A little over a week ago I started putting you on the toilet for a few minutes a day to get you used to sitting there. You didn’t seem to have too much of a problem. I’ve also been allowing you to run around without your pull-ups so you can get used to landing on your butt without a diaper. You loved the feeling of being free and would run around with the happiest look on your face. Until I put a clean pull-up on you.

Whenever I think you’re about to poop, I pick you up to put you on the toilet. It never worked because you were actually finished before I’d pick you up. Today was different. I caught you on time. You pooped in the toilet for the first time. I know that this doesn’t mean you’ll catch on right away, but this mama can hope, right? At least if I figure out your usual routine, I could save on pull-ups, water and baby wash. If you’re potty-trained within the next few months, you daddy and I would be the happiest parents on the face of the earth. So I was wondering, how much do you love making us happy?

She’s teething.

The fits are insane. She follows me around and then when I stop, she throws herself down to the ground. Added to that, school’s been out for a while so Niknik’s been home more and taking up more of my time. Dave’s been working both jobs with no days off, until today. I’ve been working on some stuff for my friend’s school project that I promised I would do and couldn’t back out of anymore. Plus, it’s that time of the month. Could you just see me breaking down really soon?

Too bad she didn’t teeth during the time the family was here, because then I’d get some help with her and everything else. Good thing is, Nik goes back to school tomorrow, I’ve finished the first part of the project, and Dave’s schedule is back to normal.

I feel so bad for her because there isn’t much we could do for her but give her some tylenol and console her. How do I know she is and was really teething this time? I’ve got proof. There’s a new tooth that just popped out.

That would make it tooth #7.

I know that just by posting this I’m jinxing myself, but I want to document this.

The past two days Maeby has been sleeping through the night. Normally she would wake up around 1:00AM and then again at 4:30AM or so. Then she gets up at 7:00AM and refuses to go back to sleep. After getting into bed past midnight every night, you may be able to imagine how tired I’ve been.

It’s been nice the past two mornings. I’ve been able to get just a little bit more sleep. I just hope that it continues. I need more sleep these days because I have to have the energy to keep up with Maeby and her big sister. They wear me out, but I love them. Believe me, they are lucky they are cute!!

Here’s a picture of Maeby wearing a cute t-shirt from a good friend of mine.

Believe me, she did.
