The Cutest Little Dragon Ever!

We went to Utah for Halloween. I was ready for a change of scenery and Jackson wanted to see his grandparents and cousins. He was the cutest little dragon, and he was so excited about this. He ran around the house chasing his princess cousins (cinderella and Ariel) and liked to roar and scare everyone.
He was very excited about trick or treating! It was pouring rain in the evening so I sent him with his dad and his cousins and I stayed inside with Lila. He really liked it of course, because he loves candy. This age is so fun because he is really starting to understand things, he gets very excited about things and he is great at communicating with us. We have the funniest conversations!

Jackson had a very exciting month because he is POTTY TRAINED!! I was so worried about doing this, especially with a newborn baby. But it was the easiest thing ever! I'm amazed what a sticker chart, some treats and a lot of praise will do with this kid. We bought him some fun character underwear and some stickers and treats and when we got home and he said, "I want to use the potty" and he pooped three times. We weren't planning on starting until the next day, but he started on his own. The next day we let him throw away his diapers and wear his underwear, he had a total of two pee accidents and that is it, and that is still all he has had. We have been using pull ups at night because we really didn't want to deal with night time yet, but on his own he started waking up to tell us to use the potty, so he stays dry at night too. What a kid!...and what a huge relief for me!

What a cute dragon! How old is Jackson? That is so nice that potty training was so easy. I'm looking forward to that time.
