Changes

July 10th-----Today is my Moms birthday! Kurt and I called her three way to wish her a happy birthday. But besides the fact that today is my moms birthday, today has also been a day of noticeable changes in my kids. Emmitt, for example, went poo poo in the potty for the first time today on his own! Very Exciting because I now can see the light at the end of the tunnel! He felt on his own that he needed to go and that was quite an accomplishment for him! Potty Training is so frustrating and I now feel like maybe we won't be doing this till he's 5...lol! It was pretty funny though because he was incredibly confused. Most of the time he has gone poo poo in his pants and he gets in trouble for it, so I think he associated getting in trouble with pooping in general. He was completely freaking out like he thought he was going to get a spank or something. It was kinda sad but funny also....:(
I had him call Kurt to tell him and he was crying on the phone after a while he finally got it. Poor guy!
Alaina has become such a big little girl! It's funny when you have your first child you notice every little change right away, but with her since she's the second it's harder to tell cause I am so distracted by emmitt too. We were playing on the floor the other day while emmitt was sleeping and it struck me how smart she is. I just always think of her as such a little baby, but she's not that little I mean she'll be one in a month! She was giggling so cute and playing peek a boo around a corner in our home. Then today I realized what a little diva she can be....lol! We were in the car running errands and she started getting mad so I pulled aside to make her a bottle, well most of the time once she sees that I am making it for her she calms down. This time she calmed down for a little bit then started jibber jabbering in an almost yelling kind of tone. Like "Mommy a little faster...hello!" It was pretty funny! And she likes to throw herself down now to, not that she's walking or anything, but she'll be sitting and she throws herself around and onto the ground and rolls in a huff. Hilarious now but won't be soon! I learned that a while ago.
There were new and exciting changes for me today too! I went to go buy some new jeans cause all of mine haven't been fitting very well, and I was pleasantly surprised! I grabbed a pair of 4's and low and behold they fit so perfectly!! I started doing a little dance in the fitting room! So the hard work does pay off no matter how annoying it is to get to that point! Believe me I hate that hard work! Anyway just thought I'd let everyone know the changes our little family is going through. I wish I could post more pics of Kurt, I feel like they are all of me and the kids but he is a busy man! Love you all!
