In a big girl room now!

Since my last post, the potty training has pretty much come to a halt. She seems to have lost interest in peeing on the potty almost completely. Oh, well - we'll leave it for now and pick it up again in a month or two. She continues to become more conversational, and it still amazes me what she remembers sometimes! I love it that she can articulate more what she wants, although there's still a way to go. At least she tells me now when she wants Mini-wheats versus Cheerios for breakfast, saving me from wasting a bowl of cereal:).

The biggest news is how beautifully our little girl has transitioned to her toddler bed! Last weekend we painted her new room (the old spare room) and set up her bed. She loved it right away. She's been in it for a week, and we have had very few problems. She seems to take a similar amount of time to fall asleep at night as she did in her crib, and she wakes up about the same time. She also stays in her room playing for a long time in the morning before she calls for us, just like she always did in her crib. Naptime is coming, it's a bit more frustrating. Yesterday she didn't fall asleep for an hour and a half. After an hour and fifteen minutes of just messing around in her room, I heard her saying that she had pooped so I had to go in there and change her. She could tell I wasn't happy that she wasn't sleeping yet, and she fell asleep shortly after I changed her. She sometimes took that long in her crib, too, so I don't know how much of this is the distraction of the bed and how much is just her not being sleepy yet. Despite naptime being a bit of an issue still, I would call her transition to a bed pretty much seamless. Apparently she was ready! She doesn't seem to have any attachment to the nursery or her crib, which will hopefully bode well for the little intruder that will take them over in a few months:).

There was snow on the ground this morning, and I tried to take her outside to play in it, but she didn't last very long out there before wanting to come inside. I will keep trying - I'm sure she will get used to the cold and the snow.

On the non-Lynsey front, we finally got the shower finished in the basement bathroom, and the laundry cabinet assembled. The bathroom is pretty much done, finally! We also found a suitable portable bed option (double high queen air mattress with a 3 inch memory foam topper) so that guests can still be somewhat comfortable when they come for night:). Becky slept on it last week for a few nights and said it was comfortable. One more thing I can check off my list of pre-baby things to get done! Pregnancy is going well still - I have been growing exponentially it feels like. Two thanksgiving dinners in one weekend didn't help that feeling! The baby is incredibly active - I wish I could remember if Lynsey had been this active. I certainly don't THINK she was, but I might just be remembering wrong. He just goes crazy in there sometimes! I've also had a cough for the last month which has been a real pain. I am resisting going to the doctor, but have decided that if it persists until the weekend, I'm going. I don't know when I've had a cough that's lasted this long.
