Potty and Nighttime

The last week of September Amelia had a wicked diaper rash on Sunday morning after pooping the night before and not saying anything.  After church I told her it was over and she had to wear undies and pee on the potty to fix her owie butt.  And that was that.  She was potty trained.  In the next month we had maybe an accident a week.  She gave up the little potty after a month and will only let me help her wipe, otherwise she does it all on her own.  She still wears a diaper at night but most mornings she is dry.  I'm very proud of my independent determined girl.  Once she puts her mind to something she will accomplish it.

Evelyn has always given me trouble with sleeping and bedtime.  She just really would like to be right by me all of the time.  Every single night when trying to put her into her crib she would wake up crying before she was even laid down.  In desperation I borrowed an extra mattress from Kait for her room.  I tried laying next to her to nurse and get her to sleep and then would sneak out of the room.  It worked!  I finally was able to get her to sleep and she would sleep pretty decent through the night.  She still wanted to nurse for at least an hour before I left her but I was super excited to get to sleep through almost every night
