Happy 4th?

Well, we hope everyone had a fantastic 4th of July! We had the brilliant idea to start potty training since we had a long weekend. Things started out really bad. We went through 6 pair of underwear in 3 hours. Jared had to make a run to Wal-Mart to get more supplies. We thought that it would be a better idea to go straight to underwear from diapers, because Caelan refers to the pull-ups as diapers. After the morning fiasco we thought maybe we were a little soon to start this whole process, but said we would give it a couple of days to work on it. On the night of the 4th we went to Jared's parents to have dinner and go to the fireworks show. Boy was this a bad idea! When we got ready to go see the fireworks some were already being shot off in the circle and Caelan flipped out! He wouldn't look at anyone and had a death grip of the person who was holding him. It took us until 11 pm that night to get him to sleep. Every time he would get to sleep he would wake up and start screaming "I scared!" We thought it was just the noise and thought we would take him to the fireworks at the Country Club. He did the same thing. Needless to say, we have taken a step backwards with potty training until we can get his fear of fireworks under control! He is still waking up this week during the middle of the night screaming. I hope this ends soon for all of our sakes!
