We've been working on potty training Mya since this summer, although I will be the first to admit it has been a half-hearted effort. Consequently, it isn't going as quickly as it did with Claire who was trained at 2 years, 1 month after only 1 weekend. However, I am pleased to say that she only had one wet diaper yesterday after naptime and so far today, we are dry. I've tried M&M's/chocolates in the past, but nothing seemed to make a difference. This weekend, they've been gold. She isn't so great about letting me know she has to go potty (generally raises the roof after the fact, though), but I am reminding her frequently. Now she's working for stickers or chocolates. Whatever works! I am hoping to have her fully trained by the time Chris returns. We shall see.
Claire is nine months old. She is such an active kid, always on the go. She no longer lays nicely when we change her diaper. It is quite the challenge. She is getting rather quick at crawling, so we have to move just as quickly to keep her out of where she doesn't belong--the fridge, cupboards, etc. Developmentally, she is right on track or maybe a bit advanced in our biased eyes. She crawls, pulls herself up, is beginning to move from one piece of furniture to another, mostly eats table food, and imitates us (both in the noises we make or actions--knocking on a door). When we hold her hands, she is beginning to take steps without much guidance. On Saturday, she made her first attempt to climb a step. Sadly, it ended with her sliding down. She has three teeth--two on the bottom, one on top with another coming in on top. Ten things we love about her: 1. her smile 2. her curiosity 3. the way she holds our hands or her own hands when she sleeps 4. her easy-goingness 5....
