Good morning everyone! My parents left yesterday which made me really sad. It was a lot of fun having them here. DDs party was fun and she got a lot of outside toys. They are right when they say that the toys just get bigger as they get older. I have seen everyone talking about potties, is it that time already? LO will run into his room after he poops his pants to get a diaper change but he doesn't really act that interested in the potty otherwise. kcrus did your 2nd kid potty train faster because they saw the older kids doing it?

Yay! DH has off tomorrow so it's like Friday for us.
We went to our social run last night and as we pulled into the driveway the tornado sirens started going off so we rushed to the bathroom. There was a tornado about 10-15 miles away and a funnel cloud 2 miles away that never touched down. Talk about crazy. Spring time in Texas is no joke.
Not sure what's on the game plan today. Still drinking my coffee and trying to wake up for the day.
nemomof2, Your DD is so cute! That's her in the picture on the wall behind her, right? You make some cute bebes! And I love how the cake came out, very ingenious! I was also thinking of potty training. When I ask Leo if he has peepee'd he'll grab at his diaper so he does understand.
I.Am.So.Tired. Leo went down last night no problem. But for one reason or another, he kept waking up. It was past 11 pm when he finally stayed asleep. We then proceeded to try to HIO for one more chance this cycle. It was a disaster. It took us 4 times of trying! At one point DH got a cramp, moved and ended up hurting me (bad position for us both). I wanted to give up after that and have a good cry but DH was a trooper.
I didn't go to sleep until past midnight. And then forgot to set my alarm. But luckily woke up on time. I was so proud of myself for getting up and out a little earlier than usual esp since it was raining. And then about a mile away I remembered I forgot my laptop at home. Ugh. It's the worst to turn around esp since it's in the direction of all the inbound traffic.
I am off to get my second cup of coffee cause I need it bad.
nemomof2 that cake turned out cute! Happy birthday to your DD. Lo has shown zero interest in potty training here. He laughs if I ask to check his butt and will sometimes pick out which dialer he wants, but that's about it. BabyStandish that sounds scary! Glad you guys are ok. I'm with nemomof2, I don't handle storms well. We get some bad ones here in Michigan, but nothing like down south and in the Midwest. dashook I was hoping dh would have tomorrow off, but he has to work. He has Monday off, which I think is weird. Boo for you not having a long weekend! littlelion alllll the coffee to you, mama! At least it's almost the weekend.

nemomof2 sorry your parents left. My mom lives far away and I hate when she leaves. I'm super jealous of some of my friends who have their mom nearby! Glad your dd's party was fun. She is so cute and her frozen cake turned out amazing!! We have no interest in potty here. BabyStandish so scary with the tornados! Stay safe and happy 'friday'! dashook hope the weekend comes fast for you! And glad to hear you're feeling okay. littlelion sorry for the rough night. Hope the coffee works it's magic!
Feeling very blah today. It's been rainy and grey for the past few days so I think it's got me in a funk. If lo cooperates and takes a decent nap maybe I'll try to make some Playdoh for him. I think we're all bored from being stuck inside!

Another rough night here. So random he woke up at midnight but went back down easily, but 4am wake up would not go back down. Hope he gets past this phase quick. I did just notice one of his canines is poking through so I'm sure the others aren't far behind. Our house is a mess but I think after morning nap I'm going to run some errands. Mh gets home from his business trip today so as much as I'd love to clean the house for him to come home-he can help me do it this weekend
I'm floating on a cloud since I don't have to do the dreaded public speaking today. I was so happy that I stopped by this place on the way to daycare and got the DC ladies some bagels and picked up cookies for my coworkers and got a big iced coffee and now I'm feeling very "zingy" from all the caffeine.
Anyway... It turns out LO has a big baby crush on this little boy named Ariel at DC. He is probably 3, French family, very cute and polite. She points at a little boy in one of her books that has the same hair color and says "Ariii! Ariii!". When she sees him at DC she gets a big goofy smile and turns away. And her DCP told me she was running her fingers through the back of his hair yesterday (!!!). So cute. But dang.
nemomof2 sorry your parents left! We got LO a baby potty and will begin trying it out soon. No experience so no idea when is right- we'll see. Your DDs cake is pretty and she's so cute! BabyStandish DH has tomorrow off too, but I'm still working. So jealous! Stay safe with the tornadoes, yikes! dashook I'm jealous too! littlelion Sorry you had a rough night and forgot your laptop! I hate that! Lots of coffee for you. ashlantic Sorry you have the blahs. I hope you get some nice weather soon! reginaphalange3 Sorry you had a rough night too. Hope you get a nap in!

BabyStandish, yikes, stay safe! Is this tornado season for TX? ashlantic, the weather blows. C'mon springtime! reginaphalange3, sorry for the early wake up! Get thee some coffee! bkmama0, you're probably everyone's favorite girl this morning! dashook, glad you're feeling as good as can be expected!
littlelion that is her on the back wall. We don't have any big pictures of LO up yet, the curse of the second child they are also really expensive to make that big. Sometimes HIO is just not what it's cut out to be. Way to give it your all though sorry you had to turn around this morning. ashlantic I think that is us. Luckily we got out before this blizzard hit us last night. 7in of snow over night. 70 degrees on Tuesday and snowing by Wednesday, welcome to Nebraska! reginaphalange3 sorry B had another rough night, hope that tooth/teeth break through soon. I dread when we starts teething again LO still only has the 6th teeth. bkmama0 that is so cute about the baby crush

I'm soo fucking tired. I don't even feel bad about letting Em cry herself back to sleep this morning. My brain is literally fried. Sun, mon, tues night I stayed up writing my paper. So I was like okay tonight is break night. My eyeballs and brain needs a rest. But then we ended up staying up finishing this mortgage application because we found the perfect house but they go so fast we wanted to be ready to make an offer when we saw it.
Abdddd I still have a second paper to write. My brain is turning to mush pudding.

Noooooooooo. He took the longest, actually. My sons were hard. My girls seem to take to it easily. My oldest girl was completely potty trained (night AND day) by 15 mos. my oldest son however, pooped in a diaper until he was 3.5 years old (he did start peeing in the potty around 18 mos).
Forgot how easy it is to make playdoh. Made that during naptime. Lo is now happily sticking plastic silverware into a big ball of the stuff. I turned on some music so that's helped turn my grumpy mood around.
Feeling sort of crampy and gross today- it's right around when I should be ovulating. I noticed it last cycle too. Is that a thing? Does anyone else feel shitty around O time?
