Self Sufficient!!

 These kids are growing up so fast.
Ava has been increasingly helpful with 
the laundry.  She likes to fold towels & such.
 She can put away all of her own clothes.
Today Norah scooped up her own pile of 
clothes after she heard me ask Ava to grab hers.
 These kids are just so SMART.
 I assumed that Ava would put her clothes away 
and that I would find Norah's freshly folded clothes
all over the floor of her room.  Later when I went 
back there I found them all put away!  Ava helped 
her Sister put them all in the right drawers!!
 Norah can just sit & entertain herself,
she thinks she is SO FUNNY.
 But really?  She is.  It's 100% true.
 Ava can feed herself her own grapefruit now,
and even offer Norah bites.  They usually just 
stood at my feet begging "Bite! Bite! Bite! Bite!"
It's no way to enjoy a grapefruit!  Also, this new 
system keeps Ava busy for awhile.  : )
 Next Ava suggested Norah play leap frog
with her.  Something I'm sure can't happen
successfully but it's fun to watch them try.





They play so well together. 

There is sometimes 5 whole minutes that 
go by without them needing me at all!!  : )

Love these girls!

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
