Weekend Reflection
(This is a post from my deleted blog.)
In all honesty, I am glad to be at the end of the week! Generally speaking, our week was fine; but some of the challenging moments of motherhood were getting to me by Friday (okay, they were getting to me by Wednesday, but mommies can't quit)! My husband has been traveling quite a bit, we are potty-training, we visited the doctor twice, and I let the garage door down on my bumper. Now, I am just happy that my husband will be home next week, and we can start with a clean slate!
Potty-training is going very well. My Best Girl is wearing undies all day except naps and bedtime, and she has had no accidents since Tuesday. However, she really wants to wear diapers. As much as she wants to be a big girl, she also wants to hold on to being the baby as well. I mentioned last week that we promised to get her big girl bed out if she would sleep through the night. The bribe worked well, and she slept through the night twice, so we set up the bed. After lying in it for about ten minutes, she called to us and said, "Okay, I am ready to sleep in my crib now!" Every time we put her down for a nap or bedtime, she will lie in the big girl bed for a few minutes, but she moves into the crib after that. Because she now has no incentive, she is back to waking 3 or 4 times a night. I think we are going to have to throw her out with the trash (kidding)! :) I do not have her bedding yet, but I will post a pic when I do. In the meantime, here is a series of pics demonstrating my child's favorite activity during those 10 minutes in her big girl bed. We place her blanket over her, and then she kicks it over her head. She thinks this is quite a trick!
I am sure you are in awe of my child's talent!
