Ok, so Noggin has been doing really well with the whole potty-training thing. We went out today, sans pull-up and he stayed dry.
Of course, I did put him on the potty every 15-20 minutes...which is no easy feat since he fell into a public toilet last month after his portable potty seat broke.
He completed a respectable #1 and spent about 1/2 an hour playing enthusiastically with Smooch, M & L when I lost sight of him for a few moments.
When I did finally catch sight of him, he was standing by a railing, shifting and looking somewhat conspicuous and uncomfortable.
"Oh CRAP"...I said to my friend, S, who was seated beside me, supervising her two completely potty-trained angels.
So Noggin and Mama began the long trip out to the car to retrieve clean clothing, then the bathroom where the pants he was wearing (thankfully old, worn-out sweatpants with a cuff that just kept holding on) found a new home in the garbage.
So, today I am grateful for several things;
1 - Extra clothes
2 - Paper Towel
3 - Foaming hand cleanser
4 - Good friends who are willing to watch (and discipline, if need be) other children when disaster strikes.
5 - (and really, most important), I am grateful for the close relationship I have with my kids, and that I know, just from a facial expression, everything that I need to.
Motherhood rocks...even when it gets crappy.
happy new year

Well my friend a few words about potty training. After working with 2 kids to get them on the crapper I have found out that all things happen when it is their time. (think of the struggles I had with Liv) AKA nobody goes to grade 1 in diapers. YOur little noggin might be a bit late training and miss the 3 year old preschool but in the big scheme of things who cares?
