Over the weekend...

 We had a fun weekend, Saturday was great.  John planned a nice family hike for us followed by our first trip of the Summer to the farmers market.  It was really hot that day so we got a fairly early start.  The hike was so fun!


 The kids really enjoyed it.  We had to do the big loop because we really wanted to see the pond.  Thankfully the path is stroller friendly and Ava was a good sport about walking so far, even though it was a bit much for her. 

 I'm glad we made it down to the pond, there we saw frogs, a salamander, tadpoles and a few swimming snakes.  It was really cool!





 The place even has a great park, although we didn't stay to play too long as it was getting quite hot and the farmers market was only open 2 more hours. 
 It was fun seeing all the great produce & hand made products, we bought a few things, but mostly just had fun looking around. 
 Next we all cooled off over at the fountains.



 We even ran into some friends of ours there, it was great!
 Such a perfect way to end a nice morning! 

While Norah was napping John set up the tent outside & got our backyard all "camping" ready.
 The kids were thrilled!  They really enjoyed sleeping out there with John, while I on the other hand, stayed in the comfort of our house.  I love this version of camping...
Thanks my love for planning & executing such a fun 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
