May 12, 2013: Dry All Day
Rebecca woke with a dry diaper this morning and kept her panties dry all day, using her potty correctly all day. We spent the day shifting from (1) us asking if she needed to go to (2) her telling us when she needed to go. And, after three days of holding it, she went #2 in the big person toilet.
(And I promise that I’ll shift to subjects other than bodily functions as soon as this learning experience fades from our priority.)

May 11, 2013: Dry All Day
Rebecca kept her diaper dry all morning, while MF was at work, and then wore panties the rest of the day, keeping them dry too. She even surprised us by staying dry during a supper trip to Dairy Queen (she had requested an ice cream cone). We put a diaper on her for the trip after the previous day’s accident, but when we got back home it was dry. Super!

Big Milestone: Rebecca is now Three Feet Tall. Not quite tall enough for the WNBA, but on her way. She also crossed the 27-pound threshold for the first time (that we know of; we haven’t weighed her in a while). She’s 2.58 years (31 months) old.
Compared to me: My mother didn’t record my height at two-and-a-half, but I was more than three feet tall on my second birthday. My weight at two-and-a-half was 30 lbs., I was as heavy as Rebecca when I was 18 months old.

I woke up early today (because I went to bed on time last night?) and thought that would give me a little more time before RLF awoke. No — her new waking cycle is somehow tied to mine. Perhaps she hears the coffee-maker — I think I’m otherwise very quiet when I get up.
She came out of her room just after 6 a.m., but saw that it was dark and got back in bed — I seized the opportunity. I went in and asked her if she needed to go potty. She did, and did! She was very proud of herself and ran to tell Mommy.
A Shelved House Is A Happy House
Houses should come with more shelves, in my opinion. One can never have too many shelves, cupboards, cabinets, closets, and “storage solutions”.

This is our fourth May in Texas, and it’s been by far the coolest so far. The previous two years, we were regularly in the 90s by mid-April, which prompted the HOA to open the community pool earlier this year — it’s been open for three weeks now, with almost no takers. We haven’t hit 90 at all this year, which is quite odd by this late in the game.
I’m really enjoying it, but we keep getting caught with our coats put away and have to pull them back out again — we’ve done this three times since March, and winter blankets too.
I’m not complaining; it’s just confusing.

Rebecca was a little sniffly today, but in a very good mood most of the time. She played outside a bunch and watched two tow-trucks (one taking a car and one bringing a car)… And it was more difficult than I expected to type “two tow”.

Worked on potty training today; several successes, a few accidents. RLF only wore a diaper to the library, for a nap, and then to bed at night.
Because of a training this week, MF’s schedule is odd. Today was the first Monday she’s been home in months.
I saw Iron Man 3 in the afternoon. It was enjoyable, but not quite as spectacular as I’d expected after all the media hype.
Watching our fourth season of The Voice; really like the additions of Usher and Shakira as coaches, especially Usher. I’ve never been a fan of his until now.
WEATHER: 55-78°F here at the house; other local weather stations recorded temps in the 40s, which should be a record low, but it was never that cold here. Mostly cloudy. No wind, which is very unusual.

Shelf I mentioned yesterday:

It spans the east wall of bathroom #2, over the door. It’s 59 inches long and 7.5 inches deep, made from a 1″x8″ of “select pine” with 1″x2″ rails on each edge and a pipe supporting it in the middle.

Flickr did their biggest change ever this evening. There’s a little more about that on my other blog. I’m seriously considering ending my eight-year relationship with Flickr. If only there were another decent place to share photos (and remember, I said “decent”, so no one suggest Facebook). Rebecca worked on learning my limits again today.[...]

WEATHER: 72-93°F, mostly cloudy RLF requested the playground today, after a few weeks of not going, so I said okay. She wouldn’t walk there; only rode in the stroller. And only played there for about five minutes before she was ready to come home. (This is why we’d quit going in the first place.) She[...]

➤ A couple of nights ago, Rebecca woke up crying about 2 a.m. My wife heard it, rushed in. RLF said she needed to go to the bathroom. MF took her; RLF did. Then RLF went back to sleep. (I didn’t wake up. Noises will prevent me from falling asleep, but very little will wake[...]

After a cooler than average spring, yesterday was the hottest day of the year (high: 92°F) until today’s record high of 96°F. Had a pretty good day with Rebecca (scroll down for photos).

Rebecca did well with potty again today — still working on #2. After an early, short, and surprising nap (she put herself down at 11:50 for just an hour), much of the afternoon was full of fussing and craziness. I got a new debit card today, to replace the old one that was cracking and[...]

A few days ago, we passed what I’ve jokingly called “the Rebecca threshold” with our Benjamin pregnancy. She was born about 7 weeks before her due date. As of May 10, we passed that point in the current pregnancy. My wife’s at 34 weeks as of today, and about nine pounds lighter than she was[...]
