Accidents...here and there...

I'd still say we're about 95% potty-trained, with some accidents here and there. I imagine this is only normal...the past week or so, you've had a few accidents. Tonight was the first time you went "poopies" in your pants in about 3 weeks. It really upset mommy, but again, I am certain it is normal to have accidents "here and there." Last night (1/12/13) was one of the first times we had taken you out with "panties" and not a pull-up on and actually you did AWESOME!!!!! You had some struggles today, but in time, I'm sure it will all become natural to you. I'm still not sure how we're going to potty-train you when you're sleeping, but I know not giving you chocolate milk before bed is a start. That will be a GIANT challenge!!!!!! We also need to work on you brushing your teeth consistently. We picked up yet another toothbrush today at the store, so hopefully that will just come naturally too like going "peepee in the potty" during the day. That seemed to happen overnight.

95% Potty Trained!!!!

So, I'd say that as of about 12/21/12 (the day the world was actually supposed to end...lol!), you became almost 100% potty trained. It was literally as if the world had ended because up until that point you weren't doing so great and I was getting OOBER worried!!! It was like you woke up one day and decided that you would just do it, and besides when you're asleep, you haven't had an accident (knock on wood!). You tell us when you have to go "peepies" and/or "poopies," and sometimes just go to the potty on your own and tell us after wards. It's fabulous!!!! Not sure how we're going to do the whole night time thing, but if it's anything like this, I'm hoping that one day it'll just happen!!!

Winter Colds!

This week (wk of 12/17/12), you had a nasty nasty cold. I knew when I took you to school that there was a BIG possibility that I'd get the dreaded call that I needed to come get you. You were warm and just not yourself, but thankfully, you were able to stay most of the day. Daddy was leaving work early on 12/18/12, so he picked you up and took you to see Dr. Warner. Just a nasty cold, so that's good! I was getting worried with a weekend and holiday coming up, so better to be safe than sorry. :) We've been pumping you full of honey elixir, cough syrups and Vicks plug-ins and rub. At the doctor's, you were weighed, and you only weigh 32lbs!!!! You must be getting tall because I feel like you were not must smaller than that months ago. Makes sense, too, because you NEVER eat! I'm lucky to get maybe 1 full meal total in your body all day! Such a little nibbler!!!

Potty Training Progress???

Well, I'm still dreaming of the day that you're not in diapers, and well that day is here, but there's a twist. While you're not wearing "diapers," per se, you are wearing Princess Pull-Ups, which in my mind is PROGRESS!! You are refusing regular diapers, and only wanting to wear the pull-ups, and today (12/9/12), you told me you needed to go potty TWICE before going in your pull-up, making you dry for HOURS!!!! This was super. We are regressing a bit tonight - MAJOR meltdown, so I am not going to make you go potty tonight. Tomorrow is a new day, right?

Disney on Ice!

On Sat. (10/27/12), daddy and I took you to see Disney on Ice! We still have yet to take you to a movie, but this gives us hope. You were able to maintain focus (for the most part) and I think really enjoyed it - especially when the princesses/fairies came out. I even enjoyed it!!!!!

"Call Me Maybe"

Oct. 26, 2012 marked another Hailey Kozinn 1st...we were driving and Carly Rae Jepsen's song "Call Me Maybe" came on and all of a sudden I heard a little voice behind me singing...the right words!! It was so funny. Such a little singer you are!

BIG GIRL BED!

This whole climbing out of the crib thing is getting old, so daddy and I decided we HAD to take off the front of the crib and put up the toddler railing. It's so neat!! You immediately loved it, and got right in. But now...it's so much easier to slide right out! I didn't think about that - ha! I went out that day to get you new bedding - PRINCESS bedding and stickers for the wall! I transformed your room into a princess wonderland, and you loved it, BUT, not enough to stay in your bed...haha! I haven't found the magic trick to get you to stay yet, but I'm working on it. Time out doesn't phase you. Sometimes an extra cup of "chalky milk" helps, but not always. I'm going to figure you out little girl!
