I wanted to do something fun and creative on my blog for the twenty ninth of February, but I couldn't think of anything to say...so this is it.
29 words. That's all I have.

Chances Are...
We like to share in our family. We share laughs, good news, bad news, hugs, love, kisses, prayers, celebrations...we share everything. Even birthdays.
If you're somehow linked to our family...chances are, you don't celebrate your birthday alone. We have some C.R.A.Z.Y birthday connections.
Growing up, we used to think it was funny that we had several birthdays that fell in December, and several in March. We thought it was cool that so many of us shared birthday months. Now...many of us share birthday DAYS. Crazy stuff.
All of the people below are somehow connected in my pretty immediate family. Take a gander at these connections...
Jacob and Grandpa---Grandfather and grandson---My cousin and my grandpa
Rachel and Uncle Ron----Father and Daughter----My uncle and my cousin
Kim and Glenn----Husband and Wife----My sister and brother-in-law
Michaela and Tyler----Cousins to one another----Both my cousins
Samantha and Great Grandpa-Great Great Grandpa and Granddaughter-My Great Grandpa and cousin
Brady and Big Dave----(Not actually related to one another)----My nephew and my father in law
William and New Baby----Cousins to one another----My cousin and his cousin
All in one family. (Mostly) What are the chances?!?!?!?!
I told you we share everything.

Fear Of The Flush
Ok....not really a fear of the flush...just a fear. As in a screaming, legs straight out, arms go rigid, real tears falling, whole body shaking, fear.
Of going potty on the big boy potty.
There has been no trauma. There have been no mishaps. There have been no splashes hitting the bum. There has been nothing. N.O.T.H.I.N.G.
We have slowly been building up to going potty on the big boy potty. We talk about it. We look at it. We flush it. We do everything but the deed.
As mentioned before...Reilly's favorite topic is poop. He announces when he has to go. He announces as he's going. He announces when he's done. Everyone who sees it, has the same reply..."Oh, he'll be an easy one to potty train. He's ready."
Nope. Not ready. Not at all.
Every time we try to go potty, it is a complete meltdown. Real tears. His whole little body shakes. He screams. It's awful and it's heartbreaking. We have the potty seat. We've tried to just hold him. We sing songs. We count. We distract using toys. Nothing helps. I think my poor child is traumatized by the toilet.
It's time to reach out to others. What are the potty training tricks? My poor boy can't be in diapers forever.
