Elsy’s Stay at Home Mom Blog

Today I have added two categories. Home and Decorating Projects. Anything having to do with re-decorating including but not limited to painting rooms adding decor pieces, lighting, flowers, curtains, color, texture and such will be under this tab.

Adding things like the porch, making a bench or other furniture, garden, adding walls or knocking down walls for that matter will be under the Home Projects.

I really want to focus my site into everything that happens to this Stay At Home Mom. I realize that a big part of my job is to make our house be a home for my family and I want to share the projects we start and the accomplishments in finishing these projects.

I want my kids to be able to read back and see everything we all did when they were just babies and have everlasting memories of that.

I do hope that all my readers enjoy my posts and are always coming back for more!

Okay, so it has been about a week and a half since I started potty training Mikey. I have to say that this time around it has been much easier, me not being pregnant and all. Mikey also seems more receptive to the idea. Whenever I am home I make sure he is wearing underwear and I have him sit in the potty about every 30-45 minutes.

He does not know the difference between going number 1 or 2 but has done both. That makes me a very happy Mom. Especially, since he gets really exited when he goes potty. I am doing so much better this time around that I am thinking of potty training my 23 month old at the end of the summer.

I definitely think that Mikey will be ready for school in September. To be honest, that is the reason why I wanted to start with him since it’s a requirement that he be potty trained by then. Otherwise he could not start school. No doubt, he will be ready.

I got him spider man underwear and he is very careful not to get them dirty, needless to say that is a big help. He is really doing great!

The one thing I need to work on next is getting him to sit in the regular toilet. He seems to be afriad of it. I think that when that happens he will be ready to go out in public with no problems. “Till then, potty training is strictly at home at this time. I can’t wait ’till he’s ready for the “world”!
