Madelyn lost her first tooth on Christmas Day! She had fallen at school a couple of times so her bottom front teeth were loose but she lost it while we were in Iowa......and swallowed it. I wasn't sure if it would bother her but so far, so good. Thankfully it's on the bottom so it's not overly noticeable as we aren't sure when her permanent tooth will be coming in! Even though she didn't have her tooth, the tooth fairy still made her way to Iowa and left a little present for Madelyn.
Jack's big news is he is potty trained!!! I honestly can't believe it. We have been asking him over the last year and he was never interested. They tried taking him at school - he didn't care. I thought when he moved to preschool that would peak his interest - no. I guess it's true when they say kids will be ready on their own time.
When we were at the Bishop Christmas Jack asked Ryan to take him potty. He has done this before but whenever we get to the bathroom he says "actually, I don't want to go" and then just leaves. But this night was different -- he sat and went potty! OMG, could this be the real deal?!?!?
Sunday we took him every hour, if not more. He went every time we took him and only had 2 accidents all day. So we decided to send him to school in undies on Monday.
Monday didn't go so well as he had 5+ accidents at school. I decided we needed to keep trying and if it didn't go well we could re-evaluate after the long New Years weekend. Much to our surprise, Jack didn't have any accidents on Tuesday and has only had 1-2 accidents since. It's been amazing. I had no idea that being done with diapers would be so freeing. He is so proud and we couldn't be more proud! Overnight our little Jack grew up and now he's going to be 3 in only a couple weeks. Where did my babies go?!?!?!?
