So Eleanor has been doing pretty well with the potty training. Two days ago was her first day at school and she managed to use those extra high toilets. She’s completely out of diapers during the day, and we’re letting her wear pull-ups at night. Actually, the first two nights she was dry, but then, yesterday, I decided to go running in the morning and didn’t get back in time to get her from her crib until close to 7AM and she had peed in her pull-ups. She looked really disappointed as she said, “I pee-peed. I have wet pants.” I guess I need to get up extra early if I want to go running.
Miranda, on the other hand, is extremely jealous at all the attention that Eleanor is getting, and she’s been acting up. Yesterday, she asked to use the potty at school, and she actually peed in the toilet twice. I had been thinking about postponing her potty training for a few months, but it looks like we’ll have to do it this weekend.
On a side note, my favorite word for underwear is “chonies”. Their daycare class is quite ethnically diverse (three African-Americans, two Latinos, three Asians, one Caucasian), so you get a lot of different words for use in potty training, e.g. “Pull up your pants! Your chonies are showing!”
