With apologies and a forewarning, this may not be the perkiest blog entry ever. With each entry, I try to highlight only the happy and positive aspects of things, but today I just wish someone would give me the key with all the answers. No, I'm not talking about potty-training. I knew that would be hard. And yes, I know *everyone* wishes they had the answers and that is life. I am aware.
Once again, I find that dating while married is just over-rated. I don't know how so many people schedule nice dates with their mates and enjoy themselves. Fine, we had a date to a concert. A very nice concert with a talented performer. It was so exciting I even slept most of the first piece. (sometimes this is a good sign for me...frankly, I am constantly tired, so I'm not sure what it was tonight) Fine, we did enjoy ourselves. But, then we come home. Is the struggle and chaos and screaming and over-tiredness of dealing with what lies at home really worth the 2 hours of "freedom from the schedule?" It just seems to cancel out the nice time that went before. Sigh. I know, it's life and everyone has the same struggles. I just wish someone would enlighten me with how *they* do it...
After last night's success, the bed remained dry and the pull-up fairly so. There was no pee until about 11am. But, it was great. I figured out that my child does best in nothing....the underpants themselves are as bad as pull-ups, except worse because they add to the laundry. ha ha! So, she is sitting somewhere and says, "I have to pee!" She promptly gets herself to the potty and does VERY well. We were proud. The rest of the day was not successful. I ran an errand (in pull-up) and later 2 pairs of underwear and then a complete accident (too tired)....So, on to day 3 tomorrow. And I've decided it would be nuts to keep posting all this information. Know that we have started PT and we appreciate any prayers and advice thrown our way. Oh, and we're going to try morning music class in undies.....
