Beau's First Day of School

I went back to work last Thursday for the first time in 12 weeks and it was GREAT. Great to be out of stretch pants and worn out t-shirts. I feel human again. Today was Beau's first day at daycare. Sean stayed home and watched him on Thursday and Friday because the daycare wouldn't take him until today. He did really well - didn't nap too much but that's not unusual. His daytime naps have become a lot less frequent but he is sleeping 10 1/2 hours straight now!! I can't believe it because it only took Olivia 18 MONTHS to sleep through the night.... He is doing great at night and it makes me VERY HAPPY:) He talks and smiles a lot which is so cute. They even commented on that today at school.

Olivia is also doing really well with the potty training. I think she is pretty much fully trained. She has pooped on the potty for the last 5 days straight with no accidents. She's also been waking up dry all week. She gets really upset now if she pees in her pull-up at night. Last night we had put her down and I was making dinner in the kitchen and heard some loud noises coming from upstairs. I had forgotten to turn on the monitor. Sean came in from grilling outside and asked if one of them was crying. I went back the hall to check and I could hear Olivia screaming and pounding on her door because she couldn't get out and had to pee. I felt SO BAD - she was crying hysterically and I had to check her hands to make sure they weren't bleeding. I left a light on in the bathroom and left her door cracked so she could get up and go on her own during the night. I heard her get up twice after that. She didn't say one word on the monitor so it worked out really well. Thanks for the idea Mom! I'm sitting down in the living room typing this and I just heard her go again. I'm so proud of her!!
