Ava's First Day

Monday was Ava's first day of preschool.
To be honest I was a little unsure of whether
to let her go or not.  

It was not that I was going to miss her so much in 
the whole 3 hours she would be gone, no I wasn't 
struggling with THAT.
 No, she was actually acting weird all day, just
not quite herself.  Now I know that she has been
beyond excited to finally get to go to school so I
 figured she must be sick.
 She didn't seem too bad off and I thought maybe it was
just nerves so I sent her on her way.  She sculpted things out of 
play-dough, painted a picture, played outside, did show and tell,
learned about the weather that day, studied the letter of the day,
had a snack and played with her new friends.
 When I picked her up I could tell she didn't feel well.
She said she had fun but she just wasn't her happy little
excited self.  In the car she told me she had a headache 
and this morning she woke up with a fever.  : (
The whole thing is a little disappointing seeing as she 
was really looking forward to her first day!!

Also I'm not a big fan of sick kids, so there is that.

In truth I'm not feeling super great myself and I suspect
Norah is a little iffy too.  I really hope we all wake up
feeling happy & normal again tomorrow!!  

On a brighter note I thought I was having company Tuesday
so I spent the whole morning & afternoon cleaning the 
house.  I got all caught up on the laundry and everything!

My company canceled at the last minute and I didn't 
even care because I was so excited about how clean
my house was!

So please, everyone, make plans to come over, you 
don't even have to show up!  I just appreciate the 
motivation it lends in getting things done FAST!  : )

Ava will only be going to preschool on Mondays
for 3 hours, so technically I have a little time to get her feeling 
better but I am planning on us all waking up well tomorrow!

We've got fun things to do, enough is enough!!

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
