Playhouse 2010

Hoff and Dad are putting together the base of the playhouse here.  It started out being just a playhouse for the girls and has expanded into a garden shed for me once the girls have outgrown the playhouse part.

This is day 2. The walls went up on this day.  It took them quite some time to get things going as they were figuring and building as they went.

Day 3 and 4 was completing the roof and getting the finishing touches on the building.  We need to find a little door for it, which may be kind of tricky as its a 30" x 5 ft door entry. We are just taking it slow. Hoff has built the girls a little wooden bed for the house also.  It's in our living room now and Gracie likes to lay on it and watch tv.  I'll put more posts later of the finished product, but Gracie already likes "my house."

"I Gotta Go Potty Mom!"

We finally bit the bullet, started potty training and I think we have it pretty well bagged. We started off going potty every hour the first day and we had a lot of accidents. I was thinking to myself  "This isn't going to work!" She'd either pee like 20 minutes after we had gone or like 10-20 minutes before the hour mark. The second day was similar to the first but we were about 50/50 for getting to the toilet.  Same for the 3rd day; much less pee in the pants and more in the potty.  We were doing diapers at nap time and bed time and have eliminated nap time diapers. We are only making her wear diapers at bedtime now.  We have the occasional accident but I'm calling her pretty well potty trained at 31 months! Yea for you Gracie and victory for Mom & Dad!!! Whoo Hoo!

I'm Moving!

I am now crawling around everywhere. I really like being able to roam around on my own, but really I want to just walk.  I am standing at the furniture side, but I am not brave enough yet to walk holding on yet.

I am really into electronics. I LOVE the remote control.  This is me crawling to check out the camera.  For some reason I really like this picture - wish I could see her eyes though.

So I'm moving around but the greatest thing I started doing is .....sleeping through the nights!!!  It only took me 8 months, but boy is it nice.  I think once my teeth finally made it through, I was feeling a lot better and it was smooth sailing through the night! Yea!!!!!!!!!!
