Potty Traning: Day 2

Posted by Ida , Thursday, July 15, 2010

Madelyn has been waking up around 4AM the past few night, nursing, then falling back to sleep until 6:15. Mommy could definitely get used to that!

Mommy slept in William's room last night to be there if he needed to go potty through the night. He didn't stir at all and woke up with, not too wet, but pee smelling clothes and bedding. It appears he is too young to even be woken by the need to use the bathroom.

Mimi came over around 9:30 to help ease up the potty training demand on Mommy. She also brought her lovely Dyson which Mommy used to vacuum during naps. Mommy loves the Dyson! Mimi left during naps and came back later since Daddy was going to be home late. She was so awesome and bought take out from Pizza Plant for Mommy and Daddy!

Mommy wishes these pictures weren't blurry. They are great otherwise!

Today was a better day for accidents, but it seems that William is holding not only his poop, which is very common, but his pee too. He went without going pee or poop from 4:00PM to bed time, which was late tonight - 8:30. He is in a pull up so Mommy hopes that he does his business overnight or else her little guy is going to be in a bit of pain tomorrow. Not only that, it will make tomorrow's training even more difficult.

Madelyn isn't really enjoying the potty training. She seems to be bored with being in the house and looking for more to do. The only time she is totally engaged is when the TV is on for William. Mommy would like to refrain from allowing her TV like William until 18months, but doesn't see that happening without a big fight. The alternative would be to limit William's TV to Madelyn's nap time. Maybe since cable is being cut that wouldn't be such a bad idea.

The big red truck arrived at its new home today. Daddy got home from the dealer around 6:30 or so with his new used Chevy Silverado! It appears that William loves the pick-up more than Daddy. He pressed every button, turned every knob and found everything that could be opened.

Quote of the day:
Mommy talking to William: "What do you want with your chicken?"
William: "Marga."
Mommy: "What's that?"
William: "Marga, margarita!"
