Merry Christmas!!

I have a little tradition of taking the girls to 
Pump it Up instead of the mall to see Santa.
 It's pretty much shear brilliance, I feel like 
every mom should know this trick.
 There are NO OTHER KIDS waiting.
Just a casual environment where they get
to chat with Santa, no line and they get 
cookies to boot!  You take your own picture,
they don't even try to do their own to
sell to you.
 Norah ran up and said "Hi Santa!!"
So cute.
 She was pretty taken by him.
Love.
 Her hair in pigtails kills me.  I should do it more
often, it sort of makes me forgive all the naughty.
Or at least some of it.
 Love her pigtails too, the eye rolling, not so much.
 Reading with Grandma.



 Why is she growing up so fast???
 Sisters.

 Ava is so spoiled, Auntie took her to see
The Nutcracker.  She kept rubbing it in Norah's 
face, "Sorry Norah, you don't get to go to the 
Nutcracker...Just me, you are too little."

So I told Ava we were taking Norah to Disneyland 
while she was gone.

I think she got the hint.
This is the lazy mom's version of leaving cookies 
out for Santa.  I'm sure he likes 2 week old giant 
gingerbread men right??  

I will leave you with my favorite picture of the girls
with Santa, you might have to click on it to make 
it bigger, Norah's little cheesey grin is so worth it.
Love these girls with all that I am.

Hope you all have a very merry Christmas!!
Love to all!

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
