Clearly I do better when there is nothing to talk about. Give me a crazy month and I am immediately overwhelmed. So. I will give you a gist of my last few weeks but don't expect oodles of details. I am more of a Seinfeld kinda blogger....happy to write about nothing.
Shopping trip. Utter fun. I actually bought stuff for moi, ate/RELAXED in a restaurant without the virtual "Katie time bomb" ticking, sat in the car for hours on end without Dora in the background yelling..."Do YOU see the bridge? Where?", wore a bathing suit *gasp* and had a nice loooong hot tub....Ya, so lets just say it was a perfect "momma needs a break" kind of a trip.
Birthday. Katie is now TWO. TWO! So strange to say that because I've been using months for so long, thus "two" seems kinda plain to me now.
Her party was all about Dora. Dora cake. Dora balloons. Dora wrapping paper. Dora everything. She got a rock'n motorized car from her Grandma and Grandpa, loads of clothes, a few toys and the DVD, Nemo (which we have managed to watch no less than a thousand time already. "mine?"). She is officially The Most Spoiled Kid in Canada.
Kips dad and step mom came up from the States for the big occasion. So sweet of them! It gave Katie a chance to show off for some new faces and if it's one thing that Katie loves...its an audience!
We had a failed attempt at the whole Potty Training thing. I did the hoopla about the Dora panties, lured her with M&M's, got the book about about Dora on the potty...blah blah blah. Nothing. She wouldn't even sit on the damn potty for more than 2 seconds & peed 5 times in 1 hour ON MY CARPET. I left her in her dad's care while I went to the gym knowing full well that she'd be in a diaper when I returned. She was. Obviously she just isn't ready. Obviously we aren't ready either.
*note to self. Call carpet cleaners asap*
The Big Girl Bed transition was a much bigger success. Actually, I am surprised it went over as well as it did. All night I waited for the moment when I'd wake up to have her little face staring at me or hear the pitter patter of her destroying my house. Nope nothing. Score one for the parents!
Okay, okay. My kid beckons. Will save other events for future conversation.
Byeeeeeeee!

Only 1 month later, but it is good to catch up, although I already knew most of this.
Glad to hear the bed was a success, she is becoming a BIG Girl NOW!!!!
As for potty training, wait until she is ready, it will be less stressful for both of you.
Good Luck!!!
Okay a random comment and a blog related one.
Blog related first, we just moved Dommie to the big boy bed too and I'm shocked at how well it went. Glad Katie is doing well as well.
Random, the alphabet toy Katie is holding was recalled and reprogrammed here in the U.S. because the original ones were able to "say" bad words on the phonetic setting. Now instead of saying the bad word it stops and says "You're tickling me." It used to say all kinds of fun stuff apparently.
lol...Katie must have the updated version because it won't say bad words...not that we've tried or anything :)
