Potty training can be so frustrating. I almost don't remember it being quite this hard with Travis. Jacob knows how to go raise the lid, take off his pull-up, and stand there, but he hasn't figured out how to actually GO. It just won't come out. He wants to go in there 15 times, trying over and over, so I guess that's a good thing. He has seen Travis go a million times, so maybe he knows what to do, we just don't time it just right. I need to be more consistant about taking him in there every 30 minutes on the dot, without fail. I keep telling myself he will finally get potty trained, shoot, just this past week Travis FINALLY decided to go to sleep in his very own bed without crying, without having to have someone lie down with him, without having to be rocked to sleep first, but of course he's now 4 and a half, and I'd kinda hate for Jacob to wait until he's 4 and a half to get outta diapers!!!!

In other news, we went to see "Glory Road" on Friday night. I almost hate to say this, but I enjoyed it better than "Walk the Line". The ending gave me chill bumps and got a little misty-eyed with a huge grin on my face. I could only sit there and imagine what that would feel like...a National Championship. The thing is, this year it's not so much out of our reach. But I know, I'm dreaming. At least I'm allowed that much. What was really neat was Saturday night when the Tigers played SMU, Coach Cal on the pre-game show talked about going to see the same movie on the same night we saw it, and he said he was sitting in the corner with his tissues, bawling like a baby. Even some of his players were crying. Basketball fan or no, go see it!

I guess for me now it's back to potty training, laundry and dishes. The joys of being a Mom! :-)
