Just random stuff today:

I started a low carb diet on Monday. And man! I’m so missing all the good stuff like chocolates, pasta, potatoes. It’s even hard to think about it. The only thing that I’m not going to give up is my coffee creamer. A few years ago I did this diet and I lost 20 lbs in one month, and I was having creamer with my coffee. So hopefully it works out this time too. Well, wish me luck on loosing a few pounds and I will update about it later, probably next week.

As you may remember form my older posts that I have to lay down with L for him to fall asleep. It goes for naps and night time. Yesterday for his punishment I told him that he’ll have to take a nap all by himself, that I won’t lay down with him. And you know what? He fell asleep!

L has been potty trained during the day for a little over a year now. We still use diapers at night time, as he still pees a lot during the night. He always wakes up with a soaked diaper. There were a few times here and there that it wasn’t even half full, but the fact that he still does a lot during the night, we are still using the diapers. During the day he’s been very good. But in the last few months he started peeing his pants. Not fully peeing in them, but just enough to wet them. It’s been about 3 months now and it is driving me crazy!! We’ve tried everything and he’ll still do it. There are days where he’ll be good about it, but then other days he’ll pee like 3-4 times in his underwear.

So yesterday in the morning he peed his pants and I told him if he does it again, he’ll have to take a nap by himself. And sure enough he did it. So off he went to sleep by himself. Funny thing is he didn’t even throw a fit about it. Usually he’ll cry and whine for me to go with him, but not yesterday.

So today I was getting the kids ready for the nap and L said that he wants to sleep on his own. I said sure!! Just told him that he actually has to stay in bed and sleep, not play around. And you know what, he’s sound asleep! Yippee!!! Maybe this will be a start for him on sleeping on his own. I’m not too happy about it yet, as it is only day 2, but hoping that this is the beginning. Maybe one good thing will come out of him peeing in his pants.

I hope it doesn’t rain today. We may need the rain, but I’m not looking forward to it. The weather channel showed that it was supposed to rain sometime today. We had a play-date at the park this morning and I was having second thoughts about going, but I’m glad we went. It was a little cloudy when we woke up, but the sun started breaking through and so far it’s been pretty nice out. A few small clouds here and there, but so far it doesn’t look like it’s going to rain.
