it's much easier to complain (for me anyway!) so let's celebrate! what's your parenting win today?
my baby is going on 2 hours 15 min nap in the swing (!!!!) and my toddler just woke from almost 3 hours (thank you, playing in the snow). I SO needed that..I was exhausted and tapped out!

Pumping one terribly engorged boob while LO slept in my lap. She is 2.5 weeks and only wants to sleep on me for daytime naps.

I have a very sick baby and a sick toddler (and am sick too) but have managed to cook dinner last night and will tonight. And even did 2 loads of laundry.

He pooped in the potty! I had a feeling he needed to go so I whisked him out of the highchair and it happened! Also, I managed to eat the leftover ends of his sandwich. Hooray for leftover food.

@winniebee: Whoa, you are superwoman! When my LOs are sick I beg DH to stay home from work with me and basically don't do any housework. I hope you're getting any rest you can too!
AFM, I've started getting H on the EASY baby schedule, and so far it's worked beautifully! Still no long stretch overnight, but I hope we can get there soon. He just went 4 hours between feeds (from 10-2) because of a nap, so FX he gives me at least a 4 hour stretch tonight too!

@keepcalmcarrie: dinner tonight is pasta sauce I previously made and froze so i am kinda cheating 
Good luck on the long stretch!

LO got up, got dressed, brushed teeth, let me do her hair, AND didn't throw a fit when I picked out her outfit/shoes/socks today without her input. It was a win for sure, usually one of those above causes some sort of tantrum!

LO is currently having his second nap of the day in his crib. We have been working hard on naps in the crib the last few weeks. I had M&Ms to celebrate! Haha

DS took two spoonfuls of oatmeal this morning. Getting him to like solids has been a huge challenge so yay

LO #2 took a 3 hr nap in the carrier today... And lo #1 is refusing his naps. I spent an hour putting him back in his bed a la super nanny and didn't lose my temper once.

Um, my husband had a snow day and is home with us? Oh and M ate all the broccoli in her scrambled eggs.

@mrbee: Haha, we're really just offering it as an alternative to the open air accidents! He loves that fresh breeze!

I worked out for 20 minutes and got to shower during the 40 minute overlap of my toddler and 1 month olds naps. The rest of the day was a disaster though lol

@LuLu Mom: OMG this is us to a T lol as I argue with my toddler about clothes I have a strange feeling I am getting a glimpse into the future when she's a teenager.

My toddler pooped during her nap... I changed her and she DIDN'T WAKE UP!!
Saved the double nap!

@sorrycharlie: wow!!! Amazing!
My parenting win is making dinner from scratch, bathing both girls, story time and bedtime in under 2.5 hours. After working all day and barely getting sleep last night.
Most days it's just routine but today I feel proud because of this thread. So boo yah!
@jhd: I have been working hard on this too and have only gotten a few naps in the past couple weeks. But not more than one a day so I can understand your excitement!

I took DD (almost 9 weeks old) to visit my old boss and coworkers today. I left for a new job right after I got pregnant, so it was great to see everyone. Anyway, we made it out in the icy rain, DD behaved the whole time, AND only cried in the car for a couple of minutes. YAY!

We had a snow day and LO slept in until noon (well, we woke her at noon. Who knows how much longer she would have gone).
Skipped her nap today, though, so win/fail

LO walked all the way home holding my hand up a hill and through several stores then ate a giant slice of homemade pizza. She's been sick this week so it was great to see her doing better.

@DillonLion: your LO slept until NOON?!? Amazing.
My win... We are on vacation so lots of wins and losses at the same time.

Bought LO her first board game today and she loved it. She learned how to roll a die and play this game, Little Circuit. She also cheated, which was kind of fun to watch

@Foodnerd81: not uncommon! It will be much less of a blessing when she is older and refuses to get up in the morning!

My 2.5 yo son asked to snuggle on the couch with me a bit ago 
Not sure that's a "parenting win" per se but it sure felt like one!
