. We have been playing it safe the last two weeks and I have canceled playgroup as well as all of us missing church. I just did not want to chance getting the swine flu with how dangerous it could have been to Lucas and I. Wednesday Aiden also had his first bloody nose. He fell off of the lower stair and hit the tile. When we looked him over everything was ok and he wasn’t bleeding but when I went into his room the next morning there was some spots of blood on his sheet. Poor guy.
I worked on projects a lot last week. I got Aiden’s felt pizza done, worked on Christmas gifts, made a few more rice heat packs to sell, started on a headband for my sister. She will likely be the first sale for my online boutique. I also wrapped a whole bunch of the finished Christmas gifts. It is nice to be nearly done so early in the season.
Friday morning Brandon got to sub for a couple of hours. He really enjoyed himself and even had a few moments of being very clever when students were trying to pull one over on him. I hope that he can sub more often because he enjoys it and really likes to teach. (Not to mention having some money to put into savings would be nice.)
So yesterday, Aiden finally said, “I lub you mommy.” He has been telling Brandon that he loves him a few times over the last couple of weeks but he finally told me. Only a mother can know how wonderful it feels to here her child say those words to her for the first time. It is one of the truly great moments in motherhood that makes everything else worth it. I love my cute Aiden boy.
On another note, last night my mom had come over for her weekly visit and after dinner Aiden was tooting so she asked him if he was pooping. He said “yes”, (even though he wasn’t) and so she asked if he needed to go potty. He said, “yes” and I just intended to ignore it. But she encouraged me to take him up and sit him on the potty because she said that when they show interest you need to act on it. Well I took him upstairs and set him on the potty and much to my surprise he actually went pee in it! I told him what a big boy he was and sang the song from Look Who’s Talking Too. He said, “pee pee, toilet.” and everyone else praised him for a job well done. Thus began my journey to having Aiden potty trained. We are going to use the gradual and slow method of potty training with the goal of having him potty trained before Lucas is born. Even then depending on how well it is going he may only be daytime potty trained. So, wish me luck! If you have any ideas or tips let me know.
