Camping

Our camping trip went really good! The drive up was beautiful, just like my dad said it would be. Seriously, I don't know how we have never gone up there when it's only 3 hours away. We left later than we planned, so we got there in the afternoon instead of late morning. The weather was so nice when we got there. I was SO HAPPY to be our of the HEAT!!! My dad took us for a ride to show us around where is property is and the lake. Once he saw the lake,Richard could not wait to go fishing the next day. He was so excited! The lake was beautiful! Shoot, everything up there was beautiful!

The second day we were there we went fishing, and got rained on. The rain was so crazy! But once it stopped, it was still so nice outside. I felt like we were in a whole different world up there. It was a great weekend. The third day, Richard actually caught some fish. While it was raining, of course. Aubry & I went back to the trailer and he toughed it out, and I went back and got him later. He caught 2 fish, and I think Aubry was more excited about it than he was. haha! 

I am very happy to say that Aubry did GREAT with her potty training while we were there! I was so worried it would get messed up, but we brought her little potty, and we took it outside during the day while she was playing, and even took it to the lake! haha. Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do! :) I think she liked camping, and I know she had a blast with her grandpa. We can't wait to go back!

Day 3

First of all, Happy 4th of July to everyone! I love the 4th of July, but it seems like Richard has to work every year, so it's kind of been a bummer the last few. He is working days today, and we will watch the fire works after dinner. Much better than it being night shift!

   Today is day 3 of Aubry being in panties and I am SO excited! She has done so well! She has had a couple of accidents. Yesterday she had 1, and today she hasn't had any. Except poop...she hasn't mastered getting to the potty for that yet..but I know that is harder to get them to do, so I am okay with it. Her wearing panties for the entire day & me not cleaning up pee off the floor over & over is a HUGE step up, so I won't complain!! Friday morning we are heading up to New Mexico to my dad's property for a couple of days. It will be the first time we have gone, and Aubry's first camping trip. He has a trailer, so it's not roughing it camping, but it's still camping. I hope she does good. I'm mostly worried about her remembering to use the potty while we are there. It will be almost a week of panties when we go, so she should be good. We will bring her travel potty seat, and her little potty. I'm hoping she will just use the travel seat, but I'm bringing the little potty just in case. It seems so crazy to me that I was going nuts trying to get her to potty train, and then she just did it on her own. I shouldn't jinx myself with it, but she has never done this good, so I am hoping this is it! It's good timing too, because we aren't going to be crazy busy these days off, and she started it while Richard was still working, so we weren't going any where. So, here's to hoping it lasts! I will post again after our little camping trip, with lots of pictures, and updates on how Aubry did with going potty! :)

They will do it when they're ready

Yesterday Aubry when in the bathroom & put her baby doll on her little potty, telling me the baby was going pee. She's done this a few times, and when I try to get HER to potty, she tells me no and runs off. So, being a little frustrated with the "baby doll going potty situation", I walked away and went to start the dish washer. When I came back, Aubry was naked, standing up. She hurried to sit back down, and told me "I peed!". I didn't really think she peed, but she she stood up again I saw it. Of course, I made a huge deal out of it, but not on purpose this time...I was just SO EXCITED! For the rest of the day, she would just go in there & go on her own. I don't think she likes an audience when she's in there, which is okay with me if it means she will actually go. I only changed 2 pull ups yesterday, one when she got up in the morning, and one when she got up from her nap. I guess I should have listened to all those parents who told me kids will use the potty when they're ready. HOPEFULLY she keeps this up. Today she is in panties so far. She had one small accident about 20-30 minutes after she got up, but she only tinkled a little in her panties, stopped herself, and ran to the bathroom to finish. Which is way better than any other time she's had panties on. She usually just lets it all out if she's having an accident. She stopped herself this time. I am really, really hoping she keeps it up for the whole week! I would be SO happy!! Obviously I am ready for her to be done with diapers! I just hope she is ready, too! I will keep everyone posted!
