great news!

oh hey... thought i'd pop in to let you know that this darling girl is POTTY TRAINED!?!
like, 100% totally and completely potty trained.
i have found myself at least 30 times saying "thank You Lord" & "praise You Jesus" in complete awe.
meaning, i have no idea how it happened... it just did. all Him, not me.


we went from this [the very first day] where she's crying for a diaper!?!


to loving her big-girl status. 
undies-wearing, potty-going, prize-getting is very fun :)


she even wore undies to her birthday party. we brought her little potty in the car 
[still hasn't warmed up to the big potty, at home or in public, but that will come]


best part is, i figured we'd do daytime and nighttime all at once and it totally worked!
4 out of 5 nights have been completely dry.
to say i am relieved and thankful and excited is a HUGE understatement.
[read my last experience with trying to potty train when she was just over 2yrs old: here and here]

i'll come back tomorrow and maybe give you a few pointers or tidbits of advice,
 even though i consider myself FARRR from an expert. 
but i do have some insight that i think is helpful.

    So many congrats!! I'm working on it with our little girl who is 22 months but I have a three month old as well so I'm far from completely committed to the potty training. She still isn't grasping the concept of telling me she has to go before she goes. Oh well. We will get there. Love the pony prize. I adored my little pony when I was little. Maybe I can offer that as a prize for Annabel. Maye she just needs a tad more incentive...

    hey Jennifer, i plan to elaborate a bit more in my post tomorrow, so stay tuned for that. but also, i'll say that i tried when Reese turned 2 and it did not work at all. and i was so frustrated and defeated over it. i think she wasn't ready and neither was i! so there's no harm in waiting a little bit if you're feeling like it's just not clicking. Reese just turned THREE, so really, no harm in waiting :) but again, i'll have more tomorrow!

instafriday #22

ahhh, it feels good to be back. it's been a long time since i've dumped my insta-photos on you!  so here we go: my mug swap arrived :) it is so cute, and honestly, this is exactly the kind of reminder i need in the morning. the baby has been waking up at 5:30. it's still dark out. and she doesn't go back to sleep after her bottle :( i need to see it as an opportunity to be thankful, spend time with the Lord, and rejoice...  instead of stumble and groan and wish for more sleep. i'm making a bunch of these cute headbands this weekend.  hoping to have them for sale next week.  aren't they cute? and super-fallish.  i've never been one to pay too much attention to the trends,  or the pantone fashion colors [because honestly i don't have the money. or desire.]  but i do see some tangerine tango and bright chartreuse in these ;) for each grandchild, my husband's family has an ice-cream party tradition at their 6-month b...
