regression a word we parents dread.

I wanted to make this humorous in some way I thought to maybe do an entertaining list (like my sister in law does over in her blog Nearer to us) I tried to imagine how that list would go:

How do you know your child has regressed...

1. you hear "mommy I need you!" 3 nights out of seven

2. you hear "mommy I'm wet!" the other 4

3.You have a mountain of laundry twice the size your normal mountain consisting mainly of you youngest child's bedding.

(yes I am aware my children will mostly likely go through a long phase of hating me for writing these things for all to read.)

4....

well that's as far as I got before I decided it just isn't funny.

So then what does the 2010 parent do? We...google! So I googled and looked through stacks of parenting and toilet training books. According to my research my child may very likely be stressed. Yes I said it MY CHILD MAY BE STRESSED!

Be it because we went away or because he has a very busy schedule we are unsure but either way this is at least partly why I have been absent from blogging the entertainment. I am working my way through the laundry and the parental guilt.

next move...see a doctor, return to the land of pull-ups (sigh*) take a good long look at his schedule to reduce unnecessary stresses. Lower his scheduled activities and or add in more rest time to make him able to wake at night to use the rest room.

I guess what I am saying is among the laughter in our home is the real.
