Ugh. I think this is my least favorite "stage" of life so far. I would rather change a million dirty nappies (diapers) than mop you know what up off the floor any day! Cerys has been in her big girl pants the last 2 days and she's done quite well I guess. The first day, as soon as I put them on her I noticed a trickle running down her leg and a funny look on her face. Ok, one pair down...3 clean ones left. But she has managed to actually use the potty more than she has gone on the floor. A good start I guess. It'll be a fun weekend I'm sure.
Bailey, well...maybe she just needs one nap a day now. I still think she needs 2, but she just would not sleep much this week! She is not into having her nappy changed. My calm-just-lay-there-baby is no more. She tries to roll over as soon as the dirty one is off and she giggles and squirms the entire time I'm trying to get the clean one on her. She just starts flopping like a fish. She S.C.R.E.A.M.S while I'm trying to get her breakfast/lunch/dinner ready, as if I can move any faster.
Like I said, maybe Cerys was just an easy baby and I didn't realize it. :) This is our "new normal" I guess.
Have a good weekend!

I don't even know what normal is anymore. Every day is different. Zachary has become quite difficult lately--I'm thinking that he's sensing that major changes are coming. Isaac is teething. Enough said.
Since our babies are only a week apart, it MUST be the age! Jaden has been the same way about the diapers just in the last week or so. And the nap thing--we went through that about 3 or 4 weeks ago. Just keep pushing for two though, in my experience. Jaden was fighting his morning nap, but could not make it on just one. He was either cranky in the morning if I put him down too late or cranky in the afternoon if I put him down too early. We mostly got over the hump, but it took some coercion.
"T" was about Bailey's age when we started spending time with the boys. He did the exact same thing when it came time to change diapers. "S" never acted that way. He stopped squirming and trying to get away after about 2 months. Hang in there. By the way...Happy Mother's Day!
I remember changing E's diapers on the floor with my leg over his belly so he wouldn't flip.
And potty training...wasn't exactly my favorite stage either. You'll be surprised at how quickly they get it...and then you'll be surprised at how many accidents come months (or even years!) after they've *perfected* it. Fun stuff! ;)
Just remember to put towels under the sheets at night when you move to the no nappies at night stage:) Just kidding, like we know... Anyway, HAPPY MOTHER's DAY!
