Night Time Bathroom Break

We have been working very diligently to get Kylie fully potty trained and out of diapers. The process has been going fairly well and we are now going on a week with her only wearing diapers at night. Kylie has been very good at letting us know when she needs to go to the bathroom, and tonight was no exception, but rather a first. Every night we have Kylie go to the bathroom before she goes to bed each night, and then she puts on a diaper and goes to bed. Tonight was the same, but after being in bed for a little over an hour Kylie got up and called downstairs to Mommy. When she went upstairs Kylie said “I need to go potty,” and so Mommy took her into the bathroom, and much to our delight, Kylie went to the bathroom again. This is the first time Kylie has gotten up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, perhaps this is the first step in the next phase of her potty training.

A little virus

We took Kylie to the doctor today, she had a 104 fever. Upon examination the doctor found that Kylie’s throat was very red and irritated so they ran strep culture, which came back negative. This makes the doctor think it’s a virus of some sort. Unfortunetly this means there is nothing that can be given to help with remove it from her system. We will continue to give her Tylenol to help with the fever and try to have her take it easy for a little while. She should be fine in a few days.
