This, that and the other

So it's been a while...  Sorry I haven't posted in a couple weeks!

So here's an update on potty training (I know you were just dying to know!)...

• Little man has been doing very well! A lot better than the last time I posted anything about it.  My husband figured out that if you tell our son he'll get a few pieces of candy if he goes #2 in the potty- he'll do it! Judge me if you will, but hey- it's worked!
• Also- the sticker chart has made a come back... I had stopped giving stickers for going #1 (because he had pretty much gotten the hang of it- or so I thought..) but have begun to dish them out again.  Like most kids in the process, I'm sure, they all have their accidents because they don't want to take a break to go potty if they're playing or watching a movie. This is what my son has been doing. He gets so caught up playing he forgets to go to the actual potty and just has an accident... so this is why the stickers have made a come back. So far, so good.
• I'm still a proud momma!

Moving on....

Have you heard of/seen the commercial for these---

I am obsessed with these!  My favorite ones are the Strawberry Watermelon and the Berry Pomegranate.  I absolutely love flavored water- it's probably my favorite drink (next to sweet tea, of course).  My son also likes them too.  He thinks I'm giving him juice.  These are also really good added to sparkling water (like Clear American-this is the brand I usually get. You can find it at Wal-Mart and I'm sure at other grocery stores, as well.  They come in lots of great flavors.)

If you haven't had a chance to try these- you most definitely should!

So another thing I'm really enjoying right now are my new Sperry shoes!  I got these a couple of weeks ago and wear them all the time.  They are super comfy, are a great summer shoe, and go great with a number of things!  I love 'em!


So what I'm not loving right now is the weather.....  It seriously hasn't really rained here since I think February. February! Isn't that nuts?!  It did rain last week for a couple days, but not enough to really do anything.  What's really crappy is that since it hasn't rained in so long... pretty much the entire Houston area is, and has been on for a while now, on a burn ban. With it being the 4th this coming Monday.... that means no fireworks! HUGE bummer! I love fireworks and am so sad we won't be able to have any this year :(  Guess we'll just have to watch them on tv this time...

So there's what I'm diggin' now and what's a bummer..  Hope you enjoyed!

Hope you all have a lovely 4th! Hopefully you'll be able to enjoy  fireworks where you live (enjoy 'em for me too :) )
