A huge step in potty training

This is no doubt a day to remember when Aaron was diaper free all day except nap time and at night. I am so proud of my little boy that he is finally understanding the concept of going potty when he needs to.  He has been in diaper way too long and I feel like he could have been potty trained much sooner if he was in daycare.  It's a little bit of my fault to keep him in diaper when he's capable of using the potty. I feel like using diaper is much more convenient and hygienic especially when the outside bathroom is not all that clean.

Anyways, I hope he can stay dry for an entire week before preschool starts so that I can send him to school fully potty trained.  :)



He's becoming such a big boy already :(((

First semi-private swimming lesson

Aaron started his very first semi-private swimming lesson with a new teacher called Matt.  He seems to have trust in Matt right away when the lesson starts.  It's amazing to see that Aaron is able to follow commands and do exactly what he was asked to do.  He has been taking mommy and me swimming classes for such a long time I feel like he might advance in a faster pace if I weren't there holding him in the water.

I wish I switched Aaron to the semi-private lesson with the new teacher sooner as he showed disinterest in the previous teacher.  Kids truly do not hide their emotions and would tell you if they don't like certain things or people.  I should have listened to Aaron earlier and found him another teacher so that he could focus on learning.  Lesson learned and I will try to listen to his needs more from now on.

Swimming off with the new teacher right away







He did so awesome that he earned a terrific turbo
