Big milestones

So not been great with the blogging still but wanted to get last week over before writing on here- the reason? We have been potty training! Martha had a week off Cylch last week so I decided to give it a go. Previous to Millie being born Martha was showing signs of being ready to be potty trained- I was soooo not ready to do it then, although when Millie was born Martha took a few steps back and I was quite glad of the extra time. So now Martha goes mornings to Cylch we are bit more restrained as to when we can do these things so given the week off last week we gave it a go. Millie spent the first couple of days with my parents so I could concentrate only on Martha. So the first day went pretty much like this, lots of sitting on potty, nothing in potty and lots of accidents- great start! Second day- 2 wees in potty one I think was lucky and one she asked my Mum when she was here for a wee, still lots of accidents. Thursday we had a couple more wees in potty and I really felt like I was getting somewhere. By Friday it was back to like Tuesday (first day), didn't even know there was wee coming. Firiday night and I didn't know whether to carry on or not and felt like the week had been a waste of time. Saturday morning though Liam managed to get Martha to wee in potty, they went out and then when they came back Martha was going to sit on potty but asked for her trousers down and as soon as her pants were off she did a wee, not sure if that because she was going to sit on potty or because she knew she needed to wee. That afternoon she was in the park next door and wanted to come home, when she did get in she sat on the potty- coincidence we are not sure. Sunday she had an accident in the morning but we have managed since then to get her to wee on the potty by 'squeezing one out! lol!! Bless her. She has continued to do this for wees and just after lunch today she even did a poo! I am sure this blog is great reading!!! Well anyway I think we have cracked it- watch this space.
Millie has now finally started on solids, I have been putting her off as we had a weekend away in London last weekend so I didn't want to have to take food with me then too. We did have to put her onto hungry milk because she had started waking again in the night but that seems to have worked. She had her first taste of baby rice on Saturday and wasn't sure but enjoyed it yesterday, today she has had pear and again not sure but no doubt before long she will be having a range of tastes and I will have forgotton life before weaning!!!
So as mentioned earlier we had a weekend in London, Liam, Martha, Millie and myself all in one room in a travel lodge- it wasn't as bad as what I thought it was going to be so that was good. Both Martha and Millie seemed to sleep well, and we managed to catch up with quite a few people so that was great!
Photos on Liams website have been slow going on because we have a problem loading them on, plenty have been going on facebook though but will try and get Liam to look at it and see if we can get it working again.
Feeling good about things at the moment, still have good days and bad days but decided to try and get out a bit more and not worrytoo much about Cylch, at the end of the day its not compulsary so it doesn't matter if she misses a morning. Hopefully that will make a difference.
