We had a funny experience the other day. I woke up one morning to Jackson screaming. Not just crying like he wanted to get out of bed... but screaming in a scary way. So, I jumped out of bed and ran to his room and his bed was empty. I couldn't find him but I could hear him screaming! I was so freaked out... then I realized, he was under his bed. He had at some point crawled under his little toddler bed (I had no idea he could even fit!) and when he woke up, he must have been very confused. Luis thinks he went under there because we had the fan on and he might have been cold. Haha, would have been easier to cover up with the 2 blankies he sleeps with! Anyways, we got a laugh out of it afterwards, but it was scary for a moment.
Ok, I need opinions. Jackson does a great job using the potty when we put him on it and for a while he was telling us when he had to go. Now he runs and hides when he has to go #2. I just bought a pack of size 6 diapers... which horrifies me! He is just too big to be in diapers! We have bought him a pack of underwear and I want to put him in them tomorrow. My theory is that if he has an accident he will be so disgusted by it that he will tell me again that he has to go. He can say "poopoo" and "peepee", so it's not like he can't let us know. I will take him every 2 hours or so anyways... but I need advice. Good idea, or not so good? I am sure I will have to deal with a bunch of accidents to begin with, but what if it works? I am so sick of diapers!
Jacob is teething! Some of the moms at speech therapy pointed out the signs. I haven't noticed because he is so young... 3 months today. But sure enough, he has 2 tiny white dots on his gums that are probably the reason behind all his recent fussiness. He has been sucking on his hands non-stop. Even right after he eats! And he chomps down on my fingers if I put them in his mouth. He is also drooling like crazy and completely soaks the front of his outfits. So, maybe soon we will see some teeth poking out! I need to go to the store and buy some teethers... I know Jacob is uncomfortable.

*SIGH* The joys of being a mom! That's hilarious that Jax crawled under his bed! But I'm sure it was traumatizing for him.
Potty training, hmmm, that's always a tough one. I think putting him in underwear is a good idea. I tried doing pull ups and to Brynnan it was just like wearing a diaper so he would still use it like a diaper. There were many accidents I can't even remember how many, but we finally got through it! He'll get the hang of it after a while. Brynnan had a lot of poop accidents in his pants, which is really disgusting, but he finally got it all down after a few months.
Wow, teething at 3 months? That's crazy!! I used numbing gel with Brynnan because he was so uncomfortable, but he did get hooked on it so be careful! Good luck!
