One Week


In one week we will be heading out for a trip to Sacramento, JUST THE TWO OF US.

Yes, that's right, no kids.

Although I'm a little sad they can't join us, I'm way more excited to spend 3 days with John.

I haven't spent more then 1 night away from the kids EVER, as in I have seen them every single day of their lives. 

I'm proud of that, but also ready for a break. 

Anyhow, we are flying out on Friday & going to a little town called Auburn where we will spend the next 3 days exploring wine country, hiking & most importantly, seeing our beautiful niece Meaghan get married! 

We will get to spend some great quality time with our wonderful family.

I couldn't be more excited!

I'm so glad we won't miss Meaghan's wedding & I think it will be really good for us. 

I know I'm going to miss the kids like crazy.  I'm trying not to worry about that aspect.  I know they will be having a great time without us.  They are gearing up for a beach trip with my Mom & Auntie Jessica, so they probably won't even have a chance to miss us. 

I love that I'm leaving them in good hands, that makes it not just easier to do something like this, but possible.  We are so lucky to have such a great, loving, supportive family in every direction we turn.  We are all so very blessed.

One week, bring it, lets do this!!

Actually, on second thought, I love having things to look forward to, so in many ways I have already gotten a lot out of this trip. 

So maybe, rather then rushing to next weekend, I will take this week slow & just soak in this time I have with my kids & the anticipation for things to come...

Sounds fun, but I totally get the whole leaving your kids for a night or two thing. We are leaving Aubrey overnight for the very first time this weekend, and I am super nervous about missing her too much. But couple time is super important! Hope you two have a blast!

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
