Catching up...Lots of Randomness

Ready for random?  Let's start here...
Here's a little group shot from day trip we took to Kah-Nee-Ta to visit Linda, Kim & Abby.  The girls loved it there!!
 This picture captures so many things for me; the sweet littleness of my girl, her brave, adventurous spirit, and how my family teams together in support of my kids every effort with love & outstretched arms. They are all such a blessing to me!!! It takes a village & I couldn't be more grateful for our little village! Thank you Kim for capturing this moment!

 We love Sophia!
 Summer sleeping
 Favorite friends.

On Norah's half birthday, I took her to the store with me in the morning.  While we were out she mentioned how she was sure the house was going to be all decked out for her party (there is no party for her half birthday, we just like to pretend like everything we do that day is special) so I text John and said, blow up a few balloons or something quick!  

We came home to this:
 John & Ava decorated for her (they put a box of green Jello, which was her one birthday request, in the middle of the table)
 They had fun making Jello, something we never do.

 Ava made this rainbow out of streamers for Norah.
 Then she decided the only color missing was purple, and that Norah could BE the purple. 
 Here's Ava doing Norah's makeup,  With water.

 Here's the kiddos helping auntie make orange rolls for Jan's wedding shower.
They randomly kissed each other and said I love you.  So sweet.

 They loved "helping" make the rolls.  

My favorite part was when Jessica gave Ava the bowl of very important orange filling and set her in front of the fan to cool it.  What could go wrong???  

 Sorry this was all over the place!  I'm feeling a little more caught up, sort of...

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
