Seriously... GROSS!

So today started out like any other normal day. The usual stuff like laundry, cleaning Carsen's room and today I was changing sheets on the beds. I was in the bedroom putting the new sheets on our bed when Hannah came in and I noticed she needed a new diaper. Well I brought her to the living room to change her and Carsen said "oh Mama, big poopy" so I said yes Hannah had a yucky diaper. Then he said "no Mama, big poopy" and pointed.

Where did he point.... AT THE TV!

Yes, he too had a lovely poopy diaper and decided that since I was in the other room he would smear it all over the tv. Oh and since he was wearing a diaper that means he is still refusing the go on the potty. Ahhh.. such a wonderful day! I think I need a vacation away from the kids and all that is poopy and gross!

Hannah my little daredevil can climb on anything. The only problem is once she climbs up on something she sits there and whines "Mama, doowwwnnnn" until I come over and take her down. She's too afraid to get down once she's up. She definitely knows how to work her cuteness already!

Did I mention that I need a vacation (without kids)?

Potty Training...take 2

Yeah so you know how I said that the potty training was going great and he seemed to be catching on. Well all of that just went down the drain today... actually NO, it went all over my living room floor! He was doing so well then today he just decided that not only was he going to pee all over the floor but he wouldn't even give me the slightest hint that he was about to do it. Usually it would be a "Mama, gotta pee on the potty" and he would have had an accident. Today... noooooo.... he decided that he would just stand there and let it flow. Ugh! I'm not sure if he was just rebelling against me because I wouldn't let him watch the Polar Express (again) or if it was because I yelled at him for killing a frog.




So just wondering if someone wants to borrow Carsen for a while and potty train him for me??!!

Potty Training...

So this seems to be all I talk about lately but I guess it's because it takes up all of my time. Carsen seems to be doing pretty well with the whole potty training thing. He's been wearing undies most of the time except for nap time and bed time and of course there's the whole pooping issue (we don't need to get into that). Most days he does good and tells me when he has to go and then there are some days that he pees all over the floor and I have no idea why. That just frustrates me! I'm looking forward to being able to go somewhere and keeping him in undies with no accidents and for him to tell me EVERY TIME he has to go.

Vacation

So this is a little late... but better late than never, right? Our vacation was great. It was so nice to get out of the house for a week and do whatever we wanted to do. We went to Pennsylvania and mostly did stuff in Philadelphia. We went to Adventure Aquarium, Sesame Place, The Philadelphia Zoo and The Please Touch Museum. The kids loved all of them, especially the Zoo. They are both into animals so they loved to see all the different ones they've never seen before. I of course loved Sesame Place. I love all amusement parks!!!

Our days were filled with things to do and our nights were very long. Since we were in one room we had to try and get to kids to bed. We tried letting them cry, rocking them, letting them stay up till they passed out, car rides, EVERYTHING. They just didn't want to go to bed. I think it was a combo of all the things listed above that got them to sleep and by that point Matt and I were exhausted too. We didn't want vacation to end but we were happy to get home too. The 7 hour car ride home was very long since Hannah screamed for the last 2 hours of the ride. Fun, huh?? We finished our vacation off with a trip to The Flume. Carsen walked the whole way and loved seeing all the water and we let Hannah walk part of the way which she loves so she can try and run away from us!
