To Do List

Now that baby #2 is on the way, I have 3 big to-dos when it comes to Riley:

1. Potty Training: I keep putting this off for some reason. We are ready to go with the Elmo potty & Sesame Street undies, now I just need to get ready. Part of the reason for the delay is I don't have 4-5 straight days that I can stay at home. Riley will sit on the potty (big improvement from before when she didn't even want to sit on it) but not go pee-pee on it. My goal is to start 2 weeks from now. I will keep you updated.

2. Move into Big Girl Bed: I'm struggling on the timing of this. It is nice having Riley in her crib so she can't get out. I can just imagine her getting up in the middle of the night to play or to come see us, I know my child and this seems like a big reality. I will probably do this during the early summer time.

3. Wean of Paci: I dread this one the most. Since she only gets the pacifier at night it can be a wonderful bribe. "Riley, lets go night-night." "Nooooo!" " Do you want your paci?" "Okay!" She goes to bed so easy because of it but it can be such a pain in the middle of the night when she is half asleep and can't find it. I don't really want two babies with a pacifier but then again she may want hers back if the baby has one. We will see.

Three BIG to-do's in 6 months, wish me luck!
