Oooohhh. Thats so exciting Bubba has a name

Sorry to hear about your getting up so early. That would be pretty hard to do every day. I always wondered how the toddler got on while the baby is being fed and settled. Perhaps things will get easier when the weather is warmer and you can get outside to burn off his energy. Have you thought about daycare for DS1? I know your not going to work (your still working at home more than you would at work) but it might be nice for DS1 to have play days at a centre. One of our mums at baby group just had a new DD and her DS goes to childcare 3 days a week. He was already in daycare and she said he was so used to it and would be bored at home. She said its lovely to have one on one time with her DD.

As for TT DS I had a potty near his bath and would sit him on it every night before his bath but nothing ever happened. It was two weeks ago when he got up and said "potty" and i took him thinking nothing would happen and he did his first wee. So i just went with it. I was not planning to try properly till at least late spring but thought this window of opportunity may not come again so we have just rolled with it. He always used to tell me when he had done a poo and then started telling me when he did a wee so I think he was ready before me lol. He had an accident yesterday at childcare. He always does a wee when he gets up from his sleeps but he didn't do one yesterday and then they didn't check so had an 15 minutes after he got up. Just a timing thing really. They had different girls on the floor yesterday so he probably doesn't feel comfortable with them. He was telling the Monday girls when he needed to go but they are the regular girls. Thank god for combustion heater and getting things dry lol. The worst is washing the shoes. They take ages to dry.
