Five Months Post Partum

by sconway

Today marks exactly five months since the birth of my second child. I am amazed at how quickly those five months have gone and how quickly my newborn daughter turned into a laughing, squirming, and very interactive baby. Gone are the days of healing and chilling.

Potty Training Our Son Part XIV

by sconway

Before we began this potty training journey, I was positively terrified. I did not know what to expect and I did not know how successful we would be after several failed attempts. It seemed to be an arduous task that all parents have to tackle at some point in their child's development.

The cover of Time magazine has everyone talking. By now, everyone has at least heard about the cover of the woman nursing her toddler as he is standing on a chair to reach her breast. Some were outraged wit the cover.

Last night, I certainly felt like I was in a wrestling match. Since we are currently co-sleeping (and not entirely by our choice, but more so our baby's) it is always a little tricky with three people in the bed. But, this morning, I woke up feeling like I had literally been wrestling all night.

After our grocery store adventures and visiting grandma and grandpa diaper free, we successfully reached another milestone of potty training. Our son continued to use the potty with relative ease for the rest of the week (he still required assistance wiping after a poop).

I am sure that all the neighbors heard him yell that he needed to pee but I was happy that he was telling me without hesitation and in plenty of time to get to the bathroom. Up until this particular moment, he had only used his little potty to go to the bathroom.

My mid morning and late evening premonitions were haunted by visions of our son peeing in his pants in the middle of the industrial linoleum floors of our local grocery store. I did not even want to imagine how I would deal with such an event.
