Ugh, I guess it's time to update!
Last week we started potty training with little G. He had it from the moment we said go! Really, why fight it? Waiting until the kid is ready is ideal! It's been a breeze! He had been a little afraid of the icky #2, but we are over it and he is finished with diapers!
Seriously, bad mother that I am, I threatened to put him back in diapers when he wouldn't poop in the toity, he had no problem with that... until he had to pee, then he threw a fit because he wanted to do it in the toilet! So, not wanting to threaten that I had to find a new way to get him to poop on the potty.
Anyway, it's still work, even when they get it. I felt like I was constantly pulling pants down last week, he drinks a lot! I gave in and let him run nude, that way he could go all by himself.
Now the challenge is he wants to stand! Really, can a 2 year old 'aim'? Nope! We've tried! He wants to though! I guess anything is better than diapers right? I don't know, only worrying about changing a kid a few times a day is a lot less than every 15 minutes!!! :)
On a sadder note, my Lenni never made it into town. Major bummer! I was so looking forward to, and really needed time with her! I can't complain because she does come out to see me. I'll just be grateful and hope to see her soon. Really, it is so wonderful when she comes to visit!
This week should be good. The dance 'break' is over. I really have come to rely on that time for myself each week. I need it! I can't wait for tonight!
Happy Monday to all!
