We need more days like this...

Today I sent Ava off with Aunt Linda
and went kayaking with my mom
on the Clackamas River
It was the most beautiful day
and just so much fun!!
I absolutely loved it!
There were just enough rapids to keep it interesting
but not scary.

I have to figure out a way to do this WAY
more often.

The whole time I was out there I kept
wishing John was with me.
Soon he will be, I will make it happen!

After we got off the river we went and had lunch
at The Stone Cliff Inn.
This was our view from our table:
Today made me feel so close to nature,
I need a little more of that in my life!
I love anything to do with water.

Ava had a great day too,
she played with Abby & Mahala at
Lake Merwin in Washington.

Linda said she out-ate everyone there.
That's my girl. : )
They were serving fruit all day,
so no surprise there...

Adventures in Potty Training...

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...
