For the past week, Alex has been in training... potty training. He is doing SO well with it. The diapers came off last Wednesday and since then he has been learning to go potty. He hasn't had too many accidents and usually can tell me when he has to go. The trick is going out in public and making sure we make it to the potty. I'm so proud of him...it sounds silly but once you've been buying diapers for two years...you get really proud and happy when you don't have to buy them so much anymore. Of course in a few weeks we'll be buying way more diapers than we've had to buy in a while, but one child in diapers is much better than two.
I have been feeling so nostalgic lately. My time alone with Alex is about to be invaded and I'm just not sure what to expect. I hope he will do well with a little brother too. We talk alot about the baby and I know he understands a little bit about a new baby. He has helped me get out clothes and wash blankets and we've looked at the baby toys and teething rings together. I think I've prepared him as much as I possibly can...but I know it will still be so shocking for him. I just hope I can give him enough attention and time alone so he doesn't feel left out. I am going to miss my time with him. Of course we are so excited to be having another little boy and are anticipating the day we bring him home...it's just that we don't know how it will be for our Alex.
