Potty training?

So Jackson has showed little to no interest in potty training so far. I'm not planning on pushing it because there are enough other things to work on right now without adding this. At his well check, our pediatrician told us that he definitely has the capability and is smart enough, it's just waiting for him to choose to do it. I was giving Jackson a bath tonight and he stood up, crossed his legs, and said "I need to go potty." I was thrilled! I stood up, went to grab him and put him on the toilet, when he sat down and said "All done. I done in my bath". Wonderful! I guess we'll stick to plan A-wait longer.

Golden Birthday Party

Here are some pics from Jackson's Golden Birthday party. The kids decorated pet rocks and dug for gold. Jackson LOVED having friends over, but was too overwhelmed to open any gifts on his own. He finally did with some help, but he preferred playing with everyone.







They turned out really cute. Jackson named his 3-of course.




Digging for gold, weighing it, and 'buying' goodies.

3 Is Here!

Wow! It's been way too long since I've posted anything. It's all I can do right now to even check my email each day. Since the last post, Jackson turned 3. It was his golden birthday (he turned 3 on 3-3). It was funny because we kept telling him all day, "You're 3 today!" The next day, we said, "How old are you?" "I'm 2" was the reply. It took some convincing that he wasn't just 3 for his birthday, but was now 3 for a while. He picked up on us saying he was 3 for today and therefore thought it was a 1 day thing. Here are a couple pics of that day.


The ice cream cake!


"CHEESE!"




Don't spit on the cake!
