bliss



Yesterday was a particularly hectic day. And we never even left the house. First off Potty Training Day 2 was not so great. She just kept having accidents. And Mr. Charlie was not a happy camper. No reason; just a constant desire to be held-by Mommy only. And Danny finally went to the doctor yesterday and learned he has an upper respiratory infection. No longer contagious, but on antibiotics. So just as I was about to throw the towel in and scream at the top of my voice, Debi whooshed in and saved the day. A pedicure! So I fed Mr. Charlie and was off.

It was wonderful, as most pedicures are, but this one really hit the spot. And the leg massage was fantastic. (Meanwhile back at the ranch: Eden slept the whole time I was gone and Charlie didn't cry once. Figures)After I returned from my bliss we had our first potty success of the day. And then another and another and another. Suddenly it had clicked and Eden was telling me when she needed to go potty. I am so proud of her. Deep down I knew she could do it, but I really had some doubts yesterday.
As for Potty Training Day 3: She hasn't had one accident yet. And we even went on an outing. She went as soon as we got home. **Smile**

Big sigh. I am still crossing my fingers behind my back though!!

PS Big Huge Thanks to mom-in-law Debi. And she isn't even feeling 100%! She is too wonderful.

edit: my feet look distorted in the pic, but i can't seem to fix it. oh well.

Man, I wish it wasn't frigid temperatures out here so I could justify getting one of those. You guys picked the perfect time of year to move. Can I come visit you I'm going insane here!!! I love your toes though, very cute. Your kids are so cute. I miss Eden so much. Its pretty cool that she is using the big girl potty! Sorry I haven't been the best at keeping in touch. We think about you guys a ton. One day we will have to meet up!

I do not envy you with the potty training, I had to potty train twice while being a nanny. It is not easy! Also, my mom told me she got to see you guys on Friday. She couldn't stop about how darling little Charlie is! I just want to meet the boy!
