Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas with family and friends! It was so fun to watch Anna this year as she took in all of Christmas. Although she was excited for Santa to arrive, we were probably more excited! :)
This week I decided to tackle Potty Training. At 2 1/2 years old I figure it's about time. I have resorted to Anna walking around naked from the waist down in hopes to begin the process. And I have to say.... IT'S WORKING! (Most of the time!) Phew.... I was sure that I would have a highschooler in diapers. We've only had one major setback..... Today while getting ready I hear, "Mom, I pooped." You can imagine my horror knowing that Anna was not wearing underwear. :0 Yep.... there it was.... on the floor.
Oh the adventures of a 2 1/2 year old. You'd think that just being this age would wear you out enough to want to take a nap. Unfortunately we battle naps everyday. We've tried everything from the pack and play, to sleeping in mom and dad's room, to moving the bed up to Lacy's room (without toys!), to holding her most treasured toys hostage until the nap happens. Still we battle the nap. :)
I am learning quickly that cleaning the house with kids around is like shoveling the driveway when it's still snowing, pointless. Although I need more sleep constantly, choose sweats over jeans daily, and some days feel as though I'm the one in need of a timeout I would never give up the chance to stay home with the kiddos!
I know that in 10 years I will look back and laugh at the hurdles we've jumped over. If I could only find them hilarious now..... :)
