Breaking my own rules...

There are many ideas you have when
you have children.
One of mine was never to buy Ava bikinis.
It just seems like they don't make sense for little girls.
The tops never stay in place and they seem overly
sexy for a little girl.

I told my mom when Ava was really little bikinis were
not happening, please don't buy them for her.

She promised not to, sort of.
"I promise not to buy her any bikinis, until she asks for one."
Uh...thanks Mom.

Well just like many other parenting ideas, this whole bikini
thing just flew out the window for me.

When did this happen?
In two words:

Potty Training.

Enough said.

She NEEDS a two piece bathing suit!!

Here it is, in all its crazy cuteness:


I think she likes it!
It doesn't hurt that it has a built in tutu.
She has a thing for tutus.

Also the girl just started swimming lessons.
She loves them too.

The first thing the teacher did was dunk her,
over and over again.

I tell everyone that will listen that she now
swims under water!
This makes her so proud and almost makes her forgive me
for all the times I have forced her head under water....

Adventures in Potty Training...

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
