Sunday afternoon I officially took down the crib. For the past couple weeks he was already sleeping on the mattress on the floor but, next to his crib. That was going well and really he couldn't fit in the crib anymore...so my mom had an old twin bed laying around that is now officially his big boy bed!

Also, so begins the potty adventures. I've been hesitant - I have no idea what I'm doing!!! But he's starting to not like wearing diapers so its getting to be a game trying to get him in a diaper. And he's starting to tell me when he has to go, so here we are!
I'm sure there's a better, sure fire, way to get him potty trained. But for a couple days it seriously felt like I was trying to potty train a puppy. I mean- LITERALLY- if he forgot to tell me and started peeing, I picked him up like a puppy and ran to the bathroom. Probably not the best way, so next method - naked bottoms and potty breaks every hour.
I've been talking to a few friends and it seems like everyone's giving treats for potty activities. Which again, to me feels like I'm training a puppy hahaha but it seems to work for them so that may be implemented for him too. It's a little weird because to be consistent we'll have to coordinate with me, his dad, my mom and my fam, the sitter and her family, and all the other various people who get thrown in to watch him during the day. (well..that kind of explains how he learned to be so social doesn't it...)
Crossing my fingers and jumping right in!
