Anybody physically more tired after vacation? Also would appreciate potty training tips (sh.itjust.works)

I took a week off work, and I definitely needed it. I was having micro-snaps here and there. I loved this past week with my kids but somehow I'm more tired than if I just work (my two kids are under three if that makes any difference).

Also, any advice on potty training would be great. The older one will go both in his diaper and in the toilet. He pooped in the toilet once which was a big win, but that's because I caught him about to go in his diaper. Unfortunately wife and I aren't consistently home at the same time that we can do the Donald duck route, which we did the past week but he doesn't cue us when he needs to go. I'm sure in due time things will come as this past week I'm claiming as a resounding success.

Thanks in advance!

Re vacation: Is anyone not?

As for potty training, unless you get lucky, I think the only thing that works reliability is taking off their diaper and letting them learn what happens. If they can be completely naked on the bottom, even better.
