By golly, I think she's got it!

Last weekend Robert was off. So I decided to attempt to potty train Makenna since I would have help. Turns out Robert was sick and was in bed most of Saturday, but I had a goal, so I went for it. A friend had turned me on to an ebook that some of her friends and family had used. It was a 3 day thing. Unfortunately I only had 2 days with her and Robert had Monday morning. After Saturday I wasn't quite sure she was going to get it in 3 days. And this book tells you to do night training at the same time. I opted not to do this as Makenna is never dry in the morning. I'm not sure we made it to the potty in time at all on Saturday and maybe a couple of times during the day Sunday. We still decided to venture out and amazingly Makenna told us when we got to the store she had to go - and actually went! She stayed dry for the entire trip out, which included picking up some more big girl panties. As I had been putting a diaper on her at night, I decided on Monday to get some pull-ups and tell her they were her big girl panties for night time. This has seemed to work as she doesn't call them diapers and she doesn't ask to wear them during the day. Again, I was not thinking this was going to work, but she gets it! She is now asking to go potty and while someone is tending to Eli (either putting down for naps or at nighttime) she will go by herself - even #2! Amazing.

Makenna has had this thing about shaking her right leg for a while. I mentioned it to the pediatrician at her 2 year appointment. She checked her reflexes and found that the right side was more sensitive than the left. We were referred to a neurologist which took forever to get an appointment for. We went yesterday. Thankfully all is well and it must be some kind of nervous tic. So afterwards (since we both took the day off) we took Makenna to the aquarium. She loves that place! There were a lot of school kids there yesterday, but a little less crowded than the weekends. It was still a nice time.

Eli has started crawling. He's getting pretty fast. And now he is starting to pull up and try to stand. Man - how time flies. As we were outside enjoying the weather and the time change last night, I told him he was going to be chasing Makenna around by the end of the summer. Probably sooner, but at least by then!

I have some time...it's off to get some chores done. That way we can enjoy the weather again tomorrow.
