We are in the process of potty training our 16 month old son. He will let us know when he goes poo poo and pee pee.
We bought him his own little potty seat and we make him sit on it for a few minutes. He hasn't gone in the potty yet, but he just told me he had to go poo poo. So as I type this on my phone he is sitting on the potty! I will let you know what happens :)

15 more weeks!
So it has been about 2 weeks since I have posted on my blog! The time goes by so quickly!
I have 15 more weeks before baby Z makes her appearance. I am kind of hoping that it is sooner, but since I have one outfit, a tutu, a hat, and booties for her I am thinking she needs to take her time. Hopson is hoping for a February 29 baby...we'll see. This second pregnancy is FLYING by! I can't believe that I am almost in my third trimester! I remember waiting and waiting for Jonah to arrive. Once I hit 36 weeks I was ready for him to come whenever! This time I look at my What to Expect app and I am blown away by how fast it is going!
Jonah and I have been to New York and back for my grandmother's 80th birthday. The day we got back from New York I got a wonderful little thing called the stomach bug! So it took about 2 days to get over that. Feeling much better now! And thankfully Jonah never got sick!
While we were gone Hopson finished up his paper for his first doctoral seminar! YAY! I have one more class tonight and then we are both finished with our first semester of classes.
That is a very brief summary of the past two week! See you again...hopefully SOON!

Sick little boy
So for the past week Jonah has been sick. I am not sure if it is allergies, a cold, or teething. When he is sick, he gets into everything and is really whiny. He wants to try everything out even if he is not supposed to. When I tell him no he gives me a look and a whine like I should be allowing him to do whatever he wants! As I type this right now he is mad because he can't get the one specific toy that he wants.
Needless to say, it is tough on a mom when your kiddos are sick. I feel bad for my son, but I also get way more frustrated with him. God has been really teaching me to let the frustration go. I have been praying so much more this week for grace. I have been praying for a stronger love to be compassionate to Jonah. I have failed several times, but God is answering my prayers as well. Jonah wants me to comfort him and take care of him when he feels bad and I want to do those things. I am so thankful to be able to stay home with him and be with him. I am thankful that I am the one that gets to wipe his snotty nose and deal with his temper tantrums. It's not easy but there is no other place I would rather be!
I also want to say that I have a great husband who is soo helpful! He comes home from work and plays with our son so that I can cook or clean or do whatever needs to be done. Hopson hasn't complained about the house being messier, but has helped clean it up and put it back in order. God has blessed me so much in my family and today I choose to be thankful!
