We are having a hard time weening Ed from his binky. We don't give it to him unless he is sleeping or in the car, but he wines so much throughout the day that we want to give it to him, but we don't. The only thing is, is that Bailey still uses one but she doesn't like it unless she is tired. So, if anyone has any suggestions on what we could try I am open.
Also we are trying to potty train him too but he doesn't want anything to do with the toilet. We have tried some stuff but it hasn't worked. So, if any of you moms or dads or aunts or uncles or whoever have suggestions pleeeeaaaaasssssseeeee let me know.
Okay, so to catch you all up on what is going on, since I am so bad at writing. We just had our first long period away from Ed. My mom asked it she could keep him for a week, so I finally talked Tony into letting her. Oh man he wanted to go get him after one day. Ed however was having a fun time. But after a week he wanted to come home which made us excited because we missed him.
But we did like having that time to spend with Bailey who is starting to walk more and more. She is growing up so fast. But Tony insist that we are done and aren't having any more, but I am not sure if I want to be done. But for right now we are done. At least till I get a job and get settled. Okay stop rambling.
Oh, I better also say that Tony had his first game of the season on Saturday and he was so excited and even more so when the guys won. I just thought I would share that wiht you all.

Well, I can only share my experience-because I am by no means an expert! But, I would probably stick with one thing at a time, since binkies are a used for self-soothing, maybe save that battle for another day and work on the potty first. I don't know...but I found it really helps to set aside a weekend (or a group of days where you will be around all day) and just make the potty training a huge deal (almost like a party--even give him a treat or sticker when he goes). Just let him drink a lot and sit him down often. I have found with my two, once they realized the sensation of not having a diaper on, they kind of figured out how things work. But we still use pull-ups for nap and bed. But if he is fighting it a lot, then maybe he just isn't ready...
Oh, and my neighbor had a lot of success with making a big deal about her son turning the water yellow. I know we taught Jaron to pee sitting first and standing when he was a bit bigger...
Potty training can be so tough!!!! I feel your pain! Babycenter.com and other sites have some good info as well. :) Good luck and let us know how it goes!
I don't know, just my thoughts :) I hope it helps.
