Happy Halloween!!

Here is phase one of our Halloween,
which of course will continue throughout
the day today.

 First lets go through what it takes to 
BEE happy, Ava style.


Scary.


 Love that girl.

Next we headed out for our traditional
trick or treating at Cushman & Wakefield,
we've gone there every year since Ava's 
very first Halloween.  Auntie Jessica
doesn't actually work there anymore but
they were gracious enough to still invite 
us to come enjoy the festivities. 
 I never actually tried this costume on Norah,
every time I asked her if she wanted to 
wear it she gave me a firm "NO!!"

Regardless, she was happy as a clam to wear
it today.  Even the hat, she never even tried 
to take off, gotta love that.
 Haunted house?  At first they were scared...

After going through once clinging to me,
Ava ended up LOVING it. She insisted on
going through four more times!  She even 
ended up trying to scare the mummy guy 
waiting inside to scare her.  They all got a 
kick out of that!
Norah just plain loved it the whole time, she 
was laughing all the way through even though
there was NOTHING funny, just spooky.
She caught onto this whole candy-getting
thing SO QUICKLY!
 You want to give me candy?? OK!  

I don't actually know what candy is
but it seems like a fun idea....
 She was happily leading the way.

BEE pretty.
So much fun!! 
I can't tell you how much I LOVE
that Norah is old enough to really 
enjoy this.  It's so great seeing them
have this much fun together. 

I pray TODAY goes as well.
Happy Halloween!!

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
