Let me start by saying that l am not a drinker. But tonight, right now, I’m having a glass of wine.
I thought teething was bad. Oooooweeeee… potty training is a beast. Veteran moms answer me this: Is this how it’s going to be? Every time l feel like XYZ is the most stressful moment, another harder moment is waiting for me a few months away? Talk about living on a roller coaster jeez. I feel like I’m just riding the waves of his desires. Feel like flinging food on the wall? Mommy is here to clean it up. Feel like having a meltdown because your blocks tipped over? Mommy is here to comfort you. And even after you said “I love daddy” FIRST… Mommy was still here to wipe your butt. Hands down, being a parent is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Ever.
Phew. I feel a little better by getting that out. Back to potty training…
Little Butt is used to the potty because l leave it in his room so he can casually practice on it (read: stand on it and jump off). He’s a very smart baby so l figured I’ll just take his diaper off, put him on the potty and boom we’ll be done in no time. Um no. He peed everywhere, but the potty. Luckily we have hardwood floors so the clean up was a breeze. Even though I have Googled my little heart out, I don’t think that I properly conveyed to him what our goal was because immediately after I put him on the potty he jumped up, hugged me and peed on my shirt. Yup. I’m a pee pee girl. (Waving my white flag). I have no idea what I am doing.
This is all I can muster tonight. Plus, the wine is kicking in and soon you’ll be reading I loooooovvveee my… hiccup… baby.
Goodnight.
