Toilet Trouble

Ok....so all you experienced moms out there....help!! We started REALLY potty training on Saturday...and after three times successfully in her potty and three accidents in her underwear....we thought it was a pretty productive day. But....that was the last time she went in the potty!! I tried the sticker reinforcement, jelly bean treats and potty prizes.....but nothing is sticking!! She has told me that she will go when she gets "bigger bigger" and just keeps nodding her head and saying "yes" as I try to talk to her (totally not listening). So....just curious as to what tricks have worked with all of you.....after several days of unsuccessful pull ups we are back to diapers right now....I totally think she is ready but just not clicking. However, she does love to sit on it a lot and read her books! AHHH. Not really thinking I am going to enjoy this phase. When do the potty training fairies come to help?

A Mother's Moment...

This morning, I totally had one of those mother's moments. I saw this sweet "little" baby sleeping so peacefully and realized that Emma isn't so little anymore....next week she will be ONE!! Amazing how much they change in one short year...the words she is saying, how she's walking, the things she can do.....and yet I just wanted to lay down beside her and cuddle her in close and enjoy the sweet sleeping moment that I know soon will pass....way too soon!!
