Potties..

Angela has been potty trained for a while now and doesn't really ever have accidents. If she does it's because she's either too excited and preoccupied to go or my fault for not taking her when I know she has to!

Anyhow, this week she had a few accidents as she was busy playing with friends, etc and was too excited to tell me she had to go. Today she went to Toronto with Jamie and when they got home we went down to a conservation area to feed the little chickadees. Jamie said she'd probably need to go pee and I wanted to go too since we'd be walking for a while and off we went. Well.......... It was a latrine. Oh my gosh, disgusting, I know. This is what happened.

A: Mommy, what's that?
M: That's the potty!
A: *scrunches her nose* S'gross
M: Well, we have to go pee!
A: I don't have to pee.
M: We're just going to try to make sure, ok?
A: I don't want to try.
I put her on the potty.
A: Whoa, hold me mommy!
M: I got you, don't worry! Try to go pee!
A: No. I don't want to.
M: Come on Ange. You go pee and then mommy will and we'll go find gramma and grampa and feed the birds!
A: No! I'm not going pee.
M: Ok.....

lol I wouldn't have gone pee on it either, but with a toddler it's a desperate time and so the latrine was definitely a desperate measure! My child is a diva, I know. At least she was nice enough to let me put her on it! Oh heck, I love flushing toilets.

Happy February!

I can't believe we are already a month into the New Year. Remember when we were little and it seemed like time dragged on fffffffoooooooooooorrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrr?! Now it goes by so quickly!!

This will also be the month of birth! lol I am still in denial that we are having another baby. It just can't be real. We don't have a vehicle that fits our kids (legally).... We have a little house.... We already have 2 kids!! lol I get a little anxiety thinking of going into labour again, but I've been doing hypnobirthing and it's done wonders! I am so relaxed that I fall asleep every time I do my breathing exercises! Haha

I get all excited when I fold her sweet little baby clothes and think of how much I love little babies! I hope she's little in weight so that I can enjoy her tininess that much longer! Audrey was so big she didn't wear half of the newborn clothes we had!

Angela is very excited for a new baby and Audrey doesn't really understand. We babysat Maxi Trax the other day for a little bit and Audrey did not like having me take care of another baby!!! lol She's going to be a terrible big sister for the first couple days. I can already see it! (Hopefully, I can write a post-baby blog about what a great big sister she is. lol)

So, so far this year has been wonderful. We have pressed on with every day life and are doing well with keeping our family goals! It is amazing to see how the Lord has answered our prayers and provided us with opportunities to fulfill our goals.

We are still recovering from Jamie doing his MBA and it was a good trial run at not having him around all the time since the poor guy commutes 3 hours a day so the girls don't get to see a lot of him. He's also in the bishopric, so they really only have Saturdays with him. We've started doing mommy-daughter and daddy-daughter dates, so once a month we'll take one of the girls out on their own and go for ice cream or something like that. Angela is now obsessed with the "Ice Cream Shop". lol

I have been doing lots of... Cleaning, organizing, planning, sewing, painting and decorating! It's been busy. I did our bathroom, and I painted the hallway up the stairs. It's nice not to have half a painted wall that stopped at the banister. lol Now of course all the painting needs to be finished and touched up, etc. I'm really good at starting projects, and not so good at 100% completion! lol That is one of my goals this time around. I have some sewing projects I want to do, but of course I need to finish the projects I've started!

Anyhoo - I have so much to do and I'm just sitting here browsing the internet and bloggin'. My goodness I'm a time waster some days!

I love my family. <3
