Spray Park Field Trip

The one difficult thing about having good little 
sleepers is waking them up early when you have
to be somewhere. 

I try to never schedule anything too early but 
field trips happen when they happen and we 
don't want to miss them!

This one was at a park in Hillsboro with 
a fun little water feature, which was perfect since
it was 103 degrees today!!  Yikes!

Norah gets up early, oh and while we are on the 
subject, she wakes up MISERABLE every. single.
day.  I can't even remember when this began, she 
used to be a happy little thing and slept in much later.
I just want to write that down because *maybe*
if I write down the fact that she wakes up early and 
unhappy EVERY SINGLE DAY she will do what 
my kids love to do and prove me wrong.
Please Norah, follow suit on this!!  

Anyhow, getting Norah up early isn't the problem,
it's Ava who loves to sleep in.  In fact she slept in until
11:15 the other day!!  That will never happen again 
(see note above) but it was fun while it lasted.  

So this morning when I woke Ava up she was MAD
even though she knew about this field trip and was 
excited about it, she was still not at all happy that I 
was waking her up at the ungodly hour of 8:15 : )

Love that!!


















I think Ava would agree, 
totally worth being woken up for : )

Loving the preschool field trips!!

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
