Busy Awesome Monday, Take One!

We started our busy Monday off with swim lessons.
I coerced John into going in the pool with Ava.
She was soooo excited!
Jumping up and down!
Here they are all lined up for their sit dives.
Here is teacher Tiffany ready to take Ava under water.
Look no Ava! Where is she?
There she is! Drowned rat style.
Swimming with floats
Life jacket safety practice
All the kids in a boat, two no so happy about it...
Ready for the slide.
I made sure John knew the drill, accidentally don't
catch Ava until she has gone under water.
John singing in the circle of moms, why does this give
me some sort of sick satisfaction? Pretty sure I promised
him they wouldn't do too much singing that day.
I think he liked it though.
I know I loved seeing him in there helping Ava swim.
They are so cute together,
plus it freed me up for taking pictures.
You know me, I am all about the photo op!

Nice! It is great to see the two of them in the water and that Ava is learning about water safety on top of swimming skills.

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...
