I'm sick of you!!

Sarah is about to mess up my wonderful babysitting arrangements... lol

My mother quit her job to stay home with Sarah - so we didn't have to put her in a daycare. I pay my mother for doing this - but she still took a HUGE paycut...

This afternoon, Sarah was sitting in the living room w/ mom and dad, watching tv while mom read a magazine or a book, and out of the clear blue sky, completely unprovoked, Sarah looks at my mom and clearly says "I'm sick of you, and I'm sick of Papaw too"

My dad's repsonse?? he looked at her and says "now tell us how you really feel" lol...

I dont' know what she was thinking, but she make sure to tell everyone exactly how she felt right then lol...

The "Amazing Potty"

We went to the Plano balloon festival over the weekend, and since we're potty training, I was met with the task of taking Sarah to the restroom for the first time in a port-a-potty... I was SO dreading it... We both got in there and i made her hold her hands out in front of her, while telling her AT LEAST 20 times "DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING!!!" while I proceeded to put toilet paper down on the seat for her. I kept watching her out of the corner of my eye and she was looking around in amazement when she looks up at the ceiling and says 'WOW - What an amazing potty!"
I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder lol....

POTTY TRAINING

I love doing the potty training thing again - I think potty training is the worst part of a mother's job (other than cleaning up throw up in the middle of the night) but teaching a little one to use the restroom by themselves is so rewarding... and funny...
I guess that's what I forgot about the other 2 - but it's been a looooong time....

Mom has been taking Sarah to the potty about every 30 min whether she needs to go or not. The other day by 10:00 - Sarah was just tired of it - so she told Nanny - I'm tired of this game...
She's doing better though. This week has really been a turning point for her - she told me, I'm not a baby anymore Mommy, I'm a big girl, and I go to the toilet all by myself, cause I'm big...
This morning I was playing with her toes while she sat doing her business and I was doing the little piggies with her.... after I did both feet, she decided to do it too - "This little piggy went to Wal-mart..." I have no idea what she said after that I was laughing too hard. She's just a doll...
