After C's surgery we leave his door opened at night. This gives him free reign to go to the bathroom. We've been discussing night training with him for months and he insists he's ready. We got some pull ups yesterday and he got up to pee at least 4 times in the hour after I put him to bed and tried to poop once. But he still woke with a full pull up. I told him he needs to go a week without dirtying his pull up and then he can go to just underwear. When he got up this morning he said "I peed in my pants. It's ok, we will just buy more". So I'm thinking I need to go full underwear here, right? We are staying at the in laws this weekend so I can't do it yet, but after I could. Any thoughts, suggestions? Dude was only waking up dry sporadically but kept insisting he was ready. I wasn't expecting it to work but he was adamant so we just went for it and he's only had a couple accidents in the 4 (maybe 5?) months since. He was sick one time and dreaming/disoriented the other so they were just weird outliers. Going straight into underwear worked for us.

I'm so pissed for you joelies. I hope there's someone you can discuss it with to find out why you weren't considered.

slenle I agree with wine I would be a bit annoyed. 1) that I took the time off of work when we both didn't need to and 2) because I wouldn't feel trusted. I've had to let go a lot and let Dh handle more stuff like Cs speech appointments and some Drs visits because of my job. It's hard to let go but also freeing. And he seems to understand exactly how much goes into managing the household.

joelies Is there someone you can speak to about it? Not that it will change anything but I'd want to make sure the powers at be know you're pissed that you weren't even considered for the position since you'd already expressed interest in it and have been helping that team out anyway. In the meantime, whom can I send dick glitter to? The guy I originally spoke with, who I really do generally like and respect. I may speak with him later this week but right now I don't think it'd be a productive conversation seeing as my general sentiment is fuck this place.

wineallthetime wedding, I get where he's coming from. But I also wouldn't bat an eye if he would ask to come along to any of the appointments that I take him to. We both work in town, so running to a doctors appointment is NBD. He drove right past my office on the way so just picked me up. If my boss was in the office I might have just let him go on his own, but I essentially just took a little longer lunch than normal. He's taking H for a haircut this afternoon and I'm staying out of it

So I'm thinking I need to go full underwear here, right? We are staying at the in laws this weekend so I can't do it yet, but after I could. Any thoughts, suggestions? I'm sure this has been answered already but I'm typing this now b/c otherwise I'll forget by the time I get done reading. I think at this age it's not like daytime training. S just started waking up dry. At some point I realized I couldn't remember the last time he woke up with a wet pull up. So I told him if he stayed dry for 3 more nights in a row he could wear underwear. He did. That was like 6 or 7 weeks ago and he's only had 1 accident. He also has only woken up 1 time in the middle of the night to pee. He occasionally uses it as a plow to prolong bedtime, but not too often. So all that to say, I'd say if he's not waking up dry, to not push it till he is doing it on his own.

wedding No suggestions, just that I'm not trying to night train until he is consistently dry, which he isn't. Same here. Josie doesn't wake up to want to use the bathroom mid-night, and 75% of the time her pull up is wet in the morning. Ffmc: it doesn't really bother me that she's still not night trained. We all sleep and it's just one pull up a day. Also, this. I was terrified to pull the trigger b/c I didn't want to be woken up 1000 times. We've been lucky, but I wouldn't push it if he's not ready. Sleep is more important

mwhip we had a home equity line of credit we used to renovate our kitchen 10 years ago. Then the market crashed and home values fell and the bank shut it down, which was fine because I had used what I needed. The interest rate was variable which was a risk and we didn't dare spend the full amount we were approved for. We paid it off and closed it as soon as we could. If your credit card interest is high, it may be worth it, just make sure you don't over use it.

flamingo I used the Cocso High Back Booster for DD with the 5 point harness from age 4-6 then took off the harness at 6 and she still uses it with a seatbelt. They come in tons of patterns and are less than $40. She just turned 7 but is only 49 pounds so she will sit in it for the rest of her life. T informed me the other day that he's "giving his baby seat to the new baby and sitting on the big boy bench in the back with DS1."

FFMC: I finally scheduled Colin's first dentist appointment. Granted part of the problem is that DH carries all our insurance and we don't have dental cards, so I didn't have the info I needed. But I could have pressed harder. Anyhow he goes tomorrow and I'm extra excited because it gives me an excuse to take the afternoon off.

Got a generic form email from dc saying Cadence was moving up to the PreK class as of next Monday. I emailed them to clear it up because as of last week they said she was staying in the preschool class until January. Yep, it was a mass email sent to us in error. I'm so annoyed.

Hi from the indoor playground, it's a crappy rainy day which pre-kids was super awesome because I could lounge and watch movies now it's a nightmare trying to entertain this always bored kid. Anyway, he was playing nice and I generally just let him go but in passing he was singing 'ABC fuck fuck'...so yeah...he continues his non delightful streak.
He got a stern warning a bunch of threats to take his fav toys away if he says it one more time, and we'll be outta here. FX that did the trick, grrrrr.

I think I'm in the minority and enjoyed the newborn stage way more the first time around. I think because I only had to worry about the baby. l. Same. I had a super quick recovery and it was pretty blissful. It helped that B was generally an easy newborn and slept a ton. C has been a really easy baby, too; it's not that I didn't enjoy her babyhood, but that I didnt really have time to. I feel guilty about that. Between B, and listing/selling the house, multiple moves, etc, we've just been go-go-go since she was born. And the whole family was sick after the holidays for what seemed like months, so that also sucked the fun out of things. B will be in school an extra day this fall and I'm looking forward to having more one-on-one time with her.

joelies that stinks and I'm sorry. I'd be frustrated too. Thanks, everyone, for the car seat info. I know C will be outgrowing the bucket seat sooner than later so I need to figure out what B will go in so she can have his old seats.

melaniesue I feel like AZ kids go back to school so early, when I was little we always went back end of August or September! It was nice though. I got more done today because I actually felt like we were on a schedule and I got a nice afternoon nap!!

C also turned into basically the biggest terror you could imagine when L was born and woke up more at night than she did as well. I enjoyed it more the first time. I think partly because I didn't really have anything to worry about but the baby. This time I was constantly worried about making sure I spent time w S that o didn't get to enjoy it as much Now I am 12 hours away from having a 1 year old and wondering where the hell my adorable newborn went!

Yesterday DH spun our motion sickness-prone son too much on the Dizzy Disc and V vomited up chocolate cliff bar on our freshly cleaned carpets. This is subsequently an anti-recommendation of the Dizzy Disc. What is a dizzy disc? It's a really fast, tilting sit-n-spin. OTs use them for balance practice (they tilt at different angles) and for vestibular input.

My fifth anniversary is Friday. We planned for family to watch the kids (well come over after they go to sleep) back in early June. My cousin called earlier today to cancel. It's a legitimate-I-can't-be annoyed at her reason, but I'm still disappointed. Now we'll either have to go out for a nicer lunch with the kids or do take out.
