"Mom poop"

was what caused me to jump out of bed at 6 this morning. The other day he told me, but I was busy and missed the opportunity. He filled his diaper about 2 minutes later. I figured he had already gone this morning, by what he was saying, so I took him to change his diaper. When I removed the diaper he promptly started to wiz so we rushed to the bathroom and he completed his buisiness on the pot. He was so excited and proud of himself, he kept yelling "YAY BL, YAY! I get a TREAT!" We've been talking about going to the bathroom a lot lately. Well, it's mostly a one way conversation. It seems like he's starting to get it a little bit and it's really exciting. It's hard for him to pay attention a lot so it will probably be a slow process.

CQ and I have a potty training party planned for Tuesday. I'm really excited but I'm trying to keep my expectaions low and only hope he starts to go to the bathroom more often.

Today is the first day in a LONG time I've gotten up at 6 in the morning and actually felt good! I am NOT a morning person aside from the health problems that only make it way worse. Lately the only time I've ever felt good (or normal, depending on your perspective) is late at night and only some days. My doctor was able to bring his equipment by the house and I used it while I was sleeping last night. It has made a HUGE difference to say the least. Yesterday was probably the worst day since I've been here. Hopefully things will keep getting better from here. If nothing else I'm going to go enjoy today.
