Tell me if this sounds right.....To get my two year old to stay in her diapers I promised her that I would go buy her a new potty and big girl underwear. I have been dreading the day she learns to take off her diaper herself because I have seen what my sisters have gone through. Particularly when they go to get there kids up from naps to find a naked toddler with surprises all over their crib. This was a day I could put off for another year and with no older sibling I thought we would, but Kate had other ideas. So, after running around naked for awhile screaming "potty" and then compromising with the hopes of big girl underwear we set out in the storm to fulfill my promise.
Umbrellas were almost useless and my clothes ended up drenched anyway, but we made it there and back in one peace. The worst part was that it seems the more rain and the harder it falls the faster people drive. Luckily we only went a few blocks. We came back tried out our new underwear and potty then we took a long nap. We spent the afternoon playing dress ups with the windows up to listen to the rain. This too was a compromise instead of Kate being out in the middle of the downpour and wind. She loves to be in the rain.
She can pull off anything.
Then to top off our day Chris and I set out to get a new bed for Kate. We had to get it while it was on sale and we got the very last one. It was worth the effort.
Kate is a little suspicious of her new bed to sleep in it but she likes to play in it right now. She has four months till her brother comes so hopefully she can adjust. But we are grateful we made it through our first storm no damage done.
