Hey there! I’m still here, I’ve just been super busy. Between work and home and MOPS and potty training (don’t even go there), time to blog has been zero.
Have a great weekend and I’ll be back with you soon!P.S. And no, I haven’t been eating those football donuts!

Three things this Monday
Three things to talk about today -
1. I lost 2 pounds this week!
2. The potty training is not going well. Buzz Lightyear undies did not motivate Brady to pee in the potty! Pray for us!
3. Loved this!

Oh wait, #4. Pray for the people of Texas and Louisana. So much tragedy there the past few weeks.

Adventures in Potty Training
I’ll be the first to tell you, Brady’s been a relatively easy child. In the great scheme of things, he’s been a breeze. No problems sleeping, no problems when he started eating baby food or real food, took to a milk at age 1 without a fuss, no sippy cup issues. Even his binky wasn’t a big deal. He stopped using it during the day when he was 1 and quit using it at naps/bedtime at age 3 (and that was really because I let him use it that long). He’s been in day care since he was 4 months old (I can hear the gasps now) and other than your normal separation anxiety, he’s always adjusted well to new people and new situations. But potty training – this is a whole new ballgame.
Maybe it’s my fault. I didn’t even start until his 3rd birthday. He just wasn’t interested and I didn’t want it to drag out over a year because he wasn’t ready. Well, I’m ready and he’s been showing signs of readiness, so we’re hitting the potty training hard. At least we’re trying. He has yet to pee in the potty once! I know he can pee. Why can’t he do it in the potty? His teacher at school reassures me this is normal and some kids just take their time.
Last night we (well, he) sat on the potty for 20 minutes. He was reading books and quite content. No peeing. So I put underwear on him for the first time and sent him into the living room. I walked back to our bedroom (it’s not a big house, so it wasn’t that far) and I hear “Mommy, I’m wet!” WHY COULDN’T HE HAVE DONE THAT DURING THE 20 MINUTES HE WAS SITTING ON THE POTTY????? No, I didn’t yell at him, don’t worry. But I did quickly move him to the bathroom and explain that we do that in the potty.
I know he won’t go to high school or college in diapers, but my goodness, this is frustrating! Please send me some “happy potty thoughts!”
Have a great weekend!

Verse of the Day
Someone shared this verse with me last night and even though I've read it a million times, I love hearing it again. I thought I'd share it with you today!
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-8
As women, it seems like we're hardwired to worry. I know I am! But this verse tells us not to worry, to turn all of our worries over to God and He will give us the peace we need to make it through the day!
Happy Wednesday!
