Looking Forward...

I'll be honest, I've been in a total funk lately.  

This stay at home mom stuff can be a bit isolating and lonely.  

I'm not saying I don't love it, because I 100% do.  

I just really need to talk to other adults and have sanity breaks from my kids.  That's where the running & the yoga help me so much.  Not for the loneliness factor, but for the mental part.  It keeps me sane.  And focused on ME, which is such an easy part of the mix to lose when all you do is help these little demanding people all day.  

I didn't go to yoga for a week and I swear I felt like I was falling into a depression.  But I went tonight and I feel so much better.  Yay.

I also got to talk to one other adult today, D'Auna, my sister in law, whom I adore.  She is such a blessing to me.  And the girls can't get enough of Alayah of course too!
The girls & I also went on our typical walk around the block...
Which generally includes a lot of stuff like this, laying on the sidewalk, for no real reason at all.
& picking lots of wishes.
This picture will forever remind me of the way Norah counts right now, and can have no other title then 
"One, Two, Four, Sixteen". 

Tomorrow is going to be a good day, we are headed to the beach.  And things are really looking up, my mood & 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
