{Last Week}

Last week was quite the adventure.

On Monday Noah had surgery to remove his adenoids and put ear tubes in.  Our plan was to stay home all week and let him recover.

On Tuesday morning he was doing GREAT (thanks to some super-special Tylenol with codeine) and found his stash of mickey underwear while I was cleaning out his room and told me >>> "I wear underwear!".

ALRIGHTY THEN. 

and thanks to our official "potty training prize counter" version 2.0, we were accident free by Thursday.

(i love the ease of this 2nd child!)

N's PT loot stash wasn't nearly as extensive as Evan's was 3 years ago, but we quickly figured out that this kid would do just about anything for a new "Mcqueen kachow" toy (aka anything lightning mcqueen).

It's been five and a half years straight that we have been buying diapers (even though we used lots of cloth during N's first year) and I can not believe that we are on the verge of being diaper-free (after we get a better handle on the night time).

The timing of N's undies request could not have been better - since he was back to feeling like crap by late Thursday night once we transitioned off of the super-strength Tylenol.  The rest of the weekend was spent on the couch and doing lots of "hold choo" (aka hold you) time in his chair just rocking.

love him, and here's to a better week ahead, less ear infections and lots of cute mickey undies!

Awww poor little guy. I had the same operation when I was child (I was 7 though). I'd suffered from terrible ear aches for years and once I had adnoids out and the tubes put in, no more ear aches :) Hope it's the same for him!

Hope Noah is on the mend soon.
I love the idea of the prize counter, might have to try that when my little guy is ready for potty training, something tells me he won't be as easy going as his sister was!

Hope he is feeling much better this week and YAY for no more nappies(diapers).

My baby girl has this done earlier last year. She is just three, it's made a big difference, I hope it's the same for Noah. He'll be feeling right as rain soon!
All the best
