What a day... (Not)

Today I had to call my babysitting in early for the day. I normally watch the girls for 8+ hours but today I couldn't. I have had a headache since Sunday and it wont go away. After my friend picked the girls up I slept on the couch near my daughter to try and get rid of it but it still lingers.

But on the plus side, yesterday Ambrielle and I decided that we would have a "nice fair share". We had small incident where she got upset with the youngest girl I watch and pushed her. I took Brie into another room to have her understand that it isn't nice pushing people. I sat her down and told her that she needed to be nice, fair, and also share. I had her repeat after me about 20 times , "Be nice, Be Fair, and Share." It's working so far!

We had a couple accidents yesterday and only one so far today! I'm so proud of my baby girl! She has been giving me false alarms all day as well but that's the important part, that she understands that she doesn't go potty or poop in her pants anymore. I'm okay with the false alarms, she is enjoying to go on the potty too! I couldn't be anymore proud of her!

Potty Training and more!

Thanks to my lovely In-Laws my daughter is slowly being potty trained! She spent the week with Grandpa David, Grandma Gail, and Aunt Sara last week. They did the amazing job of starting the potty training and I cannot say thank you enough for that! The little things family do for each other is incredible.

Since we picked her up from them yesterday after church we have had 5 success trips to the potty but two accidents. It happens though, so I know we will do better!

Today we are also watching my friend's two little girls so now I have a three, two and one year old under the same roof! This will be an interesting ride for sure!

I also have more things that I can craft on Thursday that I've been wanting to try for a while now. I'm excited and can't wait. If I can get the girls to all lay down for nap at the same time I might be able to do a little bit today.

I made 23 cards last week as well! I would have made 25 but ran out of the paper to make more. I did 5 designs and have to say that they are some my better designs so far!
