Some Break


Well, this week is supposed to be spring break. Ryan has gone away to work again. He's been training for a week now, and I'm on my own. I thought this week would be a great time to get used to doing it all myself. Get into a routine, do some special things with the kids, and best of all, potty train Seth.

Uh Yeah RIGHT. :(

I got sick. Okay it's just a cold, but it's enough to knock me down hard. Seth was already sick with it, coughing so hard he's puking, and Avery, my little asthmatic is also hit, although she wants to be as active as ever in between coughing bouts. Argh.

So I'm coughing, sneezing and blowing my nose, asking Seth if he needs to puke in the toilet, as he's gagging on phlegm and holding his little hand tightly over his mouth while repeating "No Toe-let! No Toe-let!" Fun times.

The potty training must be done this week, I don't mean done as in finished, I mean done as in I can't NOT do it!! Somehow Seth is almost three, it totally snuck up on me, and he's still in diapers. My life is going to be insane until he's three and a half (at least), so this week off was my chance to stay home and 'train' when I didn't have to be out and about doing all the things I can't shirk off day to day.

Course now I'm sick and not that patient, and Seth is still fairly clueless. To his credit, (or God's) I haven't cleaned up many accidents, mostly he'll come tell me 'I pee gonchies'. This means, they're wet, to some degree, mostly not soaked. Soooo, I put him on the toilet, and WAIT. AND WAIT AND WAIT AND WAIT... I have played with Lightning McQueen and Chick Hicks on toilet paper roll roads for way to many hours this week. When is he gonna learn to let go and pee already!! Seriously?

Okay, It'll happen eventually, right? Hang in there, right? Yeah, yeah. On to another day. :)
