A Beautiful Weekend

I love weekends. 
We had a nice visit with my friend Kerri on Friday, followed by a fun dinner party with Erik & Tiffani. On Saturday we went to a birthday party for my friends daughter's sweet sixteen, the girls had a blast!  Ava even took the unicorn pinata's head home, filled with candy. : )
 The girls & I went to church on Sunday.  The service was great and the kids really enjoyed Sunday School.  I was a little worried about them the whole time, well Norah, I haven't really ever left her like that.


Norah was so excited to go to Sunday School, she kept calling it "her school".  They did great and totally loved it.

 John cleaned the gutters, among a million other yard work-type tasks, he is always so great about doing. 
 

 These girls are so cute, I often can't believe how well they play together.  It's not perfect, but it's a pretty wonderful relationship. 
Norah needed a nap so Ava & I bailed and caught the end of Erik & Tiffani's fund raising soccer game, they played for 3 hours strait!  They were pretty exhausted by the time we arrived.
It was such a beautiful day, the whole weekend really, that I let Ava play at the park with Colton while I just sat in the sun, soaking it all in.

Love weekends, especially beautiful ones!!

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
