jewels , did he give you any real notice that he was ready? I'm wondering if we should just bite the bullet and try it. Not really. Saturday we set the watch for every 30 minutes and made him sit each time it went off. He went 1 time. Then after nap we put him in underwear. He had 2 accidents and got really upset both times (he hates a mess). The next day we kept him sitting every 30 minutes - by the afternoon he hadn't had any accidents and told me he knew what he was doing and didn't need the watch any more. I feel like he just made up his mind after those accidents. So, for us, just biting the bullet and putting him underwear worked for us. We did no pants till Monday. But he wore underwear the whole time b/c the underwear got him excited. Good luck!! I hate potty training and I'm green with envy.

Rough afternoon here. V asked to go to the park so we're going outside and he has a huge tantrum because we're going to the park so I tried to turn around and walk back inside. Tantrum continues because we're going inside. Who knew you could cause a meltdown by doing exactly what your child wanted. This is my life.

I'm just waiting for lfig to get in here and freak out. Lol! 7 hours later I made it here. And if your dream jinxed me and my IUD failed I will 100% blame you. Lol. I'll take the blame if I can pick the middle name 😉

We had a lot of starts and stops and it took us a long way to get here. Still no poops.

Well. We ended up eating hot dogs on the steps of the museum, spending the afternoon walking around and then going to Shake Shack for shakes. I didn't feel like driving downtown for cookie dough. I was pretty wiped out but when I got home, MH asked if I wanted to walk the boy in his wagon and the dogs, so we did that. Now I'm really wiped out. So much for not overdoing it. I'm sitting in the backyard watching the boys practice their putting. Thinking about ordering takeout. MH goes out of town tomorrow until Sunday so I know he won't protest.

Cher and snoopmommymom where is this cookie dough place? I think DH needs to bring some home. It's in the West Village, Dō.

yummeecookee they look awesome!! I had a set for about 6 months a year before I had the boy. I really couldn't keep up the $$ and the maintenance so I stopped. They wrecked my eyelashes so I swore I would never get them again. Then I got them for C's 2nd birthday party. Anddddd I still have them today. They're so much money and maintenance but I'm fully hooked. At this point, I just embrace it and assume I will have them forever.

I will be so sad when they all fall out How can I go back to "normal"? I mean you don't even *need* to wear eye makeup, so it saves you time in the long run...... grasping at straws here trying to justify fill-ins.

Morning! Rainy day here, so we're watching Dino Dana (it's like an updated version of Dino Dan with a little girl as the lead character) Preschool this afternoon. We have Josie's conference tomorrow, and I'm stupidly nervous about it. The school doesn't do a really good job at communicating, and my attempts to email to them about that just lead to more miscommunication, so I am hoping to straighten those things out tomorrow, but I never handle it well. I'm glad my husband will be there to temper me. Where can I find this Dino Dana?

Cadence and I made funfetti cupcakes with extra sprinkles. I'll take them to the office tomorrow so I don't over indulge.

I finally watched the Grey's finale. I didn't shed one tear, but was pretty choked up at the last 2 scenes. I'm already invested in next season.

Hi everyone! I'm not drinking this week but my period is a couple days late so I feel like I should drink just in case? That may be a flammable confession as well.

Hi guys! Attempting to get myself setup on this board. I know it's been ages, I'm much better at Facebook. This group was such a lifesaver for me when H was little...with everything that went down, and the threat of losing this 'home' it feels important to reconnect.
I'll do my best to stay up with the threads!

I'm solo parenting because DH has softball tonight. Both girls are sleeping and it's only 8:18! We are doing CIO with S and I think she only cried for like 15m before passing out.

I just saw on fb that there are "firework oreos". They have pop rocks or something in them. I need to buy them and test them out.

I took a new job super close to work, so no commute. So we are boring, in the most fantastic of ways!

Do you park in the museum garage? I was supposed to take both kids last week but chickened out at the last minute.
