Updates…

I’m updating from the couch in the den in front of the television that I’ve forgotten how to turn on as the girls sleep in their bedroom ALONE.  If you aren’t quite familiar with our usual sleeping arrangements, let me clarify.  The girls are asleep in their own beds in their own room alone.  For the first time since I became pregnant with baby number two and realized that our children would have to share a room, I think it may actually work.  If both girls sleep through the night without waking the other and if I don’t hear a thud and tiny foot steps running down the hall to our bedroom tonight it will be a miracle.  If we all wake up in the same spot that we all fell asleep in, THAT will be a miracle.  It is working at this moment, which is usually how we operate.  I did have to lie down with Mary Clare in one twin bed while holding McCanless’ hand in the other twin bed until they both fell asleep, as did my arm.  BUT, it worked.  Dare I attempt to get a sweet photo of my girls asleep in their room in their twin beds?  Don’t think so.

As far as the potty training goes, if it were possible to remain at home for an entire 12 hour stretch, it just may work.  Dance camp, grocery trips and pool outings have just gotten in our way.  While we were home today, Mary Clare wore her panties, or birthday suit.   She never once had a “whoops” and went to the potty several times, even without me reminding her.  Of course, she always reminded me to give her the Potty Prize, a Skittle.  I’m just not ready to venture out without a diaper just yet.  This was much easier with McCanless, without the added distraction of another child, that is.   We’ll see.
