I am always nervous about change. Being in limbo unnerves me. I am about to switch Hannah's school but I don't feel as happy about the decision as I thought I would. Part of my confusion comes from Hannah herself, who usually cries when I drop her off at school lately, but said she wanted to stay there on Friday when I went to give our two week notice. I think this will be a good change, but, well, I hope she thinks so too!
We've been checking out some schools and I decided to go look at one that a mom at dance recommended. This place is great. The kids are testing very well and it is an accredited private school so Hannah could go there until 5th grade if we wanted her to. And the price is not bad either.
But I'm struggling with potty training. I ditched the diapers yesterday (yet again!) and she did really, really well - except for one accident. I have a hard time with the clean up. After years of it with my oldest, I just wanna scream when I find the surprise! I think she resists because she sees her older sister still wearing pull-ups and getting diaper changes. I hope she does okay because she really needs to in order to go to the new school. Wish us luck. We have two weeks.
And this morning, I found Jenna awake in the bathroom with her pajama pants around her neck like a long scarf, singing away without a care in the world, no diaper in sight. The smell led me to it, y'all. Not a pretty thing to wake up to in the morning, right? I think someone else might be ready to go on the potty soon. It's a very good sign that she's starting to realize she's got something in there and she wants it off! YAY!
This stuff is very, very expensive for us. Because Jenna is bigger, we have to buy the night-time pullups that end up pricing at a dollar per pullup. Then there are pullups for Hannah and Cohen's diapers. With diapers and wipes, we estimate $200-$250 per two week period. YIKES!
Can I just say that I hope Cohen is a potty-training GENIUS and learns very, very, quickly?! :)

Oh hun, I feel you on some of the potty training issues. Belle also had A LOT of trouble with it and was barely potty trained in time for preschool at 4, and still has over night accidents. I hope they all get the hang of it quickly! That is an encouraging sign with Jenna! And don't they say training boys is EASIER than girls?! Well there ya go! Cohen will be no problem! :-D I hope all goes well with the new preschool, it sounds great! I'm sure she will adjust quickly, and you can be secure knowing that you are doing whats best for her not only NOW but for her future! That is truly important.
Oh potty training...I think it's really the hardest part of parenting & at times the grossest! I woke up to Lydia with poo all over her this morning so both kids had a bath before I was really even awake, no more two piece jammies for a while. I hope that Hannah picks up on it quickly for you. I'm still having trouble with Michael but I know I'm part to blame because I haven't really tried for a while. Hope you have less diapers in your new future!
