A Second and a First

Look familiar?


We decided to try the potty training business again (for the second time) this weekend. We didn't have any plans so we had no excuse! It was a bit more successful than this summer's 1st day's attempt. We had 2 accidents but also 2 personally initiated visits by Gerrit. (And a few prompted by mom/dad.) He walked around most of the day with a long sleeve shirt and his underwear - not much different than the photo above. Here's hoping tomorrow is even more successful! He's 1/2 way there as he goes quite often at daycare (when prompted) and will go for us at home occasionally. We shall see...

We also thought that wasn't enough so we thought we'd try skipping the nap too. Gerrit has been a pill to get down at night this week so we thought maybe it was the nap. We thought an earlier bed time and skip the nap might be the ticket. As I write this, we had to put 2 gates up to keep him in and he's exercising his voice quite loudly too. As much as I like the 'nap time', he actually was pretty good today and I was able to get some work done (not a nap though). Not sure how well this idea is either...
