Even though I wrote about our successful three-day potty training experience, to assume that all can be perfect in three days isn’t exactly accurate. The three days refer to a “cold turkey” introduction to using the potty or, more specifically, on not relying on diapers. However my definition of successful potty training doesn’t mean that [...]

My husband and I have been a bit lazy about potty training. As expensive as diapers add up to, I love the convenience of not having to rush out to the nearest bathroom or feel pressured to keep outings to a minimum should my kiddo express the need to use the bathroom. Still, the time [...]
Let me preface this post by saying that we are not actively potty-training our toddler. We’ve introduced the potty (both kinds!) and have gone as far as having him sit on it without a diaper, but we haven’t been stringent with any training.

I took the day off today so that both of us could help LO out with his stomach flu. I’m happy to report that he slept through the night. The doctor recommended that we wake him up in the middle of the night to replenish him with more Pedialyte, but even though I was touching [...]

Well, he’s 6 months tomorrow, but we went for our check up today with the pediatrician. She said he looked great with his growth. He’s 79th percentile for height and 40th percentile for weight; in other words, tall and skinny (just like his dad!). She asked if he could transfer an object from one hand [...]
Last Friday we started giving him his first solids, rice cereal. He ate it like a champ, for four days. And for four days, he didn’t poop. Not even a shart! On my way home, he was screaming a new kind of scream that said, “I am in PAIN! Get this out of me!” The [...]
