Update: Potty Training and Other Fun

This last week we did many things!  We worked on Potty Training Boo, took a trip to Riverside Park and gave Boo her first hairstyle.  First I'll talk a tiny bit on Boo's new haircut.  I've waited a while for the sides of her hair to grow out and catch up to the back of her hair.  Finally the time came and we trimmed it up into a little bob style.  I will miss putting her hair up in pigtails for a little while, but she doesn't like me to do that these days anyway and she rips them out about as quick as I put them in, so I'm sure SHE will be happier.  Hopefully this will help to get her hair to thicken up too!

Second, we went to the park last week since Bubbie and Boo have so much pent up energy these days.  I feel so bad, because I'm trying to find a balance between making sure they spend time with Daddy and still getting out for some social fun.  So far, I wouldn't say I've found that balance.  We only get a couple of hours to spend with Daddy in the late morning and afternoon time, so it's been difficult to make it to any of the fun activities of the SAHM's group.  I have missed attending meetups so BADLY!  I also really miss my Mommy time that I would get in the evening to go out with friends.  I MISS you all!  Hopefully soon Daddy will be back on first shift, so that we all get more time to do the things we want.  Daddy also has been required to work a ton of overtime on the weekends, which also adds to the stress level around here and doesn't make much time for getting together with friends.  As you can see, it has been a time of many transitions and not the good kind.  Can't wait to get back to the old routine!

In the picture with the slide, Bubbie was so sweet!  He waited for Boo to get on the slide and I counted to three and said GO!  Great picture!  Bubbie is such a great big brother!

Boo's new do!

Third is Potty Training.  I'm happy to report that PT has come along rather swimmingly and we are officially DIAPER FREE in this house!!  To say that I'm excited doesn't fully express my feelings.  It is such a sense of freedom to know I never have to change another diaper!  I am quite shocked really at how easy this has gone.  For a couple of weeks, Boo had her share of accidents, but she has gone 4 days now without one accident!  Let up hope I didn't just jinx it by saying this, hehehe.  Personally I'm so happy that Boo made this process so much easier than Bubbie did, but overall when it comes to PT we have been very lucky!  I will say though, that I don't expect Boo to stay dry through the entire night yet, so she does sleep with a Pull-up on, but she does nap in underwear and stays dry!  I am so PROUD of my little girl, she has done a GREAT job!!  Congrat Boo on becoming a full fledged big girl!

Well there you have it, everything you need to know about what has been going on around here for the last week.  Hope you enjoyed it!  Until the next post....
