Bootcamp Report

Sadie is basically trained.  No pun intended.  Once she was told there would be no more diapers except at night, and she was spending the day bare, that was it.  She’s gone whole days with nothing on the floor, just like that.

Meanwhile, Valerie was all but trained by herself, then backslid for bootcamp.  Late yesterday she went back to diapers.  Speaking of which, Valerie wears size 4 and only recently grew out of size 3.  For adequate containment, with his combination of shape and large size, Henry is up to size 3 already.  He can wear a 2, so we’ll get to use them up, but at night it must be a 3 and we’ll buy only those from now on.

Knock on wood, Valerie seems to have had an internal switch flipped this morning and is intent on staying out of diapers, using the potty successfully.  We shall see.  It would fit, though, as she climbed out of the crib herself for the first time this morning.  Flip.  She also seems to be teaching herself to read.  I forget what it was she did yesterday along those lines, but this morning she pointed to the number 8 on Deb’s shirt and announced “eight!” Later she did the same with the letter A.  She’s shown a lot of interest in general, so not as surprising as it could be.

Speaking of smart, I may not be remembering that Sadie or Valerie did the same, but 2 months old seems awfully young to recognize and respond to multiple words already.  It’s a pleasure to have a communicative baby.  Who is also like happiest ever.

Anyway, it appears we are well on our way to buying diapers for only one.  Yay!

1. YAY!  GO SADIE AND VAL!  WooHOOOOOOOOO!

   And yay for diapers for 1!
