HOORAY!!! It appears my temporary employment has been extended. Well, if we can get the paperwork through our HR office.
Next week would have been my last week at my job. After my husband got laid off, I got my old job back as part-time temporary with an approximate end date of August 7th. Which is next week. I found out yesterday that they would like for me to stay on for a while longer with no definite end date. I can do that. For now. Hubby has an interview on Thursday morning (if we can find someone to watch our two kids for real cheap!) for a possible job. I hope something happens for him soon. But it is also a relief to know that my job will last longer. We will be able to continue to pay bills and buy groceries. And diapers.
Which reminds me. I am so wishing I could be done with diapers. My son is almost 19 months old. He will tell me when he is poopie. Or he will go into his bathroom and sit on the little potty and go poo-poo. He even tells me "I poo-poo." So I am wondering if he is about ready to be potty trained. But how to do a boy? Teach him sitting at first then standing? Teach standing for #1 and sitting for #2? What if he has to do #1 and #2 at the same time? It was so much easier with my daughter. I just let her run around without a diaper for a few days and she went in the potty every time. I just do not trust my son at all for that. The doctor said to wait til my son is closer to 3 years old to start with him on that. Really??? My daughter was potty trained long before that. I obviously have no clue what I am doing.
But on a good note, I did find out that my local Harris Teeter sells whole vanilla beans on its spice aisle. And Wegman's website says they sell vanilla beans as well. Yay!

That is awesome that your job is extended!
I have never had a boy, of course, but what I have heard from other friends with boys is that they do take longer to potty train than girls. But really, just go with their natural rhythms. If he is already showing you he knows what to do with a potty, I say why not start potty training now?
I don't have any advice for potty training boys, but YAY for the extension on your job assignment. Good luck to your husband on his interview as well.
At work, most of the 2 year old boys are already close to being potty trained, if not already done. They have to be done before thay can go to the 3's class.
