The Graduate.

On Friday we took a family road trip up to Canada to watch my brother Jeff graduate.  It was super fun!  There were 6 of us in the car, of which everyone but the driver was playing a game of Ticket to Ride together on our phones.  We must of played 40 games between the drive there & back! 
We were all so happy to come be with Jeff & watch this HUGE milestone in his life.  We didn't end up getting to see him Friday night but we had a nice family dinner in his honor at a place called Earl's, we had great food and laughed the whole time. 


Jeff's grandparents drove up as well, even though it didn't look promising that they were going to get tickets, but it's good they came, it all worked out!

Oh Jeff, we really couldn't be more proud of you!  So happy we were able to come share in your special day!  Here's to your very bright future!!

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...
