Toddler milestones

[2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)]

I've been mia for a bit... where is everyone with the toddler milestones?
Potty training
Big boy/girl beds
Night time potty training
What else?

[2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)]

We are on day 7 of potty training the oh crap method (book I think you guys recommended)
Going well, especially once we listened to the details like "don't pressure" lol
He did well with us, with my mom on her days, mil on her days and at day care!! Yay! He says potty when he has to go and is getting better at holding it til he's ready . Taking pants down himself is not going well

Once this is "done" or we feel comfortable, we r going to move r to the bigger bedroom and a toddler bed. This makes me nervous as he jumps around a lot before he settles at night .

Once that's set we will work on night training- he actually has been doing pretty well during naps and nights already (pretty dry compared to the past)

V is in a toddler bed with a rail. It was a little bit of a rough transition but passed quickly. He's fallen out twice, but we moved his rail so hopefully that won't happen again.

Potty training is not really on our radar right now. We have a little potty and a seat for the toilet. He will tell us occasionally he want has to go potty and we put him on there then. We also put him on there before bathtime. He has gone both pee and poo in the toilet, but mostly he sits then flushes immediately and wants off.

We probably won't start potty training for a while.

Other milestones he's climbing like a monkey, jumping off of things and opening doors. He's starting to make short sentences that are mostly understandable to non parents.

We're not pushing the potty training bc we got burned with the experience with N. A Is interested in it but it seems to be only when N goes. Then she says potty and sits on it (clothed). I'm going to let her guide us on when she's truly ready.

She is still in her crib and I think for her personality it's great. We are debating getting a pillow and see if she stays in one spot long enough for it to be in there lol.

Her vocab and sentance forming is improving!

This exactly except than she has a pillow in her crib! Lol

Dd1 was a big mover in her crib and bed once she got into it. LO basically picked a spot for her head at one year old and she stays in it all night pretty much.

We just bought a pillow a couple weeks ago. I don't think he really uses it.
Speech is good here too, seems like he's remembering so many words . His Sentences are still maybe a litle confusing for people he isn't around all the time

We start potty training Wednesday, also following Oh Crap.

Still in the crib. He loves it, literally tells me "I love my crib" so I'm not motivated to move him.

Recognizes all the letters and can tell you what sound the consonants make. Counts to 20, getting better at actually counting objects not just reciting numbers, can recognize numerals 0-9 but he gets confused that 10 isn't "one zero." His speech is ahead of the curve.

His last big developmental leap is pretend play. He picked up a large and small piece of bacon from his plate the other day, and told me the little one was a fish, and the big one was a shark, and then he had the shark chase the fish. Then he ate one and told me it was salty like the ocean haha.

Oh V can count from 3 to 10. And when he's in trouble and I count to three, he can count to three ahead of me saying it. But somehow when he counts to ten it always starts with three and no amount of coaxing will get him to start at one, lol.

Potty training - nope
Big boy/girl beds - nope
Night time potty training - nope

haha no plans for these things any time soon! when she asks to sit on the potty before her bath, she often goes and is proud of herself (has gone pee and poo), but if we offer it at other times, it's a no. and that's fine. i really don't want to push her. i'm anticipating her wanting to be a baby again in many ways when this baby is born, so i'm in no rush.

no issues with climbing out of crib yet and she loves being in there, so we're staying. she has a pillow and loves sleeping on it.

she talks nonstop, counts to 12 and then makes up #s, learning letters/sounds.

Potty training -- wants to sit on the toilet and then wipe his bum and flush. Has not yet peed in the toilet, just on the floor and not in the bathroom. I think it's a bit of a ways off. He's been pretty dry after naps.

Big bed-- toddler bed with a rail. He was falling out and not waking up so rail it was.

Nighttime potty training is far off.

Physically, he's doing great. Loves to run, jump, and climb. Verbal is getting better, but I'm still considering self-referring for EI. He has periodically stopped saying a word that he was using, and while he does start using it again later, the regression is concerning to me. Like around 21 months he stopped saying Dada and we were both Mama. He started saying Dada again around 23 months. Another example is he was saying Truck (but with an F sound, so it was hilarious), and then started calling every large vehicle a bus again. He's saying truck again now, but I don't think he should be dropping words.

I got DS a pillow around 24 months. He was having trouble sleeping and was enjoying laying on our pillows in the morning. I got it off of Amazon.
