It's Potty Training Time!

I cannot believe we are at this point in Little Red's life. It doesn't seem like she is old enough or I am experienced enough but it's here. I got the word yesterday that Little Red will start wearing big girl panties at school.

I actually think school wanted to start Monday but we were out on Friday and didn’t get the note. Opps. Of course, in Little Red fashion- she did perfect at school. No accidents at all at school, but she had one accident at home last night and one this morning. She cried for like an hour when she got home yesterday so I think the pressure must be hard on her. I can't imagine going into school one day and learning you will have to change your "functions" that day. It must be weird for a little person hearing that. I tried to prep her as much as possible but who knows how she really felt. She is like an angel at school and when she gets home she just has to decompress. I just hope it’s not too much. Her brain is so full already I hope this doesn’t put her back as far as development. I am totally winging it and probably not doing the right motherly thing but I told her if she doesn’t have any accidents at school today she can have a special treat (her version of asking for candy). So she might be fat from all the candy I have promised her but at least she will be potty trained.

On another note, it has been a long time since I have posted. Not for any reason inparticular, I thnk I have just felt uninspired and been busy on top of that. Now that summer is in full swing, we have had great changes at work, and there longer sunlight in the day- I am feelng better. :)

  2. Yes Idlewild was fabulous about the whole thing! I couldn't have asked for a better support system for potty training.
