Now that Crystal can take care of herself, a little sibling is on the way! The baby will come around July 12th or something.
Our time with baby Crystal has been precious. I breastfed her on-demand for much of her babyhood and it was great that my period didn't come until she was 15 months old. I slept with her and breastfed her throughout the night until she was 2 and then I stopped feeding her during the night. I then weaned her completely by the time she was 2 years and 3 months old. I was unable to get pregnant with the next one until 4 months after that.
Now I'm about 2 months along and Crystal is 2 years and 9 months old. We've just started not letting her join us in the middle of the night because it was driving us nuts how her wiggling and climbing was keeping us awake. When she comes, I just walk her back to her room, give her a hug, and shut the door. I always remember to warn her that if she comes back out then I will lock her in room and then she usually chooses to stay in her room.
After a stubborn 2 years of potty training since she was a baby, I am glad to say that now Crystal is completely potty trained. She sits on the potty without being told and she asks to go potty when we're out. She even stays dry every night.
