Potty training woes!

Well I should preface this by saying, I think that the 93% success rate we had last week has moved up to 98%. We only use diapers at night as a just in case. But that 'just in case' bit has been hardly used. I tell you, for some reason, Bug has started waking up between a quarter to six to 6:30 AM when his usual wake up time was at least a hour later! That means an early morning for mom and dad which we're not really loving. Particularly since I am not obligated to get up early for work. And must I remind the world, I am pregnant! I need my sleep most especially since I have to get up several times to adjust sleep positions or have to use the loo! I digress. But he gets up, calling one of us with the announcement that he has to potty! He's dry (woohoo) and promptly uses the potty but instead of taking our suggestion that he lay back down or even better, lay back down with us, he insists that we go downstairs and start the day! Dude, it's still dark outside, wouldn't you rather get a couple more minutes of sleep? Nope. So either Theo and I go down and curl up on the couch with a blanket while he amuses himself with toys, books, or even better educational kiddie t.v. Oh the agony! Gotta love motherhood and all its glorious perks! Is this his innate sense of helping mommy get used to be sleep deprived again? I hope not, hopefully this stage will end soon and we'll be back to our normally scheduled sleep patterns.

And for a quick funny quote from the small person. Noted this morning as I was moving too slow for his liking after he asked me to accompany him to the bathroom, "Are you coming or what?" Where did we get him from? It was too early to snap back at him so I dutifully followed, lol!
