Boot Camp

This was the weekend we finally potty trained Danijela. It has been a long time coming. I had the best of intentions when I found out I was pregnant with Luka. Then he arrived & it just lost its urgency. Some friends in the hood used the 3-day potty training method recently & it actually worked for us. However, you have to understand that Danijela was pretty close to being trained in many ways. It was just a matter of "putting a foot down" & doing it.

The entire weekend Danijela & I stayed home together while Tata cared for Luka. We rented Cinderella, painted our fingernails & toenails, drank lemonade, played house (I was baby Luka) & generally clung to each other. The first day she had one pee accident (on the couch!). Today, day three, she had a pee accident during her "nap". I use the word "nap" loosely. Girl is about to kick it. I believe she actually called to me when she was about to go & I just didn't get it. I had been struggling with her actually falling asleep for an hour. My bad.

Tomorrow we enter the real world where we venture out. She has Mother's Day Out. This will be the real test of how the potty training has stuck. I'll let you know.

soo jealous! I tried to go cold turkey with no diapers but had no luck. Although I was way too scared to do no diaps at night.

Abbie is showing more potiental now think I might try again in a month or two. I don't think I can hack three in diapers.
