Jack is nearly finished potty training. He's making it to the potty more often than not and wearing underwear most of the day. What cracks me up is his excitement and enthusiasm for his accomplishment each and every time he uses the potty. He claps for himself and says, "Yay, Jack! That was excellent! Great Job!" He even uses words like "Awesome!" in reference to his use of the potty.
I spend so much time being critical of myself that I usually just think, "Well, that's good enough for now." I am not sure when I quit giving myself a pat on the back for the many things I manage to do in a day, but I'm going to try to give myself some credit once in a while! Yeah, I may not be on that treadmill every single day, but I'm on it a lot more than I was last year! Yeah, I may fall off the diet bandwagon a day or two a week, but I get back on it! Yeah, I may ruin dinner once in a while but I'm cooking for my family way more than I ever have! There are many things I could do better, and I continue to strive for improvement at home and at work, but maybe the accomplishment lies in not giving up. So, for now, "Yay, Kathy. Great Job!"

Yay Jack!!! I love how proud he is of himself. I had a dream last night about your blog...you had posted a video of Jack telling a scary story. Weird huh? Anyway, I agree that you should pat yourself on the back more. Look at all you have done!! Yay Kathy!!
Kathy, I love reading your blog. I'm glad you're keeping it up. Congrats to Jack. There's nothing better than being done with diapers.
Love ya,
Lea
