Yes it's true, James is fully trained! Even at night, the kid is doing awesome! Out of all three boys, James got the potty thing the fastest and the youngest. He is a smarty pants in every way. We made James a potty chart and every time he went, he put a sticker on the chart. He filled up his chart and got his awesome prize,(color changing lightening mcqueen car). Now he wants another chart. Im pretty sure he thinks if he fills up another chart there will be another prize... Im telling ya, smarty pants!
We just love our Jamers!
From age 15 to about age 21 I was a running fool. I would run anywhere from 5- 13 miles a day. Running was my happiness, my outlet, my enjoyment, and where I based my self esteem. I was good at it. The reason I was good at it was because I figured out the trick to running. Running has nothing to do with your fitness, leg strength or even your shoes, running is all about mind. You have to be focused, determined, and for me able to block out the world, including my own thought. I learned this skill so well that I almost became numb. An old boyfriend of mine would often ask what I was thinking, and I truthfully told him nothing... which was frustrating for him and probably one of the reasons we ended.
Today I would give anything to be thinking nothing. My brain is always full of thoughts. Thoughts about my kids, money, relationships, family, church calling, my kids, business, my hubby, and on and on and on. I would give anything to block out the thoughts for even just and hour a day so that I could be that running fool again...
Being a mom of little boys has brought challenges that I never realized existed. Bathrooms seem to always be stinky, dirt is everywhere, even in the winter, but the biggest frustration for me is never having a pair of jeans without holes in the knee, and always the right knee for some strange reason...
But I have found it... The solution for the never ending hole in the knee.
It's the Kid Tough program at Shopko... of all places.
I heard about it this summer when I was shopping for school clothes. Buy a pair of jeans at shopko and they will guarantee those jeans as long as your child is in that same size. Which means when Grant comes home from school with the hole in his right knee, I can take them right off and get him another pair of size 6 jeans for free, no receipt needed. How cool is that. I did my first jean swap yesterday and let me tell you it felt amazing.
