I take it back....I just may kill him!!! Yesterday started out like a lovely day. I woke up, go ready for work, sat down and ate breakfast with Daegan......during which he made the sign for 'potty' and said "potty" so I asked him if he had to go potty. He replied with a nod, and proceeded to try to get out of his highchair. Figuring this is going to be a game because we've never talked about potty training AT ALL and I don't really know how he even KNOWS about going potty (seeing us, I guess).....I take him to the bathroom, strip his bottom half and perch him on the toilet. HE PEED! Then he signed 'all done.' Of course, when I was trying to put his diaper back on him he fell forward and conked his head on the bowl! I guess that should've been my first clue of the day's true nature....

I got to work and got sick during surgery and almost passed out! That NEVER happens to me....I felt over heated, I was sweating, and oh-so nauseated. I spent the rest of the day feeling like puking and generally crappy. I get Daegan at the end of the day, head home, make dinner that I'm not going to eat.....Russ requested cookies, so I made those too....then Russ ran away to PLAY VIDEO GAMES! And bitched and moaned when I requested help with Daegan, who fell asleep swimmingly, but then woke up just as I finally dozed off and wouldn't go back to sleep. Why do I have to be the one to struggle to get him to fall back asleep when he's just playing video games??? It'd be a little different if he was studying, but he was playing cheesy computer games for over 2 hours (at the point I asked for help). Umm....then he proceeded to bitch to me that I "was supposed to leave him alone this week for studying." And I needed to pretend he wasn't there/ignore him. If he was STUDYING I would've given him space....but he was PLAYING GAMES and I was sick and tired and needed to get some sleep!!!


Ugh.....doctor entitlement bullshit! :banghead:


At least Daegan went on the potty!
(Oh and after reading all the threads in the parenting section, I am FULLY aware this could've been a freak occurrence never to be seen again....or at least for another year or two!)
