It seems like just yesterday...

That was then....
This is now....
It was Michaela's first day of playschool today and she just LOVED it. The teachers said she was really good and I was pleased with that as I was worried about the whole transition thing. They played with playdoh and painted and there was lots of new toys there for her to play with. She especially LOVED the indoor sandbox. I being scatter brained this morning forgot to take my camera with me to mark this occasion, but I was saved by another mom who took a couple pics of Michaela foor me and I will get them next week. I can't wait to see the changes in Michaela as we embark on this new adventure.
Logan and I spent time together and we loved that one on one time that we got. I think it'll be good for him to have some Mommy time with me. He becomes a totally different person. I think this time with just the 2 of us will be a special time for us.

Potty Training

My daughter and I have been working on potty training for quite awhile now, and most days she knows what she is supposed to do. She LOVES the fact that she's a "big girl". Then there are the days when I want to throw in the towel and I wonder, is it really worth it? Those are the days that I seem to be more frustrated than usual and she picks up on that. It stems from being tired from the lack of sleep that I am getting at night and I seem to make her the vessel for my frustration. These are the days that I need to tell myself that this is her battle and she's not wetting her pants to make ME mad, she's just having a bad day. Now that is easier said then done, but the more I remind myself of that fact the easier it will be for both of us to conquer the big ol' potty.
Michaela has now encouraged Logan to use the potty . After she uses it, she gets Logan and wants him to sit on the potty. So now at 16 months Logan is now in the process of being potty trained. I think that with the encouragement of his older sister, Logan's transition from being a diaper wearing toddler to being a "big boy" will be a lot smoother. Anyways...Here's hoping.
