Having a not quite two year old who virtually potty trained herself seems like a dream come true – right? We’re certainly relishing the fact that for all intents and purposes we’re only changing two sets of diapers per day. For Erin, we basically replace dry pull ups and rush her to the bathroom every time she utters the words potty, poop or pee. There in lies the one small twist to this potty training experience. Erin has developed a potty preference. Since the renovation, our house has two full baths – the old non renovated one and the new one that is bigger than most kids bedrooms. Guess which one she likes? Right, the old one. For any of you that have been to our house, you know that it’s tricky at best to maneuver in that bathroom. Now add hoisting a 30lb 23 month old who has to potty NOW onto her drop in potty seat. Two people have now been afflicted with the injury we like to call Erin potty training back. Seriously though, we’re very proud of our girl.
In other kid news, Sarah has now been in physical therapy for several weeks. I took her today to the private PT and am thrilled to report that she sees noticeable progress. She feels that Sarah is making significant strides in catching up. While Sarah still whines and moans when the therapist makes her do any real work, she’s really grown to like her. She even graced her with a smile today which is huge since she usually sees her and scowls.
Sloane is our happy little sensitive girl. She takes the longest to warm up to people but once she does will sit contentedly in your lap and cuddle for long periods of time. We’ve determined she might be our cheerleader because her favorite phrase seems to be RAH RAH RAH!
In Karen & Matt news - we were pretty lucky with this most recent noreaster. Our backyard took the brunt of it with just minor flooding in the basement. Other people in our county weren’t so lucky – losses of homes, business or significant damage. Please keep them in your thoughts.
For viewing pleasure, some pics of our tip to the Turtleback Zoo this weekend with Erin’s best friend. We didn’t include any of her best friend simply for her privacy (so, E&E– if you want us to send the pics to you directly, just let us know)
