Zoo Fun with the Class

 We had a great little zoo field trip with Ava's
class yesterday morning. 

I knew Ava would struggle with getting up early
to go and sure enough she was super dramatic
about how tired she was.  But we still made it 
there on time, which always makes me happy.
 In fact, we were there BEFORE the zoo even opened
which meant front row parking and no real lines to get in.
 I love when it's not busy there, the last time we went
was a total claustrophobic NIGHTMARE.
 This time though, not only were there no crowds but
the weather was amazing.
 The kids were even pretty great too. 
 They all had fun together for about 2 hours and 
then they were done.  Perfect.
 Norah is generally my biggest challenge, and today
was no different.  You have to bring a stroller, but she
wants out, you have to let her out but then she never 
wants back in...she did pretty well though.
 So even though I thought I deserved at t-shirt that said 
"I survived the zoo with 8 kids"
 Really, these kids made it pretty easy & quite enjoyable.  : )

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
