Alex did it!!!

Oh my goodness! I know this is a minor thing for most of you but Alex poo'd in the potty today! He's only ever done this twice, it's not that he doesn't feel the sensation but rather gets so constipated (sorry, tmi) and does it when he can. We saw the nutritionist recently and she told me some ideas (adding bran to his food mostly) along with sneaking vegetables and fruits into his foods (which I had started doing before we saw her) and powdered milk for proteint. It's apparently working, his bowels are getting more "normal" and today he poo'd a lot. So nasty but come on, the kid will be 5 next month and potty training has been a long road. He's finally getting it! Next step is to get him to do it all the time. Boy was there cheering when I figured out he'd done it!!! lol. Preschool is working with him too and that really helps me because I am not doing this solo. Start praying for him that this will happen, he needs it before August when Kindergarten starts.

On the same front, Ariana is doing well too. She still slips (mostly when daddy is home for some reason) but does well and knows how to stay dry when she chooses. Whew!

Camden is doing well too, he's talking like a mad man! He is having conversations with us now (mostly jabbering but does give 2 to 3 word phrases at times). Scares us to realize how much he's growing up, the baby is now a toddler... like it or not. lol. Guess it's time to have another baby.. :) If only it was that easy for some of us.

I am doing well too, just staying busy. Ray is working hard, we're all working hard!
