Francais and Croissants

2/28/2015

0 Comments

 
This month was my volunteer parent month for Luna's class.  They are studying France, so I decided to have them make croissants (crescent rolls) and fill them with chocolate, and then read a few kids books on Paris.  It's my favorite place and I think I lived there in a former life!

Todd was able to meet me there on his lunch break to help, and I am so glad he could. I remember my dad volunteering at my school (Mother's Co-Op) and have great memories of it!  Luna's class loved making the croissants and the best part was eating them!

Potty Training

2/20/2015

Belle has been ready for potty training probably way before the holidays. I just didn't have a 3 day weekend free to commit to it, and frankly diapers are way, way easier! You aren't having to cut your Target shopping experience short to run to the bathroom, where I sanitize the heck out of the seat, put down seat protectors and make sure my child does not touch a thing.  So yes, diapers are much easier.  

I was worried she would still need a pull up at night, since she waking up wet each time, so another reason I put it off.  But she was so wanting to try what her big sister does, that she was literally potty training herself. I mean taking off her diaper and climbing up on the potty. So Todd took Luna to a camping trip with the Y and I had her all to myself.  I was stressing though because last time with Luna, we both were about to lose it by day 3.  Just the intensity of having to watch your child like a hawk for 3 days, accidents, and not leaving the house can cause the calmest to go stir crazy!  (ha, I told Todd he owed me big time for doing solo!)

We started on a Friday and it went pretty well. She had already picked out her panties and loved wearing them. It is just so darn cute to see her in panties!!  She had an accident in the middle of the night Friday, but by Saturday did great and only had about 1.  Then again had one at night, then maybe one on Sunday and slept through the night Sunday night!  This 3 day method really does something to their brains and makes them wake up to go or something. I am so glad we didn't have to do pull ups with either child!!  Must less to have to break later down the road.  And now she refuses any child potty, and wants to use the real one.  But I still have the port a potty in my trunk in case she can't make it, and yes, we have used it a few times already.

Happy Valentine's Day!  My area PTA had a Daddy/Daughter Valentine's dance and this year he took both Luna and Belle.  They had a blast and I wish I could have been a fly on the wall to see it ;)
Then the girls had Valentine parties at their schools.  We made heart Valentine crayons for their friends.  They really enjoyed making them and getting Valentine treats at school!
