Getting bigger all the time
Morgan and I went mano-a-mano yesterday in an attempt to get her dressed for school. I won, but barely (and only after Jim stepped in to help). Needless to say, it wasn’t pretty. So I decided we needed a new plan.
A particular point of contention yesterday was the wearing of the pants. So today I let her pick her own pants. She did. And she started to put them on, got each leg in the correct pant leg, found her feet at the bottom and then promptly pulled them back off again (without every pulling them up over her bottom). I told her she needed to be wearing pants before she went to school. After about 5 minutes of running around, she decided to try it again and we got them on, no problem. After that, everything else (the shirt, socks, and shoes) went quite smoothly.
Her potty routine has changed quite dramatically since starting in the 2′s room. Now all diaper changes occur standing up and in the bathroom. We go to the bathroom, she pulls down her pants, takes off her diaper, throws it away (if it isn’t super dirty), walks over to the potty, sits for a minute (just sits, she doesn’t actually use the potty yet), wipes herself with tp, and then comes over to me. We throw the tp in the actual toilet, flush, and put on a diaper while she is standing up. Then we wash hands. She absolutely HATES having her diaper changed while on her back now.
I think she went through a little growth spurt recently too. She seems taller.
