Trying not to kill my daughter

Sigh.

I'm really trying to keep it all together with Juliette, but seriously, I am a little over it.

I've been very sick. I thought it was a really bad cold, but I think it's allergies. It's been affecting work, and everything else in my life.

Tonight, Juliette peed all over my mom's leather couch. UGH! I understand accidents, but this wasn't an accident. She purposefully sat on the couch, peed a couple of minutes later, and then told my mom "I didn't have time to go potty!"

I'm trying to keep my cool with her. Now that I've found a decent allergy medicine, I feel like I can function. I am so looking forward to Jan when my health insurance kicks in. I can't wait to see an allergist.

My YD didn't potty train until 3.5. She couldn't be bothered. I was afraid she would wear diapers to kindegarten. My advice is have her wear pull-ups. Tell her if she is acting like a baby, she can wear diapers like a baby. It may be a phase she is going through. Any babies around?

You will miss these days when a little pee is all the damage that is done.
You can count backwards from ten, as many times as you want to.

LOL ... thanks for the happy thoughts. I LOVE the little girl, but sometimes I need a break.

Is this really going to work?
