Potty training and a big boy bed!

Dear Liam,
You had QUITE the big weekend. I realize now that it was way too much to throw at you at one time, and I'm sorry for that. But, I think things will be better very soon...

I took Friday off, and we started 3-day potty training. Basically, you and I didn't leave the house for 3 days. I stayed close by to you, so that I could run you to the bathroom the second you started to pee. You wore big boy underpants, other than naptime/bedtime. You did pretty well... but I wish we'd had another couple days to work on it at home together. You really only peed on the floor a few times. You usually told me the second you'd start peeing, and we'd then run to the bathroom to finish in the potty.

You went to daycare in big boy underpants today... we'll see how you did! You have to tell your teachers when you have to go... they won't be able to keep quite as close an eye on you as I did this weekend. More than 1 or 2 accidents, and they'll have to put you in Pull-Ups. I hope you had a good day.

Also, this weekend, we switched out the front rail of your crib for the toddler bed rail. I didn't think this would be such a big deal... but it has been. You've been up very late the last two nights, because you just seem terrified the second I leave your room. You want me to lie on the floor until you fall asleep. Poor guy. You've figured out how to pull the childproof knob off your door handle. This isn't good. I don't want you to get out of your room during the night, and fall down the stairs. We will just have to keep working on this.

I love you. You're my big boy, but you're also still always my baby.
Mommy
