Date Night!!


I know, I can't believe it either!! Hells yeah!! We went to the best little hardly-restricted happy hour we have found yet (we have spent many pre-Ava years dedicating much of our adventures to this exploratory task). We headed out to the totally over populated Bridgeport Village in hopes to catch Avatar on IMAX but pretty much knew there was no way that was happening. We had back up plans galore so we ended up getting tickets to Youth in Revolt & headed out to find where we should dine. We were just a few minutes before 6, when all happy hours turn sad. Each restaurant was on an hour and half wait but we lucked out and found two chairs we were able to pair up at the bar at The Macaroni Grill. Turns out they have a better then happy hour deal. Some of their top dishes all for 2.99 each and any wine for 4.99. Can't really beat that & it was sooo delicious! The movie was excellent too.

It used to be hard to leave Ava, now I am already plotting our next outing. Screw the next baby, they can stay home too.

I love my husband and it is so nice to have adult time with him, not to mention Ava had a blast on her extended playdate. Fun for all.

We wrapped up the evening in a non-traditional way of picking up the kiddo and heading home to have a game night with all my siblings. Very nice especially considering Jeff leaves to head back up to Canada tomorrow.

All in all great night, now off to bed, hope John is still awake, although I am sure he won't mind if I wake him up. : )

Adventures in Potty Training...

Image
I began potty training Ava right around the time she turned one. I broke out the potty and began encouraging away. She faked interest in the beginning but soon it became apparent that the child was a little hopeless, to say the least. Throughout the year that followed I realized that this strong willed child would need a little more time, as well as mom backing the heck off. Before she turned two I came across a blog a mom was writing who made a bold statement of parents simply being lazy if they aren't potty training their kids very quickly. I was so mad about when I read that but also felt like maybe she was right all at the same time. It motivated me to simply take away Ava's diapers and sort of force her into being ready. I spent the entire day encouraging her as she had accident after accident. She managed to pee in her potty about 4 times and everywhere else about 347 times. I was so stressed out, so was she. At one point she peed on the floor and looked up at me...
