Week....whatever

Getting up early has its good points. You get a head start on the day. You get to see the sun come up (especially now that it doesn't rise until nearly 8 am.) You get all the hot water all to yourself.

But I still can't get used to it.

Enough complaining, though. It's been busy days around here and the most exciting recent event is a poop and a few tinkles on the potty by the wee Lauren (no pun intended). I'm delighted that she's interested in the potty, and even more delighted that my wonderful Penny at daycare is facilitating her interest and putting her on it.

This is where being a working mom is really paying off. I have NO idea how one goes about potty training. Grace got through it thanks to one of her grandmas, so on my end it was like a miraculous transformation I just got to enjoy. Not once did I have to spend 30 minutes or more sitting in the bathroom waiting for the action to happen. Which is good, because that kind of patience is not one of my strengths in motherhood or otherwise.

I'm hoping Lauren's transformation will be just as miraculous.

There's always hope, right?
