I’m sorry about the fight Betweenthelines. The holidays can add to a lot of stress— I️ feel like it’s easy for things to turn into fights. I️ hope that by now you are all just enjoying each others company and are feeling the holiday spirit. |

I’m about to make an apple pie. My most recent Cook’s Illustrated had a new technique for making an all butter crust that I️ think I’m going to try. I️ hope it comes out well!

CestLaVie how’s B today? Hopefully you’re all in good health! He’s ok today but L was puking all night. It’s really something lol. Betweenthelines sorry about the fight. DH and I started our Christmas off with the overtime causing a cancelled date and family plans, and huge fight, and it sucked. I hope you guys come back around!! |

I should add I LOVE wrapping. I procrastinate, drink wine, and wrap. I did it last night watching Harry Potter 2. We started an impromptu Harry Potter marathon. I’m loving it. I usually don't mind wrapping but it was super awkward with my giant belly plus no wine so that decreases the enjoyment of any activity. It is kinda nice not having to deal with family travel. For the holidays since I can't travel but I also kinda miss it. Grass is Greener and all that. |

I need some potty training help if anyone is around. We decided to try again today (this is what you do on xmas when you're Jewish, lol!). We loaded Abigail up with fluids and we are now 2 hours into this with dry underwear. She'll sit on the potty but won't pee. I know she needs to go but I think she's afraid to pee anywhere but her diaper. We've tried encouragement, we've tried having siblings demonstrate, we've offered incentives, we've provided reassurance. I'm at a loss. I don't know how this kid's bladder isn't about to explode.

Honestly aydee I would just give it up for now. It sounds like she just isn't ready. Try again in a few months. You don't want to deal with withholding. |

aydee could you try putting the diaper over her underwear. That way if she does pee, she feels the wet sensation and can change right away. Other than that, I agree to maybe wait until she shows readiness signs. A big one being willingness to sit on a potty.

Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating!!! We have had a nice holiday so far! WAY too many presents, but a nice morning together as a family . DS1 bought me a beautiful Pandora necklace with two small hearts. Is definitely a highlight this year! |

Other than that, I agree to maybe wait until she shows readiness signs. A big one being willingness to sit on a potty. I tried having her sit on the potty and pee in a pullup but she wouldn't do that either. It's not that she's unwilling to sit on the potty. She probably sat on the potty 20 times this morning. She just doesn't pee when she's there. Shortly after I posted she peed all over the floor in the sun room and was very upset about it. We reassured her that it wasn't a big deal and she's still learning. Provided lots of encouragement. Changed the underwear and kept trying to go on the potty but she still wouldn't pee. I'm pretty sure she's still too young for this. But what I have learned is that she has a bladder of steel, so once she gets past the hangup of peeing somewhere other than a diaper, potty training is likely to be pretty easy. I think we'll try again in the spring. Thanks ladies! |

Today Isaac played on his tablet for about 25 minutes. He also hadn’t had any dyes since Saturday. While his impulses aren’t gone they are considerably less than they have been. But he still won’t play by himself

Merry Christmas all! It's been a good but long day. Poor C is so overtired. But unprompted, he pooped and pee'd on the potty last night. It was a Christmas miracle.

The busyness of Christmas is over at my house, and now I need to clean, lol! DH developed a man cold on Saturday, which made the holiday so much better 🙄 he's in bed still and I hope he wakes up feeling better. We got 6 inches of snow, so it was a very white Christmas here, unfortunately we had to get out in it. I live in the wrong state, as I hate the cold and snow.
Tiny slept well last night, only up 1 time and still asleep!
I haven't seen my youngest brother (10 year age gap, he's 18) in 4 years. He's supposedly coming over today and I'm so nervous. He's a grown up and I don't know him at all.
