forevermorgan, I'm sorry for the bad news. I hope all the planning and surgery goes smoothly- keep us updated! I would definitely send the message.
@wafflesfriendswork, hugs. It's a hard transition but I'm sure y'all will get into a routine soon and it will be great for all of you.
cornpop311, this has been covered, but: your aunt is being a bitch. I think that's an amazing gift and I'm sure your mom treasures it. Hugs on this hard day.
mnj05, this kid is replying to his parents' emails?! Umm, yeah, nope. He's just digging himself a deeper hole.

The kid got consequences from mom so he decided to email me, I'm sure without his mom knowing. I just forwarded it to his mother, told her I'd be talking to him tomorrow, and offered a conference with the two of them. He's just pissed he got in trouble. He's very entitled and didn't think I'd ever contact home.

forevermorgan - I'm sorry you didn't get good news. I'd message the retired pedi too.
@wafflesfriendswork - hugs, I agree with sending her more if you can. Even on breaks from school, I send my boys at least half the time to keep normalcy in their little world.
yl - I really need to grow a backbone and ask for what I want too. I'm so afraid of someone being unhappy with me. I'll get over that eventually right?!

NCU yet... I impulse-bought a pair of white Capri maternity pants which looked super cute in store, but now I'm thinking that white pants plus my toddler is gonna equal bad bad things. Especially given that he frequently wipes his hands off on my pants if they get too dirty. So I could return them, but they are comfy and a nice alternative to jeans now that the weather is getting warmer. WWJ15D? Keep them? Return them? Dye them black??
We've been working on potty training. UGHHHH. Its a nightmare. I probably should have waited but I can't go back now. She's been out of diapers for two weeks (except night and nap). She comes to me when she has to go and says, "pee, pee, pee" "in the potty", but then she has trouble letting the pee out... Its terrible. We've been working with a consultant and its getting better slowly. Tonight we have our second consultation with her.
She was just getting these terrible rashes all the time and I really can't smell when she poops. So when she showed interest I just decided to go for it.
Anyway I've been holding that in. Please don't tell me it's too early. I know.... I wish we had waited :/ But when she is in a diaper she does the same thing "pee, pee, pee, potty, potty, potty". So I don't want to tell her just go in your diaper!
We're in a similar spot with Bill. He keeps demanding to go on the potty. But once he's on it takes a million year for him to go. I keep debating whether we should just go for it and ditch the diapers or wait another 6 months. I have no idea what to do. I'm not exactly thrilled about the idea of potty training now, but I don't want to miss the opportunity if this is it.

lawandorder it depends on the pants. ;-) there have been a few instances where I'll be in the kitchen and then I hear him calling me and I'll find him naked from the waist down on the toilet. If it's poop, he will usually go right away, but the pee thing is very hit or miss. I cannot imagine him using a toilet in public though, and DNW to carry around a portable potty. *barf*
I think part of it is that he really loves washing his hands afterwards?

lawandorder not sure I'm a potty training expert! Ds1 trained at 2 1/3. So many accidents. Didn't poop in the potty till 3 1/4. That's a lot of poop in underwear.
Ds2 trained at 22 months as he showed interest. Still lots of accidents but had the hang of it mostly by 2.25.
But I was pulling pants up and down on both till close to 3. And always reminding to go potty. I did a 3 day method with both that involved only being in the kitchen for 3 days and lots of wine for mommy.
Based on all this- I'll be waiting with O. He's interested. We let him sit on it before bed at bath after bed etc, but don't stress and no pressure. I help him recognize if he's peeing or pooping in his diaper or bath.
He doesnt have the verbal skills either at this point. My friends that have waited until close to three say it literally can take a day or 2 and then no accidents. So for the foreseeable future I'm on that train.
@traceyos chiming in late but I used the oh crap book for DD1. She was 3 1/2 and did NOT want to train at all. I was desperate and it worked well for us. I'm just waiting to get a weekend that I can commit to everything with Ella. I was skeptical before of the three day method but it was what we needed. I don't think we went a whole month without panties after but she was quite a bit older too.
