Baby Steps

So I thouhg that I would update on our small potty progress.....Adelyn went to the potty on sunday all by herself for the first time!!!! yay.. We had a small pee pee party:)
She was really happy and said 'I did it Mom!' So at least she knows that it is a good thing.
Thank you for all the encouragement (except for Gilbert who pretty much said it sucks to be you...someday you will have children too:)

Potty Training Anyone?

So, I know that everyone has a hard time with potty training and wishes that their 2-3 year old would just potty train themselves. This last week we have been trying to encourage Adelyn to go in the potty and it has been a frustrating and amusing experience.
First, I took her to Walmart and had her choose some 'big girl pants'. She chose Thomas the Train (which of course happen to be big boy pants but I won't argue). We went home and had a wonderful time sitting on the potty and using a half a roll of TP and never actually going pee once. Then after about 45 minutes she stands right next to the potty and pees all over the underwear and floor.....good teaching Mom!!!
We then went to Stake Conference this morning and wore a diaper for obvious reasons and apparently one of the sides of the diaper did not get stuck tightly becuase Adelyn stands there in the ilse and has a funny look on her face that says she is going potty. I ask her if we can go get on the potty and as I do she looks down at the foor as her shoe fills with pee and overflows onto the carpet. Awsome! I love being a parent...I took her to the bathroom and changed and washed her legs and then went back to the carpet with disinfectant and towels all the while thinking that I hate potty training and would pay money for someone to do it for me! I am sure that many of you have great stories like these, and unfortunatly this will not be the last of my potty adventures.

Winter Wonderland


So I know because it has been a while since i posted pics that these are a little outdated...but they are still cute and fun. Conference weekend at the beginning of October we got this crazy snowstorm and adelyn thought that this was awsome. She went out in her pjs to enjoy our present. I had to drag her freezing body back inside for a bath, she was not ready to comne in yet but mom was!
