So last Thursday was the first day of school for my little ones. P has started first grade and my little E has started Kindergarten. It was an emotional week for me b/c I just hate sending off my kids but then I don't have the patiences enough to home school so off they go on the big, big yellow school bus into the big, big school:(. Today is the first full day of school for them so I have only my little miss H till 3pm.
So some may wonder wow are you going to be bored? What are you going to do with yourself now that it's just you and H? Well let me tell you what I have planned this week.
POTTY TRAINING! I hate potty training and it has never been hard for my kids or for me but it's the constant nagging of the kids, i.e do you have to go pee pee? Do you have to go potty? Where do you go pee pee? Where do you go poo poo? Watching them a hawk so if need be you can wisk them up and run to the bathroom or bring them every so often and then of course you have to make sure they are drinking tons so that they get the urge to pee a lot. Now here I am complaining when I just stated that we've never had issues pting but it's draining.
It was MY intentions to potty train little miss H when we moved to Malaysia but she had/has other plans. She just turned 2 at the very end of June and has been going pee on the potty for some time probably a good 2-3 months but I was just humoring her b/c after all I had no intentions of pting her till Feb. Well she has been asking more often and going all the time so I figured well why am I holding her back just run with it she is obviously not wanting to wear diapers anymore, not that I can blame her they have to be super uncomfy. Anyway, today and the rest of the week will be soley focused on pting her. I will say so far so good. She had one accident and thank goodness it was pee on the kitchen floor but she has asked to go all morning and even went poo on the potty this morning. I never though in a million years (before kids) that I would be excited about pee and poo lol. It is exciting though and to see their face light up when they get it is beyond words that my heart feels or most mothers and fathers.
Anyway that is the exciting going ons in my life. Sending my kids off to school pee and poop. Does life get better then this?!?! I think not!
Off to the potty,
