Happy Birthday to My Dad

In retrospect I should of posted this YESTERDAY.
Oh well, I was stuck on the order of things and 
didn't think that through.

Anyhow, on Sunday we celebrated Dad's birthday,
we had brunch out at Skamania Lodge.  I had never
been there before so I was super excited at the 
choice of location.
 The place is just beautiful.
 Right when we walked in Ava saw this couch
and ran towards it, jumping on, expecting it to 
be soft, it's wicker!  Ha!  She was shocked.
Auntie Love & my adorable husband.

 The girls loved the wooden rocking chairs by the fire.
 
 We made our way into the party & got to see the
birthday boy.  It was great how many of Dad's 
friends were able to make it out to celebrate him.
I was expecting a small family gathering but this
was so much better!
 Love Grandpa!
 & Grandma : )
 Great food, Ava was thrilled.
 It didn't take long before I had to give up
the wonderful buffet and resume chasing 
the children.  Norah really only has about 
a 15 minute sit-at-a-restaurant time frame.
 We had fun exploring the place.  
It was beautiful outside so I let them
run around out there a bit.
 Of course the halls were a hit too.
 Ava could sit at a table for hours, especially if
you keep food like this coming:
She was super excited when I let her
fill her plate with desserts.  
That had to of been a first for her.  
Really I just wanted a bite.  : )
Love these two.

Happy Birthday Dad!!
Thank you for everything!
 What a great day.

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
