Monkey has been wearing underwear exclusively, except at bedtime, since Wednesday morning and he has had only two accidents; one on Wednesday and one on Thursday, both were at home. Today he has pooped on the potty TWICE! I am so excited and he is so proud of himself!

OK, folks, did you all see this post on Dr. Mike’s blog? We are seriously considering trying minocycline with Monkey. We’re holding up the risk of potential teeth staining to a potential for improving Monkey’s overall quality of life. It’s not normallly given to kids under 8 but they’re giving it to kids as . . . → Read More: To minocycline or not.

I sent my baby to school wearing underwear for the first time this morning. *smallsob* BIG CHEER!
**Edited to add**
He stayed dry ALL day. Then he came home and pee’d on our bed. Heh. Awesome.

Have I mentioned potty training lately? I don’t think I have since before Christmas. The reason? We’ve been lazy, plain and simple. It would probably seem logical to most people to spend time focusing on potty training when you had a nice long chunk of school vacation to work with but, well, we’re not . . . → Read More: Umma’s getting BRAVE.

I’ve been going on and on ad nauseam over the amazing progress Monkey has made lately. We are so proud of him. I’m not sure I’ve given his teachers as much credit as I should because they are the main reason he has progressed so far, so fast.
On paper, the classroom he was . . . → Read More: The right classroom.

It seems like the good week at school might not have been a total fluke as I had feared. The little guy was giggling and smiling at drop off this AM. He was half dragging Duhdee down the ramp to his classroom on the lower level of the school. He only got 3 M&Ms this morning, he . . . → Read More: *BLISS*

Monkey and I have been playing a new game this week. I will say, “Let’s fly like an airplane!” and he’ll put his arms out (sort of) like wings and we fly around the house making airplane noises. After we played this a few times he started instigating the game by walking behind me . . . → Read More: *CRASH*

Santa gifted Duhdee and I with a cast iron bread pan this year so today Monkey and I decided to break it in. We made a loaf of this bread. Oh, my. I highly recommend this recipe for anyone who wants to bake some homemade bread.
It was an absolutely gorgeous loaf and I . . . → Read More: MMMmmmm, bread.

but I like it!
He has gone to school, happily, every single day this week. This has not ever happened to my recollection. Previously, our best weeks were a whiney Monday, decent Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and then a whiney Friday. We were happy with that, anything is better than the fits we used . . . → Read More: Not sure what got into Monkey this week…
