Here are some updates on Joshua:
We went back to the doctor yesterday for his booster for the flu shot and to check out his ears from a month ago when he had the beginnings of an ear infection. His ears checked out beautifully! No infection in sight! He took his booster shot like a champ and when they weighed him he has almost gained 2 lbs in 1 month (31lbs 10oz.) ! I think last month at his 3 yr well check he was 30.2 or something close to that. My growing boy!!
Next up for updates is potty training! So, we are still going strong at home, but not so much at school. We had to put him back in pull ups while he is at school(per the teacher's request) because she couldn't remember to take him every 20 mins and it just wasn't working since he can't tell her when he had to go "potty". It was a little frustrating to me, but really there is nothing we can do about it, because I can't really force her to do different and I can't stay at home with him while potty training, so pretty much stuck with the cards we are dealt for now. She still continues to ask him and take him to the potty, but with little success(he will go and sit on the potty, but he usually has already gone in the pull up). Which leads us to a slight struggle when we get home and change him to underwear and then he proceeds to say he doesn't have to go until he has an accident! Very, Very frustrating!! I talked to his doctor about our little dilemma and he said that yes, the preferred idea would be for him to be in underwear all day, but it will not stop the progress of him potty training, it will just take a little longer because he is in both. So, with all that being said, we are still pushing on! He is still doing well at home with minimal accidents. The first hour after we get home is a little rough because of the transitioning from pull up to underwear, but after that he is going to the potty. We have actually found a "groove"! He seems to go every 45 mins on the dot, so we watch the clock closely and still ask him every 15 mins but do not put him on the potty until 45 mins. He will have a 3 day weekend, because his school is closed on Monday for MLK day, so I am hoping this 3 day weekend will help the process seeing that he will be at home and be able to wear underwear 24/7. We will see how it goes! He is doing so well and we are so proud of him!!!
