2022-29 || potty training, week 2

Every weekend, we always say we don't want to do anything, we'll take it easy, but we end up going out all day. This weekend, we visited the Lonsdale Quay area, had Mexican from Cilantro and Jalaleno for lunch at the food court,  and S went wading in splashpark at the Shipyards.


H ordered the burrito and the quesadilla for us. I was finding a table with S while he had baby P in the stroller, so I missed the experience of ordering from them. He mentioned the lady who took the order was not very helpful. 

H - What type of meat is in the burrito?
Cilantro and Jalapeno Lady (C&J) - *points aggresively to the menu*
H - Thanks but the menu doesn't mention what meat options there are. Is it pork or chicken or beef? (H doesn't eat beef)
C&J - What type of meat do you want?!
H - Chicken...
C&J - OK that's what we'll make it with. NEXT.

They're clearly too popular to care about customer service, and for good reason. All this food for $25, which is not bad considering recent inflation. 


S enjoyed the rice that was lying underneath the quesadilla, but did not touch the quesadilla at all. She finished most of the guacamole and salsa, which both tasted freshly prepped by the way. 

S is pickier with food these days, and I don't think we've ever introduced her to a wide variety of food from other cultures... Fingers crossed that she grows out of this phase soon and becomes more adventurous with food.

It would also be fantastic if she could pick up potty training quicker. It's been about four or five days since we've had to change a poopy diaper, but we still aren't confident enough to remove the diaper when we go out or sleep at night. The extra cleaning from accidents during the day has drained me of any energy that I reserve for taking care of the house or socializing. All I want to do is stay home and rewatch Mad Men. 

Every kid is different, and I've heard of stories where some kids learn within 3 days or less without rewards. Maybe we did it wrong by rewarding her with episodes of Cocomelon whenever she sits for a longer time on the can, because it only works half the time. The other half, I feel like she just wants to watch more Cocomelon. That show is crack for kids.
