Potty for Mack, Crying for Jack

Mackie's officially wearing underpants!! She has decided she doesn't want diapers anymore and is doing great. She only wears them at night and for naps when she takes them. It's jelly beans people, give your kids jelly beans. That's what did it for her. She loves her jelly beans. Although we are done with them now, it did do the trick. She even sits on big potty's and everything. Ahh, three years ago, we'd never would have believed we'd be so excited to see someone use the potty. Way to go Mack...we're so proud!

On the other hand, our little Jackson has had a really rough few days/weeks. All he does is cry. He cries 75% of the day. I called the doc today and they are convinced it's just his teeth. Who knows, he thrusts his head back and just screams all the time. We think one thing and then another. We just hope he gets happier soon. We feel so bad for the little guy, and mom's patience is running thin :)

Hopefully we can get Rachel on the potty bandwagon soon as well. That is awesome. Sorry to hear about Jackson... I feel for you Lisa.

Sadly, you make me feel so much better, Lisa. I'm not the only one dealing with a little boy crying all day. I hope Jack perks up soon.
