We seem to be regressing a bit in the “big
girl” department. Eve has been in her pack-in-play for awhile
now, instead of the toddler bed. For awhile she loved the
toddler bed, but now she only wants the PNP. I really want to
get her back in the bed, but it is nice having her confined,
especially since she’s been particularly fiesty lately and
today has decided to take no nap! I’ll be putting her in the
car soon for a drive to see if that helps with the nap efforts
:) She is also completely back to diapers. I think her stomach
thing was a big set back. With three days of throwing up
followed by a week of diarrhea I had her in diapers the entire
time. Now she asks to wear underwear, sometimes, but refuses to
sit on the potty. Not sure if she’s scared, worried, stubborn,
or maybe just the “newness” of the potty has worn off and
diapers are easier for her. At BJs yesterday she found a bag of
“potty treats” (jelly beans) and wanted to buy them. I told her
we could buy them if she would earn them by sitting on the
potty. She said “no thank you” and put them back on the shelf!!
Sigh. I’m eager to get back to the toddler bed and underwear,
but I keep reminding myself that she’s not even two (yet!!) and
still very young for both efforts. Maybe she was just teasing
me with those early bursts of development and now she’s
settling back in to her babyness :) Actually, more likely,
she’s working on other bursts (vocabulary and independence!)
and no longer interested in the bed and the underwear. “Geez
Mom! Underwear are so last week!!” I can hear it
now…
