Potty Training: Mission Complete

On Saturday all of my BFF's got together in Raleigh to celebrate one of my best friends, Brittany with a baby shower!  Brittany is due with Wilson Wade in early April and I was just miserable over having to miss out on such a special occasion in a friends life.  I wanted to share with you some recent "craftiness" I was quite proud over, things I had prepared for Britt's shower.  I made her dividers for her babies closet to divide the different sizes in baby clothing using just the products below.

 This idea was of course found on beloved, Pinterest.  The pink ones are for my pal, Jackie.

 I was in charge of the favors for the shower so unsure of what would be easy to ship and not cost a fortune in freight costs, I made these little bird favors filled with wildflower seed.

 Grant was ever ready to help Mama scoop the seeds into the bags.

 I coordinated the colors with the colors from the shower, navy, green and yellow.  I was happy to hear that they shipped beautifully and were a hit!

 On another note, Grant is potty trained!  Praise the Lord!  I took the boot camp approach and enrolled him in a 3 day, no nonsense, not leaving the house or Mama's side training program.  One of the first things we did before starting the program was go out and purchase his "big boy" underwear.  He was very proud of them and carried them all around the house for a couple of hours.

 and for 3 days, Grant looked like this... The book suggested that he wear just a shirt and the underwear around the house for the entirety of the process.

 The ebook I used as a guide was:  3 Day Potty Training by Lora Jensen and can be found HERE.  The first day was miserable, I cleaned up accident after accident and wanted to pull my hair out.  He awoke twice that night with soiled sheets.  The second day he had two accidents and soiled sheets the next morning.  The third day, no accidents and slept through the night and woke up dry!!  He has woken up every morning since dry and we couldn't be happier or prouder of our little man!

 and here I am 27 weeks, Baby James is kicking up a storm and I'm starting to feel all the aches and pains that come with carrying around all that extra baggage.  Good news is, I'm diaper free for 3 months, (and then, it starts allllll over again!)
