Sitting around the toilet

Day 1 of potty training went pretty well. I definitely won't be doing any "summer cleaning", though!

She got special princess panties, and made it to the potty 7 times. There were plenty of misses, but hey--7 stickers are on her chart on Day 1! (She was drinking a TON!)

Had our favorite snack: graham crackers with whipped cream.

She got to dress up as Cinderella.

We made fruit pizza, and I'm proud to say I've now passed on the tradition of "spoon cleaner-upper" to her.

Day 2 was hard because I was working at the playland in the gym for 3 hours...with lots of other kids running around. Once we got home, she got back into being excited about it. I'm going to have to
a) quit the job or
b)go insane. I think quitting will happen as soon as I can get the nerves. I'm just so bad at saying no to things. I feel guilty about it, but I've got too much going on and I don't work out now because I don't have the time. Ironic?

Anyway, I am alive but have been stuck inside way too much already. Maybe we'll go swimming so if she accidentally pees, no one will know. Isn't that why they put all that chlorine in the water?!

Less Sugar Update

We've been trying to take these out before dinner when everyone's getting hungry...a healthy, light snack.

See those bananas? They'll be ready for banana bread soon...(smirk)

Chocolate covered pretzels for the sisters I visit teach. Salt and chocolate together: heaven.

We didn't quite go all week with fruit as our only dessert, but we've definitely been eating better. That's the overall goal, right? And it's seemed to help Aubrey. She's been opening up her tastebuds and eating her veggies. It's inspiring us to keep it up.
