My vote is the first cake with the "we love you already" topper. The cupcakes are adorable too, love the little bees on them both!

Update: I’m drinking a glass of wine. We had a lot of failure with some success too. Also I only cried once so #winning. He got really frustrated an hour in and was scared/trying to hold his pee. We ended up outside so he could just be bare bottom and pee in the grass to his heart’s content. I think that actually really helped him learn when he had to pee without pressure. We did have a few successes with peeing in the potty. I can’t believe we have 2 more days to go. kleigh A lot of your story reminds me of O. I can commiserate.

My candidate won and we formed a minority government. I'm quite relieved. What does a Minority Government mean? Basically "checks and balances". They didn't win enough seats to have a majority, so even though they got the most seats and the leader becomes Premier, they will have to work with the other parties to get stuff passed.

It's wedding day! Wish me luck. We were rehearsing and decorating last night and it was incredibly frustrating. If I get through the day without throat punching someone it will be a miracle lol.

Speaking of baby showers... I’m invited to one and it was requested I wear either blue, yellow, or white. I’ve never been to one where I needed to dress a certain color. So strange.

Good luck danib! No accidents so far today! We are still on our first pair of undies. He’s been really good about telling me when he needs to go. I still don’t think he’s emptying his entire bladder on the potty though. He got frustrated again this morning so we had to go pee in the grass for a bit. Also that Elmo potty video is 👌🏼.

The toddler turns 2 1/2 today. This weekend is kind of a bust though, H is spending all of his free time over at our condo finishing up the last few things before we have a realtor do a walk through next week. In some ways I am sad to say goodbye but in others I am so ready to be done once and for all. And pocketing all that money will certainly be nice.

I’ve heard of people being asked to wear pink or blue as a guess of what sex you think the baby is... which is cute to get a picture of the boy group and the girl group. But dictating your guests clothes to coordinate with decorations is kinda weird imo.

Anyone else’s kid obsessed with mail? We didn’t get any today (probably too early) and he got really upset! All packages, and envelopes are mail! Lol

M woke me up at 12:30 to throw up. I gave her meds and she got sick 2 more times. I’m not sure if it was her reflux or not because of the amount of vomit and what it looked like.

Final Potty Training Update: The good - I think O has peeing in the potty down. He hasn’t had an accident since Day 1. He also only peed in the grass once today, the rest was in the potty (sitting and standing). On the way home from swim lessons, he said I need to pee pee! And I was thinking shit! I was on the highway still 10 mins from home. He held it all the way until we got home to the potty! The bad - we haven’t had any success getting him to poop in the potty. He poops 2x a day in his underwear. He’s like a poop ninja. He can squat and poop in literally 2 seconds. I was watching him like a hawk today. He has no problems telling us he needs to go pee before he goes. But with poop he only tells us after. Any tips??

That's awesome with the pees cookswithwine!! I don't have any tips on the poops, buy I know a few people in A13 had pee training success before poop. My IRL friend actually had to keep pull ups for her daughter to poop in. For some reason she would pee in the toilet but only poop in underwear/diaper. So she would tell my friend she needed her pull up, put it on, poop, then get cleaned up and put underwear back on.

I’m not sure daycare would do this either. When I google it seems it’s normal to get pee down before poop so I guess we will just keep on keeping on. I’m scared for daycare today! I’m sending 5 pairs of undies and shorts.

Moreso just wanted to say it seems to be a common thing for them to get pee-trained easier than poop.

Awesome job cookswithwine! B had a hard time with poop at first. It’s like he couldn’t get the timing right.. he knew he had to go but couldn’t make it. Eventually it clicked. I think it just takes time. B finally got it within a week I’d say. You’re doing great!
