Our Kids

Landis is actually peddling and riding her tricycle! One day this week she just started peddling and went around the whole driveway. She still is not quite sure she is doing it and needs a little encouragement on the uphill but she is loving her newest form of mobility and big girlness. She can also ride her plasma car all the way around our block. She loves that car and those are the best purchases we have made for outdoor toys they never seem to get old. I remember at this age the girls had a hard time walking around the block much less riding something.

On the potty training note I think I can say she is definitely not ready. I have been taking her diaper off during the day and seeing what she will do. She will pee and poo herself is the answer, the best part is the look she gives me like hey lady what the heck is going on, why is this happening to me???? She knows what the potty is, what goes in it, where she is supposed to be putting her pee and poo and she even wants quiet alone time when she needs to go. But the connectors are not all there as to what happens if I don’t have a diaper on and she will sit on the potty but not go. This morning she was diaper free and pretty much told me she had to poo so off she went for some quiet time and about halfway through her poo I remembered she was diaper free, oops. It was quite a pooptastrophe and she was pretty upset about the poo on her leg, lol. We got her all cleaned up and her stuff in the wash PDQ and she seemed to be okay with it all. The last thing I want is to make her have bad feelings about pooing/peeing so we will just wait another couple months on that, no more diaper free days for now.
