I can't believe I am posting twice in one day, but the occasion calls for it. Today I have declared toddler war against my daughter (Anna - pictured here). Yes - she seems innocent enough, but she's a tricky little thing. Potty training has been an issue with our girls for several months now. Finally, Ashlyn has gotten the hang of things, but Anna is being the stubborn little girl that she is and has been holding out. In fact, I have to be partially impressed with her dedication to "pee-peeing" abstinance. At least she is committed. Today I stepped over the line in the sand. I told Anna, "No more diapers!" Now she is not too thrilled with my decision, but I think she is realizing that I am not budging on this one. Anna is perfectly aware of exactly what she needs to do to go to the bathroom. There are even times when she will remind Ashlyn to "flush potty" or "wash hands" when Ash happens to forget (are you kidding me). This girl has been playing us like a harp and I'm over it!
Be sure to check back in a couple of days to see if Anna has caved to the pressure or if she has put me in a mental home. Either result should be interesting reading.

I wish you nothing but the best. This is one of those stages where you think it's lasting forever and then one day, *poof* everything falls into place. I had to complete the hard part of potty training with Trey (can you say withholding?) while Bill was deployed and guess what? Leah's ready to start just as Bill's getting ready to leave again. Lucky me!!! Pump her full of liquids and set her free in the yard. Haha
Where the hell did Matt go?
Yes, that was the first thing that I wondered, too! Where is Matt?
