Parade Fun

I took the girlies to a little local city parade on Saturday.  My good friend Becca invited us and I hadn't seen her in a long time so it was the perfect excuse to get together.
The kids loved all the action.  People in costumes, marching bands, floats, music, fencing, karate, dance teams, police, unicycle riders, there was just so much to see!



The parade people walking by handed out so much stuff to the kids; flyers, beach balls, buttons, flags, baseballs, pencils, toothbrushes, even old library books!
 
 But really?  They were all about the CANDY. 
CANDY, CANDY, CANDY!!!!
Ugh.



Rather then worrying about their little eyes glazing over from all this loot I choose to look on the bright side, now we won't need to buy nearly as much candy to hand out come Halloween!  : )

We'll for sure be doing this parade again next year, so fun!

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
