Potty training update & re-cap of yesterday

Yesterday was such a productive day.  We ended up leaving a note for the Fed Ex man and headed out to music class.  Greg was very happy not to have missed his class and it was good to see our friends.  We came straight home and waiting for the drug delivery, which hadn't come yet.  It finally arrived at about 2:30 pm and Andrew gave me the first shot last night.  It didn't really hurt, just stung a little as the meds were injected.  So 1 shot down, at least 3 more to go until the Dr gives us further instruction.  I don't really feel any different other than a little lower back pain (but no nausea or pregnancy symptoms which I've gotten in the past from some of the other drugs) and other than the small bruise on my tummy from the shot, I'm no worse for the wear!

In other news, the first words out of Greg's mouth when he woke up this morning were "I need to go pee pee on the potty again," and HE DID!  I am so excited.  After his first time yesterday evening, he went again before his bath and got to show Daddy =)  Then when he said that this morning I was thrilled!  He's in a pull-up today and we're going to see how things go!  He seems pretty excited about it though and I think he's going to do great!

The only time we have to leave the house today is for an appointment with our accountant at 1:00 this afternoon so hopefully everything will go smoothly!  I'm so proud of my big boy.  I was worried about the potty training issue since he hadn't shown any interest but I should've known that once he made up his mind that he wanted to do it, there would be no looking back.  He did that with the pacifier, breast feeding and his beloved soft spouted sippy cup.  Each time he decided he was done with it, it was a "cold turkey" type of decision and each time he "quit" something, he never went back to it again.  So I'm very optimistic that he will be like that with potty training.  Now that he's decided that he's going to pee on the potty, I'm hoping that he will no longer want to do it in his diaper.  He did have some in his diaper from over night last night, but as far as going while he's awake, he's only gone in the potty since doing it the first time.  Very exciting stuff for this Mommy!  I'm living in my little bubble of positivity and continuing to hope and pray for more good news in the coming days and weeks =)
