Potty Training is not for dummies
So this week I tried to potty train Benji with no success whatsoever. The second I would leave a room he would yell "Wet, Wet" when I had spent the last 3 or 4 hours trying to get him to go in the toilet. It's impossible. I am a dummy. I don't know how to do it. I chalk it up to he's still too young and he's a boy. I mean he just barely turned 2 a few months ago, what can I expect out of him. It was just too traumatic for both of us. I guess I'll try again after the baby comes. I was hoping to get it done before then, but no chance, unless he just decides to go on his own.
So I keep hoping I'm going to start feeling better soon, but still nothing. I've actually been feeling worse this last week. The baby is getting bigger my pelvis is shifting out, and I can hardly walk because of it. It is getting better though as far as pain goes, but I still feel like crap. I just keep telling myself there is only 2 months left I can handle it. Sorry to whine all the time, but no one at home listens or seems to care. I'm on my own.
I did pull out a bunch of Benji's old clothes, hoping we had some stuff for the new kid, I guess I can tell you his name is going to be James David Cox. I didn't want to say, but I can't keep referring to him as the kid or whatever. I always call him Jamesy or however you spell that. I'm really excited. Anyway about the clothes, I wasn't sure I was going to have anything since Benji is a winter baby and James is a spring baby. Thankfully though, a lot of people gave us summery type clothes when Ben was born since we were in California so I have quite a bit and was pleasantly surprised. I don't know about after 6 months, but hopefully I can pull another rabbit out of the hat.
Well like I said before I hate when these things are long so I'll say goodbye for now.
(Just for posterity I took this picture of me pregnant with James at 7 months)
