You know my daughter? The sleepless one? She has me worried*.
Tonight after dinner she played. Then she wandered down the hall to her bedroom, stood at the gate and asked for her bottle.
So I dressed her in her pajamas, gave her a fresh bottle of water and cuddled her in bed for 2 mins. Then I left her.
She fell asleep!!!
All by herself and all before 7.20pm.
Can you feel the relief positively oozing off me?

Remeber how yesterday I mentioned another poo incident? (Yes, it does make 2 incidents in 3 days. Yes, I am a lucky lucky mother)
Well, the second time I took photos.
(Don’t you just love me? Sharing, caring. That’s me!)
I also took photos of Amy’s pooey feet, but they ended up blurry. Whoops.
And then we had a slight incidence with Amy falling and landing on an egg cup and cutting her ankle. Let us just say that there was blood. Alot of blood. And tears. Alot of tears.
However a Mummy kiss, boobs and a bandaid makes everything better. Once she realised that the bandaid had to stay on, she was off and racing again.
This is the ankle AFTER pressure was applied, boobs were administered and the bandaid had been on for 5 mins.
Poor little pet, the bandaid stuck to the scratch (yes, it is only a scratch) this morning and had to be pulled off. My solution? Remove all the sticky bits and let her do the painful part herself. We had no tears. Woo!

*I’m not really worried about her.

That’s a normal routine of a baby. Nice of you to share the pictures.
I hope she’s not sick, going to be on her own and so early!
And that poo? Sadly, we’ve been there.

Wow – I’ve been gone awhile, and my first time back I get poop and boo-boos! Poor girlie!
Oh, and if I pay your airfare, will you come over and teach Bad to give up the boobs and sleep?

Sounds like my life! Hope it doesn’t end the way mine always ends with Boo up extra early and finger painting fecal murals…
Smootches for her boo-boo.

Would you trade poo on the floor for early bedtime?
Cause maybe it’s a trend?
And carpet is just nasty. I would rather have plywood floors than carpet.

Hmmmmm, I had a battle with My 3 yr old tonight to go to sleep…she wasn’t asleep til well after 9pm..and the poo is lovely, been there many a time myself.
And hey, what is that?…That is my 2 yr old Amy up…..and hang on…..that is Kate joining in…so much for going to sleep at 9.45…..
I swear they hear me get on this computer…..
That carpet picture is the most funny thing I have ever seen in my life! Cheers to you for recognizing poop & poopy footprints on the floor for what they are–blog fodder! And what good blog fodder!
Poor baby. She wore herself out. 😉

It’s not easy to potty train kids. At one stage, my nephew spoke up only after he did it and not before.

Did she sleep all night. If so I am very very jealous.

Oh, how fun! You got photos of the poo. Good job!
Glad to hear from you again, hope she makes progress.
Once when i was a toddler and potty training I pooed in my rocking chair and then used it as paint to decorate the chair, walls and other stuff. I am sure my mom was so proud of me!

Wow. Way to GO, Amy! Falling asleep on your own is big girl stuff.
Got that potty yet?
My favorite part of today’s post? The iron grip you have on her foot to keep her leg still enough so that you could take a non-blurry photo of her wound.

Tee-hee, love the poo pictures! I’m going to have to start going to bed at 3am our time so I can comment before Kat – she says exactly what I’m thinking! Must go check out her blog as well.
Hats off on the sleeping thing – here’s hoping it continues and all the naysayers who mentioned early mornings and poo-ey paintings are wrong.

Amy is sleeping!
Your boobs should be marketed as a cure all for coughs, colds, sore holes and everything that ails ya.
Um… that sounded weird.

Yay for Amy discovering the warm snuggliness that is sleep. And kisses for the ankle. Did the eggcup survive?
Poor lil Amy – can she send some sleep tips ,vibes,tips or whatever on going to bed at 7.20pm to my guys ….please !!!
Nice carpet you have there it really does tell a story. Do Aussies not call bandaids plasters? I am quite upset about that, don’t go all Yank on me don’t forget who funded yer cruise over in the first place.
