It's Tuesday: Return of Daily Randoms

[penguin129]

Good morning ladies! Many of us have been missing the daily randoms so here they are Anyone can start them at anytime. What's going on in your world today?

[penguin129]

DD is pretty much potty trained. She's been going on the potty for a week today. She hasn't had any accidents when we are shopping in public (meaning her pull up stays dry). She did have an accident once on Sunday at my il's but I think it is because I wasn't there with her to keep reminding her to go potty. I can't believe it happened so fast.

So much to do with not enough time to do it, so I need to evaluate my plan for the next few days. Right now, I just wish I were sleeping in.

I'm not even trying to tackle naps or bedtime with the potty training yet. I just want to get during the day taken care of.

penguin129 I'm glad she's doing so well potty training! I wouldn't worry about nap/bedtime. She'll get there when she's ready.

Dreary day here too. I think it's supposed to be rainy and cool all week. I'm on day 4 of having a hoarse voice or no voice at all. Very frustrating because I think the kids are pretending they can't hear me and just ignoring me. I could use a long nap and someone else in charge of the kids for a bit.

Do any of you baby wear or did you? I just bought a used mai tai style carrier and am overwhelmed. Any advice or sites with information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I do not have a Mai tai but I do love to wear my LO. Do you have a BWI chapter near you? They are on Facebook as well. I'm not sure if there is a group on here or not. There are a lot of active baby wearing folk on my BMB.

I used a moby when he was little as well as a ring sling. Now I use my Beco Gemini which I love!

penguin129 - did you get the Infantino one or a fancy-schmancy one? I have the Infantino and feel like it's pretty similar to using an Ergo but you tie it instead.
With any carrier, I've found YouTube to be a great resource. Sorry I don't have anything more specific.

I bought one that was made by a WAHM. She has a shop on Etsy but it closed in 2010. My friend sold it to me because her daughter grew out of it and I'm pretty sure they're done having kids, they have 3. She told me it needed love. It ties in the front around the waist on the bottom and make a an x over the shoulders and behind the back and ties around the front. If that makes any sense.

penguin129 Yay for the potty training! Still no clue when to start with DD1 haha

[younglove316]

I am in a horrible mood tonight. DD2 has slept like absolute crap the last 3 nights and I'm exhausted. Today she has also been fighting naps except for one OK one. I know she needs one now except she's just screaming at me. I'm so stressed out. I don't get why she just won't sleep.

Yay!

We're on day 12 here.  He hasn't had a single accident outside the house, which I'm counting as a huge success.  The last three days were an absolute disaster at home, though, and I was a wreck over it.  But this morning, no accidents, so hopefully it was just a thing.  Biggest problem is he still doesn't have a handle on how to undress himself.

[penguin129]

tincupchalice That's where I'm lucky I guess. I've been putting DD in a short dress or a t-shirt and underwear around the house. Could you put him in a t-shirt and underwear when you're at home?

We're doing commando if we aren't naked.  His pants are super loose too now that there's no diaper lol.  He's a small two though, so it's just a learning process.

penguin129 - the Infantino sounds very similar.
younglove316 - I can't ever remember, your LO is an infant, right? Are you going through the sleep regression? We went through that a couple of months ago and it was horrible. But there's an end. Eventually. I don't do well with little sleep so I feel for you.

We might be, she's 5.5 months currently. Last time was only two wake ups and my husband was off today so he helped. Yeah, mama needs her sleep haha
