No Accidents

Olivia successfully made it the entire day with only one pair of underwear! No accidents, woohoo! I was shocked when I walked into daycare and found her in the skirt that she was dropped off in. This is a good sign since daycare is closed next week and we will have Olivia all by ourselves..... say a prayer for us. Haha!

Potty training is definitely not fun.

When I told the daycare staff today that Olivia still fights me, especially when it is time to wash her hands, they were a little shocked. She cooperates so much better for everyone else! I stood there and watched daycare do the routine. I tried to mimic it at home with not much luck. I switched it up a little bit to better fit by style, and it did not really do anything. Next week we should be moving to taking her to the potty every hour and a half instead of every hour.

We had a busy weekend and there was quite a but of time that Olivia spent in a pull-up and I just let her go in it. She did a pretty good job transitioning back to using the potty. She still gets excited when she goes on he potty and celebrates.

Here is Olivia at a splash pad after church on Sunday. We did not plan to go to the water, so all we had was her pull-up.

Say a prayer for us as we continue on this journey. We still have several weeks to go in this potty training program.

I have to share a bit of the scary side of having a child. I can tell story after story of the things that my siblings and I did when we were younger and all of the trips to the ER. Well, Olivia has been to the ER a couple of times in her short life and we went on Monday night. We had dinner and I wanted to relax for a few minutes before giving her a bath and putting her to bed. She decided that she wanted to play with my jewelry, which she often does. Before I knew it, she was screaming, rubbing her nose, and sneezing. PANIC!! I just remember dropping her at the front door, running to grab my purse, phone, and diapers. I did not know how long we were going to be there, but I did not want her to have an accident on top of everything else. We rushed to the ER. The staff was kind. Not the fastest though... After some drugs to calm her down, and an additional person to help me hold her down, they were able to get the item out of her nose. No more jewelry!

Whispering sweet nothings into mommy's ear <3

 This is Olivia after the drugs.

She has started to randomly come up and whisper in my ear. It tickles my side! I laugh every time :-D Watching her personality blossom has been such a joy. She has started to do this thing when she gets really excited. She will squeal and say whatever it is that she is excited about and then she sticks out her tongue and pants. Haha! I don't know where it comes from, but it is adorable and hilarious. I cannot wait to see what comes next from her.
