Welcome to April.

I haven't posted so much in the past few days because I have been continuing to try to teach Alexa to use the potty. I won't go into all the details, but we are going to continue trying to potty train while at home and use diapers when we need to go out. I have been driving myself and Alexa and David crazy however, so I am going to just put her in a pull up and go out to the store or wherever when I need to instead of trying to stay at home, and I am going to try not to say NO! when Alexa starts peeing on the floor.
In other more cheery news, we have been much more successful in getting Alexa to sleep at a reasonable time (9:00) and in getting her to stay in her bed when we put her there until she can go to sleep. She is also learning using her sign language better and doing some new things physically, like standing on her knees, squatting down, standing on one foot for brief periods of time etc.
I am making a strong effort to trust myself a little more as a parent and to remember the really great things she has learned recently when I feel frustrated about the potty training difficulties.
