Ammon the walker and Potty training

I have been so bad at blogging! I needed to do this one about Ammon weeks ago! This is a picture taken a month ago. Ammon is now 13 1/2 months old and is toddling around everywhere now. He occasionally crawls but mostly he walks now. He is my longest one to walk. Aidan and Kael walked at nine months, Kalli walked at 11 months and Aaron walked right around the time he turned a year old. So anyway, I'm thinking-it's about time!!! He is just growing right up. I weaned him right after his first birthday and he does great with a cup. I'm sad that my baby is growing so fast but happy he is making progress. I made excuses why to put off Aaron's potty training and weaning Ammon was one of them. Now that it is done and I have no more excuses to make!!! I started Thursday right after Aaron's well check at the doctor. I told him that the doctor said that he was a big boy now and he needed to wear big boy underwear instead of diapers. And since the doctor did say that too him, he has been going around telling us that he is a big boy now! It has been tough though. The accidents are lots and I have to work hard on being patient and being positive. I was dragging him by the arm into the bathroom and he was screaming, "I can't, I can't!" I said,"Yes you can!" I sat him him on the toliet and he went and he was so proud. I just need to build him confidence because this is hard for him too. He asked for his diaper back on only one time and I reassured him that he didn't need his diaper. I wish I was brave enough to take him out in public without a pullup but I am not ready yet. He tries harder when he is in his underwear to stay dry. I know this is just a process and we will get through it but potty training is not my favorite!!!
