62 reasons I hate myself right now.

I was gearing up to write a post about Ava. It was going to be kind of sappy.

The last two days I have been just watching her and thinking about how lucky we are. She is SUCH a good girl. She has a really kind heart, she is hilarious, smart, loving, patient, great with other kids and just over-all remarkable. I can't get enough of her. Who ever said 2 was a bad age was crazy. This is the best age. I am not saying she doesn't have her moments, especially since naps are now a thing of the past, but she is pretty much just plain wonderful. I feel so lucky to have this perfect little person be our daughter...

Over the last 2 days I have taken over 400 pictures.

John's Parents are here visiting and we have been having an absolutely wonderful time. We always do when they are here. I have been inseparable from my camera & I haven't missed one good shot during the whole trip so far. I thought I better take some time out to edit said photos because anything over 400 and my head might explode! After going through each shot and cropping, adjusting the exposure, fixing red eye I ended up with 62 pictures I was really happy with. There were at least 12 shots I ABSOLUTELY LOVED. I was so excited to post them and then....

I ACCIDENTALLY DELETED THE ENTIRE CARD!!!!!!!

If I ever stop crying I will let you know & I wish I was kidding....

2 days. 2 days. 2 days.

I have to keep telling myself that. It could be so much worse.

Why is it Ava just happened to be cuter then she ever has been before in the last two days???

She better be super photogenic tomorrow or I may never forgive her.

My New Life As Mom said…
Oh hun, it could be so much worse! I don't know if you read Sarah's post on Becoming Sarah but she had her cat spill water on her laptop and she lost all the baby pictures of Charlotte for the first couple (4?) months of life. YOUCH! Just try and take a breath and start over, I'm sure you'll get some great ones to replace them.

I do follow Sarah but only started a few months ago so I didn't know that. Oh my that would be the worst thing ever!!! We have like 4 sets of back up disks of at least the first 23 months so there is that :) I got some good photos this morning and I gotta go to go get some more before I head out to work, thank you for the perspective!

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
