Day 4

I must say I imagine when Kevin married me he didn't expect the mom version of myself that I have become over the last four years. As I put Audrey in a front pack today and put Kevins coat on so that it was large enough to cover Audrey and tucked my not so properly done hair behind my ears to bring Karaline to the park, I thought wow, Kevin look at your Vogue wife, haha. I've never thought of myself as vogue, but I certainly didn't imagine I'd become as granola as I am now. I'm a breast feeding, cloth diapering, infant potty training, home-preschool hosting mom who is more concerned with baking my kids snacks to avoid artificial junk than I am with up keeping my hair. Far off, I imagine from the cosmetologist who wouldn't leave the house without make up on pre-mom version of myself .

So my ever expanding mommy heart is enjoying this baby potty time. We make it a little potty party every hour the girls and I all go into the bathroom and we all hang out enjoying three minutes cut off from the world. It's actually become something I look forward to. Audrey didn't use the potty much today, she's teething and clingy so she didn't really want put down much today. I just let her lead if I put her on the potty and she cried I picked her back up.

Well, Karaline and I escaped for a mommy daughter time and now I have two sleeping little girls and a semi clean house, who could ask for more.

If you decide to start potty training, my advice is to make it fun, no stress baby trained or toddler trained they won't go to school in diapers.


Good night =D

  1. Agreed...good for you though. Each kid is differant...Liana wanted nothing to do with it and flat out told me she didn't want to...then one day she did and that was it. Braydon on the other hand starts whining the instant he poops and stops as soon as he's changed...hoping that this is a sign that he will potty train sooner. You are a great mom and great moms always realize that their kids come first and we as well as our apperance for the first few years comes much further down the chain of priorities.
