TT has been dry in the day for three days on the trot!!!
This is amazing! And she has completely bypassed the potty and has gone straight to using the toilet.
So I could have saved the $20+ I invested in a mini toilet style potty but never mind eh?
We are struggling a little with #2 at the moment but we are getting there.
We have already thrown at least one pair of underpants out
She has also been a little unwell the last day or so. Wednesday night was awful. She woke screaming in pain at 22:00 and was clearly either constipated or very gassy. We tried a warm bath, Nanny/daddy walking her around, we even gave her an approved constipation tablet – nothing worked.
She was so bad she gave herself a fully hoarse throat the poor wee thing 😰
So we ended up co-sleeping because she just would not settle back in her bed alone.
And it reminded me most forcefully why we do not do the co-sleeping thing.
Poor Daddy ended up curled up on the foot of the bed under the duvet whilst I ended up very sore due to the squirming sleep-thief octopus.
So I spent a lot of yesterday resting because I was exhausted and in pain.
Much better today. However TT has had a slightly upset tummy, so the two events may have been linked. Her pjs were a bit of a state this morning 🤢
#1 Son has been doing reading and writing practice with Nanny. By reading phonetically with the Biff, Chip and Kipper books supplied by other Nanny he is now romping through, and is already on Level 2.
My pride knows no boundaries. We are more than a little concerned though that we are teaching him the British way and not the American way, but it’s working for him – so Momma has volunteered to chat to his teacher about it next week to see if either they can keep letting him learn this way or provide us with suggested resources to help him move on from phonics.
But he is enjoying reading. This is a bloody miracle.
TT decided yesterday that she wasn’t up to being outdone:
I mean, logically it’s nowhere near as impressive, but it’s pretty cute.
Momma has also been trying to tame and tidy the unruly mop that is her hair:
It lasts about ten minutes but hey it’s progress!
We are planning on working on colours and shapes with her next week once #1 Son returns to school.
And as for writing with #1 Son? Well Momma is working on individual upper and lower case letter formation with him, and we are already up to K!!! The hope is that by Monday he will have done the entire alphabet through, but we shall see.
He has also had a full session with his new therapist and he doesn’t hate the musical therapy.
*collapses in relief*
I’m going for a walk at the weekend!!!
💕💕💕💕💕
Loved TT’s reading practice.
For constipation, if you can get TT to eat this, it works unfailingly (and the taste isn’t bad at all). http://www.cancerlynx.com/fruitpaste.html
