I'm taking the plunge!

Here goes nothing, I'm stocking up on potty Patty training panties and plunging into a diaper limited world (I'll certainly still diaper at night).
      The beginning of another yeast rash is my final motivator. How will this go? I don't quite yet know. We may have to try for a month or a year, but we will eventually succeeded. Bottom line disposable diapers make me less motivated to keep up with potty time and cloth diapering is not functioning perfectly like it did with Karaline, so training panties are my option of choice for now.
    I have to tell you a few fun stories:
Kevin has now learned to recognize the poop face, today it saved him from a major bath time clean up. Great job super daddy!
Last weekend at Audrey's first birthday party at a lake I was holding her naked on my hip well I prepped her change of clothes when I saw what looked like a possible poop face and at that second realized she was beginning to poop on me. Luckily I was able to hold her out and remain mostly clean, but what a laugh. Apparently she's not quite at the point to boldly inform me of her poop intention every time. Oh another thing, if you've trained your one year old to go pee when you say "ok go pee pee" don't use that same line on a two year old you're watching for a friend while holding your one year, who is only wearing a swim diaper (they don't hold pee) on your hip. Yep that's right in the last week I've been pooped on, peed on, and even used the underside of my dress to wipe my daughters mouth. I am all mom and Kevin can still find my appeal, even in the moments when I feel like it's unimaginable.
   Well, I'm going to go enjoy a productive night to myself as one happy wife and mama.

Three's a party, so baby lets potty in a hurry

I just have to say I am so excited right now. Summer has come to Pennsylvania, I'm four days into cloth diapering again with no rash issues and Audrey's potty party is still going well. We're eating a lot more berries now that she's one and the season allows, so that has made for a few diaper messes but still most potty happens on the potty. I would venture to say if I were more diligent to make potty breaks consistent I believe I could be a diaper free baby mama. However,  I have always said that if potty time is a stress its not worth it so I'm not stressing. I do have to say that these potty time chronicles will continue long after Audrey's potty story is a thing of the past because I'm currently incubating baby number three. I am due November 10th and unless the ultrasound tech was wrong we're going to have a boy. We're very excited! I must admit I'm slightly nervous about the closeness in age (17 months) but mostly about having a boy. Although any nervousness Kevin may have had about the closeness in age went out the window when he read BOY!
So I'm on cloud nine, this summer is going to be great, my girls are amazing little gifts and I love being their mother and we get to have another little blessing.

I'm enjoying project baby lets potty and as my brother says we're filling up the mini van. Cheers buddy! (Oh wine sounds nice right now)
