Well, the new year is here, both American and Chinese. I'm still getting around to making resolutions.....especially regarding blogging! Big happenings in the Tang universe? Collin's peeing habits and Owen getting too long for his carseat! It is 0249 in the morning and I'm at work, so there are a lot of ()'s so this makes sense.
The pediatrician says no matter when we start, Collin will be potty trained by 3. Sure, Eddy was potty trained by 6months, and me by 2years or so, but these days you're not supposed to pressure them. All I'm asking him to do is not pee on the floor. It started out well with Collin staying dry all day at school, so my mom put him in big boy pants. We tried to call Eddy to wish him a happy birthday, and Owen rebooted the computer (I'm sure C taught him that). Then I looked up and Collin was in a pool of water. Of course, it can't be as simple as just throwing a towel down. My mom has recarpeted the living/play room with foam alphabet tiles so O doesn't get hurt falling (another whole blog). Cleaning up all the day's urine (I believe he'd stored it up to insure I had fond memoried of his childhood) involved pulling up about 12 tiles and cleaning them and the floor under it. Coming back from cleaning the tiles in the tub, I realized Eddy would be wondering where we were, so I checked the computer. As I was realizing that no one had put pullups on C since his incident, I looked up to see him running his cars through a suspicious body of water. Yep, he'd peed on a fresh set of tile! sigh. Eddy never got called back.
gotta go, owen later.
