The story of how we fell in love

Scoreboard

After I had my 2nd child I was on birth control pills. I was nursing my baby still and running behind an almost 3 year old.

the jealousy was a little frustrating at first. I was nursing baby and the toddler felt neglected. She felt that the most optimum time to have a mad rush of "I need to go to the bathroom" was when I would sit down to start nursing the baby. The first couple of times I dropped everything and ran her to the bathroom. I kinda got tired of this routine and tried taking her to the bathroom before I nursed, but somehow she always still needed to go to the bathroom. I told her she could wait till I was done since I knew she had just gone. She started to say she needed to go potty and then pee her pants right in front of me. Luckily we had tile floor so clean up was easy.

One time I had just settled in nursing the baby and the toddler came running into the room. "Potty" she yelled and then spread her legs and peed right in front of me. This was the last straw. Next time I went to nurse the baby I took the toddler to the bathroom, I sat her on the toilet and then I sat on the counter and nursed the baby. The toddler I cried, "I need to go potty" luckily she was already on the toilet. This new routine went on for about 3 days. She got tired of it … SCORE: mom 1 toddler 365… finally I had a win.
