A WAHM's Life Story

Wow, how the time flies!

I have been wanting to find the time to sit and relate
my days, but when you turn around, your eyes are shut!!

My days have become a blur since becoming a
WAHM!


The kids are non-stop, a two year old and an 8 month old
never stop!

I am still going nowhere with the potty training!

Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated!

My daughter just doesn't want to have anything to do with the
potty.

My little boy is just crawling all over the place, pulling up
on everything. Going up our stairs....

Very different from my daughter, she was a very content baby, she
was fine to just sit on the floor and play. She didn't really crawl
at all, but she started walking by 9 1/2 mos.

Another thing, I have to keep up with, my son is infatuated with
cords and plugs. :-(

The computer area is definitely on his agenda every day! My
daughter didn't care about cords either.

I don't know if it is the difference between boys and girls, or
just two different kids, but they couldn't be more different!

Very neat to watch as a mom!

I have to say, lately my daughter has begun to say her ABC's (with
help, of course) but it is the cutest thing to hear a 2 year old say
the ABC's.

She loves for me to read to her, lately that is all she wants, for
us to sit on the floor or on the couch or in the recliner and just read.

She has started saying "mama" and patting the floor, the couch or the
chair where she wants me to sit so we can read. It is very endearing,
it warms my heart.

It is these moments that make me very glad that I can be home to nurture
my kids.

On the other hand, I am also here to witness the terror of a two year old!

More on that in the days to come.....

I promise to be back very soon!! :-)

    The way I potty trained my son worked great and in two days, no kidding. It was an idea from his daycare. You go out on a special trip, buy great looking underwear, get all excited and just put them on, start wearing them all the time, no more diapers. When she has an accident let her know that her underwear will now have to be thrown away. Of course she won't want to because they are Cindarella (or whichever she really likes) Of course you don't really throw them away, that would cost too much :-) but she thinks you do.
    Honestly, it sounded very cruel when I heard about it, but he went diaper free (except for nights) in two days! Good luck!

    Thanks Susan, that is something I may consider. I just don't know if I have the stomach for it. The clean up, I mean... :-) She won't always let me know if she needs to go, I really don't know if she is ready to train or not. Thanks for the idea!!
