Potty Progress

 

We've expeirenced day two, in a row, of being dry at school.  Yeah!!!!!

For every one who hasn't heard we spent a pretty bad week at school and big C and I seriously considered changing little C's daycare, there was so much tension between little C and her teacher  Little C's potty learning took a nose dive at school, which we attributed to the attitude the teacher was having.  1.5 weeks into little C's training at school and the teacher was claiming that little C peep on the floor on purpose and was sending home angry notes regarding little C's attitude and potty issues - things not developmentally appropriate.    Thank fully a meeting with the director and the teacher has brought around change for the good so far.

Last weeks disaster seems to be behind us and everyone attitude seems much improved at school.

It is nice to see and hear happy reports from little C's teacher and we are glad to see the progress.

We took our camping weekend as a break, little C was both in underwear and diapers equally as she choose.  We end up with a 4 day weekend, Friday was spent home getting ready to camp and in my case sleeping after a very sleepless night.  The break seems to be exactly what little C needed.

Labor Day Camping

We had perfect weather for camping - ok so it was a little chilly at night (40 degrees one night).  But the days got warm enough for swimming.

We camped at a lean-to site this time and that worked out well, it provided a great place for little C to play.  It even served as a stage for her to sing twinkle twinkle little star for us.  It was so very cute.

We rented a boat saturday and a canoe sunday, little C loved both, and while in the boats we had to sing Row Row Daddy's boat (or Mommy's...)

Little C even got to help paddle the canoe and she got to sit up in the front seat all by herself while daddy paddled her in.

We brought our bikes with us, all of ours along with little C's bike trailer and we took a few bike rides around the campground and little C and I "rode" our bikes together.  She got really quick after that even though I was going as slow as I could.  She also learned to lift her legs up while she's coasting - Lots of progress.

FRiday night after we got set up, we wandered down to the boat launch and found to ducks swimming around.  Little C decided to go swimming and was soon bossing the ducks around - they ignored her except for the times they thought she had food.

This was a great way to close out our camping season and we are looking forward to next year and having at least 4 trips. 

Photos from the trip including to little campsite visitors :)  They were much cuter than the visitor we had last time (a skunk).

The things they say...

Tonight little C was very cute, we were treated to her singing that she loves us :)  Very heart warming.

After dinner I asked big C if he could take something up to the bathroom with him and little C since they were on their way to brush teeth and do bath.  I was turned down, little C was requesting to hop up the stairs, which requires her to hold our hands.  So sarcastically I asked big C "what no pockets?!"

Little C came to me in the kitchen so she could help take the item up (so cute). She carried it over to the stairs and big C and asked "Daddy no have pockets?" upon checking she says "yes daddy have pockets!" and she shoved the item in so he could carry it up.  Her tone was perfect and had both big C and I in stitches.

Last weekend, we all went camping and took little C out in a boat for the first time (a row boat and a canoe).  Little C commented that the water was big and full.  Cute perspective.
