Day 2 - A little Better

First off, sorry that this weeks blogging is going to be about my potty training experience. lol. It helps me though to write out the woes and excitement of it all.

Well today was much better than yesterday, but we still have some way to go. Only one accident today in panties, which was nice. She did wear a diaper today though with nap time and grocery shopping. But she came home with a clean diaper from the store which was nice. I wonder if she knows how to "hold it"? No #2 yet though in potty. She has had some "issues" with going #2 in the past and we had to do a little miralax kick for a while so I am wondering if she is picking up that bad habit again...which I really hope not.

I am excited I have survived another day of this though. Granted, Brett was home almost all day with us today which was a WONDERFUL treat!! Things always go much better with him around. He keeps me from over reacting and helps me stay calm. Love him.

On other news though, Hello first day of cold in Utah!! It was in the forties today and rainy. I really like the cold and the rain is nice, but I feel sorry for Adalie who is stuck inside even more now when it gets this way. It is going to be a long winter.

We found out some nice news about Brett's schooling. He had an interview with a rep from Ohio and says he is a shoe in!! Woo hoo! They were really impressed with his GPA and says unless he completely bombed his MCAT (which we all know he did NOT, but are still waiting for the score) they would love to have him at their school and even give him a scholarship to get there. Az is still our first choice, but it is nice to know we might not end up in Chicago or somewhere in Cali...both are a little to pricey and city for me. haha.

Day 1 - Intro to Panties

She pee'd through 3 pairs of panties today. I know that sounds like a lot, but not too bad I guess considering the 10 other times she actually WENT in the potty. No poop yet though. We had to put a diaper on when she took a nap and pooped in it right before I could get her to the potty after she woke up. Sneaky girl. She never likes me to see her go "#2", so she always runs out of sight to do it. She ran off and took full advantage of having a diaper on again... ugh. She has already gotten tired of me asking about every 15 mins if she needs to go potty. She has started to say "Don't ask me", but I still do and she always has a very stern "NO" for me when she doesn't need to go.
I can see the frustrations other people have experienced. I am not a very patient person myself so this is going to get rough, I am just trying to calm myself for it. Of course I hate cleaning up pee off of my floor, but hopefully this doesn't last too much longer. Can I hope for a week of stress and then success?? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!

Another New Adventure!!

Today is Adalie's first official day in "Big Girl" panties. We will see how it goes!! Ahhh!! Wish us luck!

I Wonder

A new project for myself...how many days can I go without spending any money? We are stalked on food, milk, wipes, toilet paper, diapers, and laundry DT what else do we need? Bills are paid. I think we are set, so we are trying to see how long we can go without buying anything. LoL Sad that this might be a hard thing for me. haha

Saturday and Sunday

Our weekends around here mean one thing. Football. The season has begun and Brett is already hooked. BYU on Saturdays and Denver Broncos on Sunday, sometimes even Monday nights. ESPN is literally on all day at my house. Or Channel 13 or 2...depends which station has football on it. I forget about football season until fall when it roles around again and I lose my husband in the games. Don't get me wrong, i like watching them too but when it is on ALL day it eats at you sometimes....there is only so many bad sports commentators, screaming fans, and loud noises I can take in one day. So, here is to a quick and exciting football season...I'll see you again in January honey =)
