My little Leyton Grace got her first tooth. We were visiting mi familia in Minnesota while Kenny was away on business. Can I just say...WARNING: proud wife moment...that my husband ROCKS! He was personally requested by the branch in Canada to come with the VP of Garmin! <insert theme song from The Jefferson's>...movin' on up babe!!
Leyton also got her ears pierced! Hopefully now those dummies who thought she was a boy, even though she was wearing a bow and her head and was dressed head to toe in all pink, will now stop asking me what "HIS" name is. Now does this look like a boy to you?!?
I also experienced my WORST parenting moment thus far! On Saturday, I was making Emery her gourmet lunch: macaroni and cheese (no judging ;-D). Since she is an EXTREMELY picky eater, and I have discovered that if I let her help me make her food, she'll usually eat it. SO...she was being SUCH a big girl, helping me stir the macaroni and BOOM, she leans over and places her hand on the burner. She cried, I cried...it was HORRIBLE! I cannot BELIEVE I made such a "rookie mom" mistake. I ended up having to take her to Children's Mercy. My poor little Em-Jem; this sure broke your mama's heart! She does look awfully cute with her little bandage though!
Then today we started the ever dreaded, anxiously awaited, dooms day...aka potty training day. Ever since Leyton was born, I had been anticipating the day we would start the potty training journey.. I did NOT want to have two in diapers. So, I made up in my mind that Emery was ready to potty train before she was and it was a DISASTER and a half! She screamed every time we were going to try and go potty and after a day and a half of no success, I decided to call it quits. Needless to say I was REALLY nervous about starting this time around.
This morning I woke up ready to face the day head on and then the screaming began. Then accident after accident...there was absolutely no peeing in any potties. We even had a poop meets carpet episode...CALGON! It was de ja vu all over again. But then, AAAAAAAH HALLELUJAH CHORUS, after nap-time something must have clicked because she went without prompting 7 times (yes I remember each time I DIDN'T have to clean up a puddle of pee)! Only one accident...SUCCESS! For those of you who care about my potty training saga, I'll keep you posted about Day #2!
