Potty Training

Our first day of potty training was... educational. Noah peed in his underwear 5 times before I finally went ahead and put a pull-up on him. This is not going to happen. He just doesn't care and doesn't even realize it's him peeing that's causing the puddle at his feet. He just doesn't get it at ALL! He would sit in a dirty diaper until his skin was rotting off and not care. He's going to be difficult to potty train.

Don't feel pressured - he'll get it eventually and it'll be much easier when he does. I used to think Liz was going to need to take a diaper bag with her to high school, she SO didn't get it for so long! Then I realized, everyone figures it out eventually. For one thing, peer pressure would do the trick if nothing else did!

I'm happy to report that Liz will graduate from this June, and she never once needed the diaper bag all through high school!

Thanks, Pam. I feel a bit better. My niece and nephew both weren't potty trained until 3 years old (which also makes me feel better). It didn't require much training once they were ready. They just knew what to do and wanted to do it. I'm sure he'll eventually go on the potty. And he'll eventually be able to talk better too!

Haha,some kids just don't mind being wet!Ava HATES it.I change her diaper at least once a night still.She pees alot.I think the most important thing is for Noah to be able to tell you that he has peed or pooped,then move on to tell you before he pees or poops....from what I've read.Then it will make things a lot easier for you!I am dreading potty training.But I can't wait at the same time.Diapers are sooo expensive!!!!!We use generic diapers during the day & huggies at night since Ava is a morning pooper she has to be wearing a Huggies diaper for that....haha...I have learned a lot in 17 months of being a parent!!
~Good luck,I know Noah will get it soon!Don't give up!

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...
