February 2009

Mommy took me swimming for family home evening! I had soooo much fun, I love the water. I must have been a fish in a former life, lol.

Mommy worked feverishly on my scrapbook today and got them all up to date with the latest and greatest photos of yours truly, complete with any notes the pictures may have needed. I got to spend the weekend with daddy :).

Mommy has finally decided to undertake the horrific task of potty training me. I give it a week before I break her down and she gives up. Have I ever got some unpleasantness in store for her, (insert evil plot laugh here, lol). I started my first day out with a bang that included peeing all over the kitchen floor, all over a chair, on the carpet, in mommy's lap, and once just for kicks in the potty :). Day two was only slightly better. I peed on the floor, pooped in my big girl panties, and peed in my pull up almost just as soon as I got it on. I did throw my mom a bone though and peed in the potty once.

I went with mommy and grandma to visit aunt Laree's gave. It's her three year anniversary in Heaven. I'll never know her in this life, but mommy says I would have really loved her. She would have been the cool aunt that everyone wishes they had. Mommy says that three years hasn't numbed the pain of losing her even just a little bit and doesn't see an end in sight to how much she misses her and wishes she was here.

Potty training went really well today, I went both on the potty, and didn't have any accidents! Don't get to excited though, this is just the calm before the storm. I'm not going to give it up that easy.

Since I did so well yesterday potty training mommy decided to put panties on me this morning, but soon after I peed in them and on mommy's bed. It's like I said, the calm before the storm. Mommy found out today that her cousin Travis and his wife lost their baby. It's such a heart breaking thing to have happen. It's painful physically, mentally and emotionally. Mommy lost her first baby before me and it was very hard for her.

Grandpa stopped by and brought us a flower, some candy, and a balloon for Valentine's Day! I also got a cute mailbox from Grandma Jolene full of valentines from daddy's family!

I slept in mommy's bed about halfway through the night and when I woke up in the morning I got off her bed. Mommy heard a clunk, clunk, clunk, and wondered what was going on. The next thing she knew I was putting the broom on her bed. I just though the broom could use some snuggle time too :).

Another rough day potty training, I pooped on the floor in my room and peed on one of the end tables. On the other hand I was rather funny though, mommy cheered for me when I go on the potty, so when she went to the bathroom I cheered for her too. I'm just trying to give her the same support and encouragement she gives me.

When grandma was watching me, I pulled a green shirt out of my drawer and said, froggy.

I woke up about 6:00 am crying, so mommy put me in bed with her. It was all part of my plan though, as soon as she did that I started asking for a cookie, saying oh man and oh darn :). I had a lot on my mind and I had to get it off my chest.

We went to Boise to watch uncle Clancy fly, but it was too windy. He kited around though I was the best cheerleader there. I kept saying, "Go Clancy, fly!" I also had to go potty, but there wasn't a bathroom. No worries though, there was an empty nut can in grandpa's vehicle that worked just dandy. We are now three days without an accident potty training; I've been wearing panties and everything. Stay tuned though, this is far from over.

I hurt my knee, but I knew what to do, and kissed it better. Mommy had some paint on her hand and I said, "uh oh", and then licked my finger and rubbed it on the paint spot to try and get it off for her, it would come off though. Oh well, you can't say I didn't try.

Mommy met daddy half way and dropped my off with him to spend the weekend :).
