November 2018

As always we started off November celebrating my new 3 year old (3 years...what?!)

And then since he was an official "big boy" at the ripe ol' age of three we decided to give potty training a go the next week. I found that I had to be as ready as he was. That process took a few months for me to really want to do it, be prepared to do it and then not go back. Beckham didn't really show any signs but at three he was communicating pretty well so we figured why not.

It took a lot of persuasion and patience the first day...


 And encouraging words from me and to me....

 And lots of bribery...cars, marshmallows, stickers and movies

 BUT he finally got the hang of it a couple days later and proudly wears his big boy undies around the house.


After a week of staying inside and close to the house (for the fear of accidents) I finally felt brave enough to go on walks and bike rides again.







Then as always we were able to celebrate Thanksgiving festivities with family and friends.
