Potty Training Day 4 and teeth? OH!

Took a break last night for Small Group - the pull ups went on and the potties went away!

Both woke up with a fairly dry diaper - yea!!!

Accidents:
Nora 0
Sophie 0

Intentionals:
Nora 0
Sophie 0 (unless you call purposefully holding it for 5 hours intentional)

Made it's:
Nora 5
Sophie 1

Sophie is a 'lone' potty goer.
I figured her out five hours later.
Nora had gone four times, Sophie NONE.

So, I put her potty in the bathroom (from the living room), gave her a few books, sorta closed the door and 30 seconds later I could hear her going.

Good to know Sophie - sorry about that!

We are doing well today but I'm sure that has to do with the fact that we skipped church and I stayed in the living room, on the floor or carried the potties with me where ever I went so I could catch them immediately. (they love their potties and will go where ever they are ;-)

Today was a day of CLOSE supervision and I think we might have a few more like that just to drive it home.
We WILL do this.
Whether Sophie thinks so or not.

I did, also, make an important discovery yesterday during one of the twins screaming sessions on the potty.
There are two HUGE molars coming in in the back of both of their gums.

Ok....so, this is good info to have.

NO WONDER they have been super extra ridiculously tough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PHEW.
NO WONDER they haven't been eating, sleeping, laughing, etc.....
PHEW.
NO WONDER I have been wanting to skin them alive!!!!!!
PHEW.

(kidding about that last one, but it HAS been the height of frustration in all my four years of parenting!)

I can't wait to cross off those diapers from my grocery list, things to do list and things to pick up off the floor list.....
I will miss my babies, but not their diapers ;-)

Not wanting to start with diapers again is a big reason we aren't having #4...in our plans anyway!

Also - about the molars - so nice to have a legitimate reason now! You don't seem quite so pysco!

Hoorah for Nora and Sopie!! and for you too. I was just thinking that now that you have nobody in diapers it might be a good time to make a trip to sunny Georgia.
