tooth 2 and assorted other sentences

[flea]

Tooth 2 is arriving as a partner to tooth #1.

Casper has been out of diapers completely for about 3 weeks. She is dry overnight 100%, no pee accidents, and we've washed a fair number of poopy panties out, but she almost always makes most of the poop in the potty. And really, increasingly, all of it. She is VERY proud when she poops in the potty.

So when does the butt-wiping end? Experienced parents?

Dillo had one of those poops that escapes the diaper and goes up the back today. I was wiping shit off his shoulder blades.

I didn't intend this entry to be all about poop. Sorry.

I am really exceptionally tired. And my mother this morning in the weekly phone call managed to get in digs about Dillo's sleeping AND Casper's hair. Go team undermining Mother!

Dillo is advancing on the path to crawling - he gets up on his hands and knees and rocks. Often in bed in the middle of the night.

I wish Dillo would get over this damned head cold/teething/crawling thing and sleep well again. And by "well" I would be willing to settle for no hour-long cryfest at 2 am every night.

I did manage to dig deep and take the kids out today, to see Lion dancing and Chinese yo-yo at the art museum. This was good.

I shouldn't complain - there's very little wiping when the poop actually goes in the potty! Gosh, it's nice.

True! That's a good thing.

Owen's *just* started really noticing his potty. I bought him a nicer, newer one with a lid (think he wasn't making the connection with the large toilet and the pictures in his books with basic model we first bought).

I also got him "Elmo's Potty Time" video and he asked to sit on the potty first thing this morning! Of course, he was fully clothed when he flipped the lid and sat down, I was still thrilled.

Still, long road ahead of us but I'm just relieved (no pun intended) that he's showing interest on his own.

Take all advantage of his fixation with nudity. When we anticipate that a poop is coming, we take Casper's pants off. She'll poop in panties, but she draws the line at pooping on the floor (thank god.)
