big bee at 5 months, potty training

I can't believe Blake is already 5 months old! Makes me sad! Before I know it he'll be one. Where does the time go? I don't know why, but I totally have the baby itch. Am I crazy or what? I can't even imagine what three kids would be like so we'll be waiting.

My neighbor made the comment about Andrew still being a baby (11 months) when I got pregnant and how she wants to spend as much time with her first before having her second. I kept my mouth shut, but I totally disagree. If Andrew had been 5 months when I got pregnant, then yah, he would have still been a baby. I don't feel like we took anything away from Andrew by getting pregnant when he was 11 months. Hopefully we gave him a best friend (well, WE didn't actually give him a best friend..but ya know what I mean.) I wanted to say...what about your second kid? How are you going to spend the time with him/her like you did with the first one? You won't because your first child will be around. And even if Andrew had been 5 months old when we got pregnant it would have been a decision that my husband and I made. I don't know why some people need to add their two cents. Makes me wonder if I say stupid stuff like that to people. I sure hope not. Anyway, that's just my two cents. :)

So, we are still potty training Andrew. How long is this gonna take? We've been doing it a little over a week now. This week I started putting him on the potty ever 20-30 mins. He's doing pretty good with it...but hates having to sit on it all the time. I've had to bring his potty out into the living room so he'll stay on it for longer than a second. I kinda wonder if he's really ready. Sometimes he goes just a little and sometimes a lot. Yesterday he went on it 9 times!!! (and we weren't even home in the morning)...but he also went in his big boy undies probably 4 times. I know that he will have accidents but when he does go in his undies he could care less. He doesn't come tell me he's done anything...except when he goes #2. So, mom's out there who have done the whole potty training deal...spill the beans...give me some tips/secrets. And, yes, I do give him stickers and a treat (one M&M!)
