The Lonely Potty

Originally uploaded by -gadgetgirl-

OK, We’ve watched the Potty Power videos! We have the kid potty and the potty seat to put on top of the toilet. We have the pull-ups (which make no difference to my daughter). We have the Cinderella underpants.
She sleeps throughout the night without wetting her diaper. This is a great sign […]

There is nothing like both of your children asleep at the same time!
I take full advantage and take a 20 minute power nap alongside them.
You can’t call me lazy–my infant wakes me up in the middle of the night. Interrupted sleep interferes with REM making your sleep-time not as productive which in […]

Do all parents covet sleep like me or am I the only one? My bedtime is the most precious and valuable thing to me besides my family of course.
Last night, I chose to see a late movie making the burden of babysitting easier on my husband. At nightime, the two-year old […]

Potty Time

I expect potty training to be difficult but I didn’t realize it would take so long for my daughter to even start the process. My daughter is 2 1/2 now and she still has not done her business on the potty. I’m not worried, I know she will use the potty one day.
That’s the funny […]

My daughter’s favorite word is, “MINE”! It was one of her first words. This is unfortunately a four-letter word for toddlers. Or you’d think so after the looks I get from other Mommies.
The word is really taken out of context because she doesn’t truly understand what she’s saying at […]

Magic

 We’re starting Love & Logic  Parenting.  I’ve got some CD’s and I’m trying to absorb all the content.  I need to stop being in battle all day with my 2 year old.  I had 3 close friends recommend this approach…so here goes. 
Instead of yelling, I would use empathy for discipline.  For example: Uh-Oh, That’s so […]

A Little Consultation

OK, so I have no idea what to do with my unruly 2 year old child. We’re really struggling with transitioning.
Every single time we go to leave the park, zoo, swimming pool, or a friends’ house she refuses to listen. She ignores me at first, then once I […]

HOME SWEET HOME

I’m such a home-body, which is a good thing because I’m taking part of my favorite career, a Mother.
I don’t have any alarm clocks with scheduled times to wake me up. Just a two year old’s beautiful eyes and the sweet coos from my son waking me up every morning. A little early at times […]
