Craft-Challenged

I love Fall.
 We are getting all festive around here.

And when I say "all festive" I mean we have 
a few pumpkins sitting by our door & 
Halloween costumes purchased.  

The only other decorating I did was this:
Thanks Katharina!!  It really helps having crafty
friends!!
 I'm trying to get more crafty around here too.
This takes a lot of effort, I'm not prone to craftiness 
and it's a little of a struggle to encourage messiness.
 We've been working on these little rocks,
they might end up a rock family with googly eyes.

We also made a little 5 senses project the other day
it was based on this:
 impressed that Ava knew, with no prompting, what 
all five of her 5 senses were.  Hers looked a lot like 
this one and if I was one of those sentimental moms
(or at least a better blogger) I would of at least taken
a picture of HERS before I threw it away. 
 I'm always a little scared she will find all of 
her hard work in the trash but she might as well
find out how cold hearted I am now : )
At least they have a nice Daddy...

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
