These past few days have been such a whirlwind! One of these days I'll catch my breath. In the past few days, we have managed to fit in a trip to Ikea (hurray for new kitchen table, FINALLY!), lunch with a new friend, Natalie & Gerald came to visit, busy days of playgroups, and a dinner date with Kristyn. Despite my exhaustion, it was all worth it.
So we have been unofficially encouraging the whole potty training thing for the past two weeks. Each night before his bath we plop him down on his frog potty in the bathroom and talk about how he gets COOKIES! lots of COOKIES! if he produces any pee. Most nights he just sits there and flexes his tummy muscles and whines about how he doesn't have a cookie in his hand. But tonight was an exception...
At first he stated that he didn't have to pee, so he wasn't going to be sitting on that potty. Alright, I said, and stepped out of the bathroom for a second to put Blake in his bouncer. When I walked back in, he was pulling his shorts down. I asked him again, and he said he wanted to sit on that frog potty. I'm still not thinking it's a big deal since he sits on it almost every night to no avail. He's doing the usual routine when all the sudden I look over at him and he is peeing! I don't think I've ever been so proud of him, haha. He was pretty proud of himself too! He kept clapping and saying "yay! yay!" He also talked about "I pee, I pee!" and "cook cook!" (cookie) for the next 10 minutes while in the tub. Too cute. We'll see if he can keep it up.
Although I'm not really 100% positive if I'm ready to commit to that whole potty training thing...it sounds like a lot of work, and I really do feel like I already have enough to worry about on my plate. Yikes. Here's to hoping that he will either catch on quick or abandon the idea until he's ready!
On a completely different note, I ordered the Beco Gemini tonight! Although Blake loves the Beco Butterfly most days, he's really all about hanging out on my hip or having me hold him facing forward. He loves to look around and be involved in the action! So if I end up keeping the Gemini, I'll have to figure out a way to sell my Butterfly. I am going to miss my cute Lauren print on the Butterfly though! I got the Foxie Insider print, which is cute...but not quite as pretty as the huge printed panel of the Butterfly.
