yes i have been so slack and i guess the reason for that is there really isn't much happening around here in the world of little miss lani - other than just the normal day to day cuteness and naughtiness lmao.
thanks everyone for your thoughts today it really means something, can you believe no one from my dh side of the family have contacted us or anything, tell you he sooooooooooo ****ed off with the lot of them. my mum had us around for dinner last night and she gave us a lovely present with black and white photoes of myself, jessica, lani and my mum all taken around the age of 18mths it was so lovely and unexpected. i don't expect anything of course but gees a little respect and acknowledgement from the outlaws would be nice.
anyway enough about that.
mel with respect of tt, personally i hate potties, but i guess i am a snob lol. no it really urkes me when i see people carting potties around with them to the shops etc and i will always remember the new next door neighbours twin boys sitting in the back of their station wagon both having a crap in their potties with the tail gate up, whilst there house is being built lol. my theory on potties also is you have to get them on the big toilet eventually, i have a seat with 2 steps and handles which worked well for jessica, not so good with jay cause i didn't realise his tt problem (he was 3 1/2 yrs old by the time we had it all figured) i was getting him to sit down whereas he wanted to stand and wee just like dad, so he just wouldn't wee whilst sitting lol, when we all finally figured it out all was good.
also if you can try and stay out of pullups just another money making grab from the nappy companies. i did use them at night for ds till he was nighttrained cause there was no way he wanted to wear a nappy. anyway i find the best thing is to have a week or so with nothing planned and try and stay home or close to home to get the tt down pat if possible. i did my shopping on line etc for a while and did short trips to the park or a friends house, but stayed away from shops in fear of a big puddle being left for everyone to slip in lol. i also think once in knickers always in knickers when they get the hang of it no going back iykwim. i tried jay when he was 3 but it just wasn't working so i put nappies back on and when he was around 3 1/2 it just all worked. lani has done a few wees on the toilet but i am not really toilet training her atm, i just take her for a wee before her bath just to get her aware of it all. i guess i am being lazy tho, cause really for the first few months it can be such a chore going to check out every public toilet wherever you go, my ds was facinated by different toilets and whilst the novelty was there, he was always needing to go to the loo (even for just a trickle) just so he could check out the toilets, weird child and not good for a mummy who has a public toilet phobia pmsl, i carry that alchohol hand gel with me everywhere i go to clean the kids hands lol.
anyway hi to you all, hope all the kiddies are doing well and those with big bellies growing little bundles hope your pregnancies are treating you well. we are still going on the ttc front 12mths done how many to go???????? who knows i reckon when i do get 2 lines on a hpt i will faint with shock.
