Tantrums really. There are few tears. But because mum has decided to limit breastfeeding to once per day.

Because I haven’t had a 3 hour stretch of sleep in several days, maybe weeks.
I don’t know why the baby’s crying, though.

Because Nana asked him to pick up his slice of watermelon from the floor instead of getting a new one.

Nope, not yet. But we got “Potty” by Leslie Patricelli from Buy Nothing and she snagged it out of the bag and she’s obsessed with it now. I’m generally camp “late potty training to prevent holding behaviors”, but she keeps asking for a potty, to sit on the toilet, for the underwear, etc 
So I ordered her a little potty and I’ll let her sit on it but I’m not going to push anything on it. If she wants to self train I’ll her the tools, but I’m in negative rush for her to potty train until she can take all her own clothes off lol.

I am team “maybe he will potty train without stress and if I buy things he will magically handle this and my job goes to wiping”
Which seems unlikely, but has to happen for someone!
So we do extra bare bum time every now and then. He likes

Yeah, waiting and hoping she’ll take the lead is my basic approach haha. Which she seems to be trying to do so… 
we’ll see.

This worked really well for us until it didn’t and somehow I have a 4 year old who is still in pull-up nappies at home. I still don’t fully understand how this happened or what to do about it.
Today’s distress at having to go to kindy was solved with a plate of fancy snacks to completely fill his belly.

This is the approach we are taking. A few times per day she yells pot! and does the sign for bathroom. We follow her into the bathroom, help her with her clothes, and then she pees on the potty. We are not putting any pressure on her at all and she is basically just doing it herself. She’s also getting much better at taking off and putting on her own clothes. She can do it herself but it’s much faster if we help when the potty is involved.

Our 2.5 year old loves to wear underwear…over her diaper. She’ll sit on the potty for a second, but she will also hold her pee/poo until she’s literally crying because she has to go so bad.
So our potty training is not going especially well.

My 2.5 y/o (May birthday) likes to sit on the potty. He poops on the potty about half the time, he’s peed a few times.
I never ask him to, only when he asks me. He refuses to sit at school though.
He’s starting to really want pull ups instead of diapers though, so if he does that, we will probably push it a bit harder. Those things are expensive. (Plus, he gets super sad if he accidentally poops on Mickey.)
But he is WAY ahead where my daughter was.

4 y/o: Crying because I got asked what my favorite thing was today, and I said hiking, but I only meant hiking TO the waterfall. I hated hiking back to the car and do not want anyone to believe when I said hiking I meant all of it.

Her face hurts. She finally passed out thanks to bland renovation shows in Netflix.
