Potty Trained!

I posted a post similar to this before but I have to get the pic in this one. He is doing so good. #2 accidents are happening less, knock on wood. He has peed the bed only once so far, knock on wood. Jax is doing awesome with it! I am very proud of him. Him going to the bathroom by himself makes him seem so much bigger now. When I would change his diaper, there was a feeling of him still being my baby. He is growing up! It makes me sad but man I am so grateful I don't have to change any more diapers until the next munchkin comes along.

You can see the golden arch! Go Jax! He does great with aiming and lifting both seats (not in this pic though). He is going to hate me later for posting this pic but its so cute!

Chillin

This is just a pic of me and Jax chillin in our jammies. That's what we do best :) I love him so dang much.

Bike Riding

Me and Jax got home yesterday afternoon and it was nice weather. I let the dogs out, Jax hopped on his bike, and we just went around our caldisac (spelling?).






His eye is squished by my big face. My eye is infected with pink eye! Yum! We look like a couple of goobers in this pic. But that's who we are :)

It started to get dark and cold so we went in and made dinner. It was a fun little evening :)

Park City

Last Sunday, we went to Park City! Taylor and his friend Nick took me and Nick's wife Kelly to Park City for Valentine's Day. It was awesome. Kelly and I went to the spa while the boys went to The Canyons and snowboarded. I got a massage and a pedicure. It was so nice. Then us girls went down to the outlets. I got some dang cute pants and a sweatshirt, both on sale! Woo Woo! That's the way I roll :) It was lots of fun. I haven't been to Park City FOREVER. It was sunny and just perfect!

This dog was sitting outside one of the stores at the outlets. He was HUGE and so cute. He wanted to play so bad.

Blessed

I probably sound so mean about Jax. I love him so much. Don't get me wrong. He is just at a hard age and its my first child. He is so fun. He is so smart. He talks so good. He is doing great with his potty training. He is the light of my life. I would be lost without him. My mom and dad are his favorite people. He loves them so much. Madi and Carter are like his siblings. He tells me he wants his friends, Madi & Carter. He will always want to call my mom and dad and talk to them. He tells them he loves them and wants them. Its cute. Then he gets there and he wants me. I was the exact same way. I would cry when I left my parents and would go to my grandmas or anyone's house. Then I would cry when they would come pick me up. Patience is something I am working on. Some days are better than others. Jax has been riding his bike on sunny days. I am excited for the warm weather, even though we need the moisture. We are a very blessed family. Me and Taylor both have jobs. Our jobs are secure. Jax is so smart. He is healthy, besides the cold that has been going around. He is finally over it. I am still sick though. Ugh. We have a lot to be grateful for. We have great loving families. Life is just simple and great right now. I know this time will pass and then he will be older and I will be wishing that these were problems instead of worrying about him driving, being out late, growing up, etc. Being a mom changes your outlook on the world. I can't sit and think about how crazy the world is because it just scares the crap right out of me. I remind myself to live simply and love greatly. I count my blessings everyday. Thank you everyone for your love and support.

The Spawn!

I am struggling with holding the power with my 3 year old son. He yells at me, hits me, throws stuff, etc. I feel like I have no control over my son. Frustration is beginning to take over. I know its the age but it gets a little much. Am I a bad mom for not having control? He tells me no. He is the kid you see in Wal Mart and swear your kids will never act that way. Its not always that bad but Monday, we went to walmart and I left before I even began shopping. I was the mom you look at and wonder how she can lose patience with a little kid. Now I know how. Gosh its so embarassing. Any advice? I love him so much and I don't want this post to come across wrong but my goodness its been hard lately.

Potty Training

The latest here at the Welch/Leake home is that Jax is doing pretty good with the potty training. He is going in by himself and everything. At first, he would sit to pee and poo but now is standing like the big guys! It is the cutest thing ever.

I had heard "it will just happen". I didn't believe it. I though for sure that he would be in middle school with a diaper on still. But he just said to me one day "i don't want a diaper mom. i want my underwear." He just all of sudden was telling me he had to go potty and now he will just go on his own. I am so proud of him!!! He gets nervous at other people's houses though. The first day he wore his underwear to the sitter, he held it in. She put a diaper on him for his nap and he let it flow. She said he woke up with a loaded diaper. So, its been a little interesting that way. I don't want him to get a bladder infection. He is doing better though. He goes at my mom's. He might do better at the sitter now that he doesn't have to ask for her to lift him. We'll see how tomorrow goes.

All else said, it does JUST happen. Its crazy but true.
