I promise, I will not bite. I have had a live feed on my blog for a few months and it shows everyone stopping by and what city they are coming from. So, why not just say hi and leave a comment? I love to connect with new bloggers and of course existing bloggers. 🙂
I have just noticed my comments in the last couple weeks have went down. So if you are out there, I would love to hear from you. Have a great rest of the weekend!!!
I believe it is safe to say, potty training is complete. She has went three straight days with no diapers and goes straight to they potty without us even telling her.
It is sort of bitter sweet though. How did my baby girl get so big? I miss those baby thighs! I am very happy about not buying anymore diapers, but that was the only baby part I was hanging on to. I know I’m so silly… but it is very hard to move on from the baby stage. I just want to freeze time sometimes. L said this morning to me… Mommy I am a big girl now. I was trying to be so upbeat and say yes you are, but I was having to hold the tears back to ;).
It may seem like I am boasting, when I say L at 4 years old has never had a soft drink in her life and does not want one either. She would rather have water, milk or juice. Mostly water and milk. I am just a proud mom that she would rather have those drinks that soft drinks. It is also her own will that she does not like soft drinks. She just has no desire for them.
Also, another thing she will choose peanuts or peanut butter over candy or chocolate. We were at the grocery store today, and the cashier just thought it was so weird because she chose peanuts in the checkout line instead of candy.
Being healthy really plays a lot on my minds, because when I was growing up we did not eat the healthiest things. We just ate whatever we could get our hands on to get by and unfortunately it was junk a lot. So by the time I was in 8th grade, I turned to starving myself to get off the weight of me. I got down to a very dark time of just skin and bones. I totally do not want that for my girls. I know self image means a lot to girls, so I want to raise my girls on more healthier options.
I am losing weight the healthy way this time, and not going to starve myself. Even though it has entered my mind to do that, I want to prove a good example to my girls. So water and peanuts it is for this diet HAHAHAHA… at least that is what L says ;).
So my little L has been night trained over a year and due to her tummy issues, we had a setback over the summer that put her back in diapers during the day. I think (knock on wood) we have finally put her tummy issues to rest, so I thought I would go ahead and take the diapers away again.
She did so good all last night and all day today. Well when she woke up from her nap this evening, it wasn’t good. Oh my it wasn’t good. My ears, the tears that were flowing from my face, her face, her big sis M trying to soothe her. It just wasn’t good :(. L was screaming from the top of her lungs that she wanted a diaper. She wasn’t taking that little two word NO either.
You all this broke my heart to pieces. I DO NOT let my girls cry. We have always been attached and I have always been there for them drop of a hat, so to hear L cry like this was tearing me to shreds. Finally after about a hour of soothing, talking calmly, (I never once lost control of myself) and assuring her everything was going to be ok, she went “woo woo” in the potty twice. That’s all her little tummy needed and I had back my pretty blue-eyed, black hair girl. The smile and her arms around my neck was just what I needed. I had told Nell that I needed a (((HUG))) tonight and just a bit after that… I got it from my baby girl :). So we are day 2 down…. can we make it through day 3. Chant with me!!!! I don’t know what I’ll do with not having to buy diapers anymore after 6 years.
I love Christmas… yes I DO. It’s honestly the most wonderful time of year. So, I changed my ringtone today to Jingle Bell Jingle Bell Rock. L already has the song memorized now and both girls just dance when my phone rings. I love it 🙂
Now that the election will be over, I look forward to seeing the Christmas commercials, Christmas shows and the Christmas songs on TV and radio.
How about you?
