We had such a great time at the UCP chilli cookoff. MJ stayed awake
and happy for most of it. Of course Dad was pushing the stroller and
diaper bag:)
We had a huge near-success today with EC. And the near part wasn't
even mjs fault! It started at church when I changed him before second
service. He wasn't very wet but he always goes more in the am so we
change him more often. He went on the potty! After church I knew we
were headed down to civic so I wanted to change him before we left.
Dry diaper and went in the potty, success! Off to civic we went. After
about an hour at the cookoff I just knew he would need changed so we
headed to the rr. Those bathrooms are not baby friendly! I couldn't
find a place to change him so we went to the stroller (the seat lays
flat and works great for changes) and I got all the diaper stuff
ready, dry again! Back to the potty we went and Little Mister went
again! What a day!! We stayed at the chilli cookoff awhile longer to
bid on a few things during the silent auction and before we found out
the results I wanted to take mj to the potty one more time. He was
still dry!! The only problem was this time there was a line! Crap, I
can't convince an 8 month-old to hold it. We waited in line for a
little while and he kept looking up at me. I was getting nervous; we
had done so well so far! The line proved to be too much of a wait and
by the time we got there he was wet. And boy was he wet! I was so
upset with the situation because he had such a good day! Since then we
have purchased another little potty. This one is meant for older
babies so he doesn't fit as well but it has a cover and is easy to
dump without looking like you are dumping a potty. I'm hoping it works
well for situaions like this.
I am so proud of my little guy!
