Mother's Day and Potty Training

My sweet little family gave me a wonderful Mother's Day this year!

I was sick the entire weekend but on Sunday, I felt somewhat good enough to mosey out to lunch at my favorite little pizzeria here in Gainesville. I was pampered with beautiful flowers, a new table and chair set for the deck and some much needed "quiet time!" Did I mention, I did not have to change any diapers that day? It was wonderful!

Jackson's last day of school is on Monday both of us are going to be sad. He starts back in August, so I just have to try to figure out a summer full of things to keep him busy. One major task I was going to take on starting next week was the dreaded POTTY TRAINING! To my surprise, Jackson has taken on this task alone and has done wonderful at teaching himself. The days that he is not in school he is using the potty completely on his own with no accidents. If its a day that he has to go to school, he tells me that he's not going to use the potty at school but only at home. It confuses me because when we are out and about he will use a public restroom. It's something about school he just won't use it there?? I guess it's a good thing that school is over on Monday so he gets into the 7 -day a week potty using routine! Potty training has been pretty simple for us, so far. I just hope he continues to head in the right direction.

Next weekend we are headed to Virginia for Memorial Day! This will be the 3rd year Jackson heads to the Strawberry Fest, which he loves. Mom and Dad are having the usual cookout and everyone's going to come over. Jackson will be happy to play with Gracey and Barron all weekend!
