Counting down until nap time Posted: 03-26-08 08:57am
Me and Chu are having a really rough day.
I thought about taking him out to the park
today but I really don't have the energy.
It was all I could do to make him oatmeal
and cut up bananas for his breakfast.
This is nuts because I went to bed at
10:30 last night and didn't get up until
7:30. My day was already headed down the
toilet at that point because I need to be
awake for at least an hour before he gets
up so I can function. I need that time to
get my head together, eat in peace and
gear up for the day. When I don't have
it, I'm a super grump. We're potty
training too and that's killing me. Some
days (like today) it seems he's never
going to get the picture. I'm ready to
just stick him back in a diaper. He knows when he
has to go to the bathroom because he'll
hold his tummy and say what it is that
he's about to do. Then once he does it
he'll go to his changing table and take
out a clean pull up and bring it to me
then tell me "dutty peepee" or "dutty
poopees". He'll even take off his pants
and lay down on the floor for me to clean
him up. When he has to go I'll take him
to the potty and he'll sit there but he
won't go no matter how long he sits there.
He'll get up, run off and go pee on the
floor somewhere. Aarrgh! Plus he's just
entered into this tantrum phase that I
really can not stand. He's whiny and
grumpy and he throws things. He won't
play with his toys on his own anymore or
even with me, he brings them to me and
wants me to play with them while he
watches. I'm losing it today. I can't
wait for nap time because we've only been
awake for 2 hours and I'm already bone
tired. I just want a nap and i've still
got 2 hours to go. Ugh! Someone help!

Sorry you guys are having such a rough
day, I can just imagine how frustrating it
gets potty training. We aren't there yet
but I'm kind of dreading it! Hope you're
taking your well deserved nap!

Ava's starting to tell me when she has to
pee, but as soon as I sit her, she runs
off naked and a few times she peed on the
floor. I don't know if I should get her
pull ups yet or just give her a few more
months and see. I feel like she's too
young, but she's showing some signs.
I know how you feel about waiting for
naptime. Sometimes when it's like an hour
till nap, I'll just watch the clock or try
to occupy my time. After spending all
morning playing and trying to get her out
of everything, I'm pooped and ready to
relax.
