Baby didn’t like a meal composed entirely of components he has enjoyed before. Crackers and blueberries for dinner it is

Gold stars for my big kid, not for me.
This week he
Gave a shit when his pants were wet and asked to change them!!!
Started sleeping without a pull up! His only wetting was the night he did wear a diaper.
Overall a low accident week and some huge huge wins!
He also had a day where he was so happy and regulated and it made me so happy. Finding the right balance of stimulation and rest is getting close to impossible and we did it!

I got Kiddo a proper electric toothbrush and had it in a gift bag labeled as being from Santa. He had strep throat this week so we had to get rid of his toothbrush so this evening it occurred to me to get the bag out early, using what could be a minor inconvenience to successfully spread out the " yay I got a new thing" feelings a bit more.
Accidental bonus win: we watched The Polar Express tonight where one kid is chosen to get a present directly from Santa before he starts his deliveries. I off handedly said “He’s the chosen one”. So when the movie was over and I was like “You should brush your teeth, but hmm how are we going to do that since we had to get rid of your toothbrush”. When he went into the bathroom he saw the bag there, I was like but why ever would Santa deliver early? Trying to hint at the toothbrush thing. Nah, Kiddo starts saying “I’m the chosen one! I’m the chosen one!”

I am officially quitting cloth diapers! B2 is not trained but I am done! I will keep doing pull up training in our cheap cheap pullups then try oh crap in March. B1 seems as trained as he’s planning for now.

Little dude has a paper due tomorrow and his concentration is shot after working on it all day. He’s on his last paragraph and just needs to stay sitting and finish it. I’m painting his toenails so he stays put. He is typing. The paper will get done.

Mine is related. We’ve been doing “undies mornings” with Pumpkin for about 6 months, probably once every 2-4 weeks. Yesterday I did another and she agreeably wore undies all day with 1 floor pee. Nappy at dinner time. Today looks to be the same! She might refuse tomorrow or she might regress like Duckling did (3-4 months dry daytime and then refusal/ nonstop accidents for a year), but its awesome she’s done this much!

This doesn’t really fit into the official Bingo 2024 Challenge thread but I wanted to share what we’re trying this year. We made a bingo card for every month with a variety of things that “fill up our family cups” so to speak. If we can do 3-5 of these each month I’ll be thrilled lol.
We’re starting strong in February!

We just moved. My daughter (3.5y) has basically only had sink baths in her life and now we have a bathtub. She told me she was nervous about using the big tub, so I improvised a bubble bath with some hand soap and she was in the tub within sixty seconds. Best soak she’s had in her life, rolling around like a sea otter.

My first bath in our new house that previously only had a tiny stand up shower (a lot of years ago with no extender hose for kids who don’t want water in their face), was the day we moved in and I was barely 5. My mother put me in the tub* with some tupperware so she could clean the rest of the house. I remember that particular bath as one of the best and most fun of my life.
Huge gold star for you, and congratulations!
*all day
