Colds, potty training and rash, oh my!

So we all have a nasty spring cold...runny nose, cough, chest congestion and a lack of energy (and irritable children!). I really hope that this cold goes away soon and we can enjoy the arrival of spring...looking forward to being outside again!

The saga of potty training continues. Kaylee is doing fantastic, really no issues or concerns there. I am very proud of her for this accomplishment. Now to teach her that she has to share the potty with her brother, and that it is just not hers! Every time Wyatt says he needs to pee, so does Kaylee. Gets kinda frustrating at times I must admit! Wyatt is trying so very hard to get the potty training thing down. He does not really want to wear a diaper, he likes his big boy undies. That being said, he is still practicing the timing. But big praises for trying, he will get it soon (I hope) but until then I am busy with laundry and washing floors!

At Malaika's 2 month check up she did really well, she is growing, weighing 9 pounds 8 ounces and is now 21 1/2 inches long. Now a couple of weeks prior to that appointment, I had to get her in for a rash on her face, at that time was told it was baby acne. Well as time went on, it got worse and worse, was on her tummy, arms, legs, neck, and back. It was red and blotchy dry skin and at times looked like it was seeping. At her appointment, the doctor said it was a form of dermatitis, and was giving a prescription for a medicated cream. Well we have been using it for a week now, and she was doing great! Her skin was clearing and she was happy. Well, yesterday I noticed it getting worse on her back again, and this morning it is even worse. So guess I need to get her into the doctors again. Oh my poor little sweetie!
