Fun with Friends

What a great weekend!  We had some visitors,
not just any visitors but the Uppys!  Four of our
very favorite people!
 In honor of our babies getting together we dressed them as twins!
 Seren is so cute!!

 Rhi was holding Seren and Norah climbed right up there on her lap, she needed to be part of that too.
 In fact every time I turned around Norah was trying to get Rhi to pick her up.  She LOVES her!
 Matt & Rhi went to see Matt's sister Jenni's dance performance, we watched the kids.
 We have two kids, what's two more right?  Piece of cake right?
 Hummm, Seren did NOT agree.
 We tried everything, we fed her, fed her again, changed her, walked her around, bounced her, got her toys, set her down, picked her back up, took her outside, checked her for pins, followed all the happiest baby on the block tips, gave her ibuprofen, gave her to Tiffani, took her from Tiffani, swaddled her up and put her to bed.  Now I'm not saying she cried the whole time, I'm just saying little chick missed her mama.  She did mention her a few times (read a million) (she actually says mama, like a baby should) but that is our final verdict.  That or she hates me, John, Erik and Tiffani, which is totally possible.

We did get her happily to sleep and when she woke back up after her parents had returned she looked at me with the biggest smile as she held onto her mom.  "See?  Now I'm good"  Ha!

 The other children liked us : )
Our families are so perfect together.  I love Rhi to death and could sit & talk to her for days, John & Matt love playing video games together, Ava and Tyler adore each other & play great too!  Who could ask for anything more??  I can't wait for the littlest girls to really start playing, so fun!!

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...
