We have noticed that when es doesn't nap, she often is cranky in the late afternoon. Yesterday the lack of a nap, and a not very quiet "quiet time," probably contributed to the meltdown she had when she had an accident in her panties and her mom threw them away. I accept partial blame because I didn't notice the signs that es had to go. I was sitting at the table, ec in the pack'n'play nearby, when es asked if I could clean up poopy panties. I asked if she needed me to do that, and she said yes. So we went to take care of it, but E heard us and came down to follow up on the consequences she had planned. I guess the accident wasn't as extreme for me because we used cloth diapers thirty years ago rather than paper, and I swished out diapers and panties without much thought. Anyway, es cried inconsolably for quite a while. We'll see if this incident encourages her to use the potty. She's becoming quite good at staying dry.
This morning ec passed his six-month check-up with flying colors.
