In February, my Princess napped with daddy and went to bed at night with daddy. It felt so free. For 2 years, I was the one who had to lay her down since I had the breast milk. It was such a nice break. Peace. Tranquility. Blogs. Chick Movies. Books. I LOVED those few hours at night after they went to bed.Then in March something happened - a mommy phase. I guess that is what I will call it. Now, she only will sleep if I am next to her. At first it was cute, but not for long. Now it is just … [Read more...]
Potty Training Success
Okay, something quite cool happened yesterday. Dum da da dum... (that is my drumroll) my Princess went Poo Poo on the potty! When she started to hide under the kitchen table we knew exactly what she was doing. Hiding to go poo poo. (Why in the world do kids do that? Just go on the toilet!) So we brought her into the bathroom, set her on the toilet seat, and waited. And waited. And guess what? She didn't go. I then did something drastic. It could have backfired (no pun intended). But I took … [Read more...]

Our Little Comedian
Last night, my Princess was sharing an apple with her daddy. She takes hers peeled, and he likes to dip his apples in peanut butter. One thing my Princess has not been excited about is peanut butter. I am not sure why? She just doesn't want to try it. So when he asked her to try it, I was not surprised when she said no. So I decided to bribe her - not thinking it would actually work. I told her I'd give her $5 if she tried it. She did it! And loved it! Then she looked at me, held out her hand, … [Read more...]
Sick Princess: Our Experience at Urgent Care
Two nights ago, our Princess had a fever. She has not been sick very many times in her life, so we were worried, but realized that a fever was common in a child. Her best friends here, (I have not told you about her best friends have I? Another post to come.), were sick over the weekend with a fever as well. So I knew it was something they all caught at church. Yesterday afternoon, the fever spiked, despite Ibuprofen, to 103.4 degrees. My husband decided to go online and get some information. … [Read more...]
No Way!
My Princess' new favorite phrase: NO WAY!At first, when she started saying it, we thought it was funny. We didn't know where she picked it up. It is scary what a little sponge she is becoming! She copies almost everything we say. After two weeks of "No Way", we are getting tired, and upset with her for saying it.Mommy: "Pick up your puzzle pieces, please."Bella: "No way."Mommy: "Don't let your slime (church craft) sit out, it will dry out."Bella: "No way."Mommy: "Grab mommy a diaper, you are … [Read more...]
Thankful Thursday
I am very excited. Last night my daughter woke up at 10:30pm, rolled over, and told her daddy, "Pee Pee". He asked her if she went, which she replied no, and then he asked her if she needed to go which she replied, "aye". (I did tell you all once before that she says, "aye", for yes.)Up she got, sat down on Mr. Turtle (our turtle shaped potty seat), and peed!How stinkin' (no pun intended) cool is that?It did take her about 20 minutes to get back to sleep, but we didn't mind. That is the second … [Read more...]
