I never realized how stressed I was about these 2 things until we accomplished both in one weekend. I've been breathing easier ever since!
Audrey: Unlike her brother (who spent exactly 2 nights in our bedroom), Audrey's been sleeping in her pack-n-play 1 foot away from me for the past 4 mos. Due to initial reflux issues, she was also used to sleeping in an inclined seat ~ and sleeping straight through the night ~ which made making the switch to her crib on her back a frightening thought for us.
After just one bad night she's been sleeping excellent in her crib. She goes to bed by 8:30pm & sleeps through her original 5:30am feeding & snoozes until Ian wakes up around 7am. It's a little bittersweet... she used to demand mommy cuddle her to sleep & now she just crabs until we lay her down & she puts herself to sleep... but we're so proud of our sweet pea!!
Ian: When he first peed on the potty a year ago we thought potty-training was imminent. Wrong. My casual approach wasn't working even though he was showing signs of being "ready." A friend recommended "Toilet Training in Less than a Day" and to our surprise it worked. We were potty training in the morning & playing outside in underpants in the afternoon.
Each day brings new progress & independence for Ian ~ practice makes perfect & so far so good! He now wants to do almost everything by himself... such a big boy now!
AFTER
I finally got around to updating our bedroom!
