It paid off!

Well if you read the previous post you know that I let my little ladies wear panties for a couple hours today. Adia had a itty bitty accident(almost not even worth a clean pair but we swapped em out anyway) but other than that we stayed dry! Then after pancakes(I love breakfast for dinner) we bathed them. Almost immediately after getting out of the tub Eve declared she had to go pee. To be honest I was a little skeptical because they say this all the time. But we sat her down on the little training potty and much to my surprise and delight SHE PEED!!! I was so proud, we made a big fuss, she ran and told Daddy all about it. Adia was in with Neil and saw all the excitement and said she had to go too(me skeptical once again figured she just wanted to get in on all the excitement, but we let her go) and SHE PEED TOO!!! I was SO proud! As we got ready for bed we continued to make a big fuss over them both going in the potty. To be honest I almost cried cause my little ladies are growing up so fast.
Now I realize that this doesn't by any means mean that my kids are potty trained yet BUT it gives me hope. They actually know what I mean when I talk about going potty, and they are getting the idea of how it works! What a great day!

On today's attire list

Like most 2 year olds Evelyn and Adia get dressed several times a day. Today at around 5 they asked to wear panties. Feeling ambitious, I complied. So far so good. Keep your fingers crossed.

Motherly Advice?

How early is too early? Lately the kids have been getting up anywhere between 7 and 8. And without fail the first words out of their mouths are "I need food". Now 7 is really hard for me because I usually spend most of the night switching from side to side and resituating or getting up to go pee 5 times, etc(such is life of a 31 weeks pregnant lady). Neil has been so awesome about handling these certain mornings for me. So this morning at 6:45 Adia makes her way into our room with her usual request, Neil sends her straight back to bed because there is no way that we are going to start giving them breakfast before 7 in the blessed A.M. Surprisingly, she fell back to sleep. Now that got me thinking "could I get away with sending them back to bed even after 7?". So here is my question: How early is too early, and should I just be happy when they sleep past 7 or try to demand it(yes I realize demanding anything like this from 2 year olds is a very tall order and probably crazy)?

A "must have" at our house

Elastic adjustable waist pants are a must when it comes to my kids. Their cute little bums aren't enough to hold up regular waisted pants. I have only been able to find them in the Genuine Kids brand which only seems to be at Target, and only sometimes do they carry a fairly basic pair of jeans.


I got lucky today. The pants my girls have been wearing for probably more than a year are 18 month size. Luckily they aren't too rough on pants, only a few pairs are starting to show wear in the knees and they are getting a little short. I'm excited to have some to replace them. I would recommend these to anybody.

Despicable Me

Despicable Me, an absolutely adorable movie that my kids completely love and I quite enjoy as well. Thankfully, it's funny, witty, and silly, it's just great!


I had to hurry and take pictures before the movie actually started because once it did, there would be no looking away and definitely not long enough to say "cheese".


"Spickle Me" is a favorite in our house.

Eve's Song

We were sitting in the rocking chair looking out the window and Eve just burst into song. Adi started singing in the background too.

A new approach to blogging

If you haven't noticed I'm trying a different approach to blogging. I've already outdone myself for the past 6 months in the past 2 days, many thanks to Neil and my early Valentine's/birthday present. Which makes blogging for me incredibly easy(as of right now I'm laying in bed, contemplating a nap). I hope to continue on this path of even multiple posts per day. Of course depending on the excitement of that day, but when you're the mom of 2 two year olds life is rarely quiet or boring. So wish me luck and stay tuned!
