Norah got to go kayaking again...

I would say I got a last minute invite to go kayaking yesterday
but really it was more like I invited myself...
Mom & Linda were going so really where else should I be?
It is oh so relaxing...I think we even had to wake Linda
up at some point.
It was an absolutely beautiful day.
So warm, so peaceful. We were the only ones out there
aside from a few fisherman.
My wonderful Mom, she has all the good toys : )
Linda : )
We made it back just as the sun was about to go down.
Our fun didn't stop there. Afterward we went to a little
dive bar and had some delicious pizza, played a few
games of Ticket to Ride and a little video poker.

I always have so much fun hanging out with my Mom
& Aunt Linda, they are the best!

Where was Ava during all this you ask?
I really considered taking her along, but truthfully I don't
think she is quite ready yet. It takes too many hours, the
water would constantly be splashing her in the face, she
would be cold and probably a little scared. I am thinking
we will give her about 2 years and then game on!!

Ava spent the day over at Katharina's house playing with
her little friends and doing cute artistic projects like this:
I think she did pretty well over there although
it is hard to say, when I called to check on her
Katharina answered the phone screaming "HELP!!!"

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...
