Marley - Welcome to the world of TT. Its an interesting journey. I am happy to hear she is doing poo's on the potty as sometimes it can be an issue. And if she is taking herself your half way there lol. The first time we left the house i made sure if was just after he last used the potty and took a bag full of spare clothes. Jack goes every 2 hours so can usually get home and back by then. If we are out in the car for a long time (being in the country we sometimes are) i pop on a pull up but I dont think he has ever used it. A month ago we drove to Adelaide which is a 7 hour drive and i was stressing how we would go but he went to the loo when we stopped and it was a non event really. I had a pull up in case he went in his sleep but didn't get used. When we were away we popped into the local library for a bit of down time and he wet himself on the mat reading a book. I was so embarrassed but they were very kind. I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me

I hope life gets a little easier for you xxx

Andie - I am glad to hear that your littlest is sleeping longer. It certainly makes a difference when you get enough sleep. TT will come eventually. Why rush it lol

AFM - After months of waking between 5am and 6am DS has decided to sleep in till 7am this last week. The Gro Clock has been a godsend. We are at the point now of not really needing it but I still leave it set up because as soon as you get used to something they decide to change it up! He is sleeping well. Down by 7.20pm at the latest and will pretty much sleep through. I cant remember the last time I got up to him. Day sleeps are starting to change. He goes to bed at 1pm and up my 3pm. We and daycare always have to wake him however he has started not going to sleep at all. And copes very well if he misses a sleep. Daycare rang me yesterday to say he did not have a sleep but just laid down for an hour resting. I could not believe he just laid there! I said if he is not asleep after half an hour then get him up. Fridays is our day home and I put him to bed at 12.30pm and he crashes till 3pm. I have to wake him and it takes him a good half hour to wake up and wander out of his room. He must be tired by then.

Is anyone else loving this age? Its such a cute age. Playing hide and seek is our favourite although he cant hide very well He gets too impatient waiting for me and rushes out to me and calls out "find you" and giggles hysterically. Very cute. His speech is coming along finally and now i can understand him life is a lot easier lol. Food is still a bit hit and miss. Some days he will eat everything not bolted down others he cant be bothered. One day he loves a dish, the next day he pushes it away.

DH has just been offered a new job. It will involve travel every second week from Monday to Thursday so DS and I will be on our own. He has had jobs working away before but that was pre DS. The money was too good to turn down and its a role he will certainly enjoy. It will certainly be interesting.
