So, of course, we had to go out and play in it before it melted! I didn't really want to, but I can't deprive my children of fun in the snow even though I don't like snow. I have to give them the chance to learn how horrible snow really is!!
Well the kids just loved the snow. Hayden walked all over and fell down trying to walk on the rocks, and Kylie just immediately started eating it.
We only lasted about thirty minutes (thank goodness!), and when we got inside everyone was soaked! But at least we got some fun in the snow!
Since we were stuck inside for a few days with the chilly weather, I decided to bite the bullet and make Kylie potty train. She has been going off and on for the past month, and last week the bribery of potty treats got her going on almost a daily basis, but only when she wanted a treat. So on Monday I just refused to put a diaper on her and suffered through 15 minutes of hysteria before she consented to put undies on. Since then we have had almost no problems!! We are at the point where she is going with no reminders and is choosing undies over diapers when we go places. Going out of the house still freaks me out, and we haven't even started trying to do it at night yet.
One evening she went potty and was so excited to show Brandon, because "Daddy hasn't seen it yet", so she brought her potty bowl out to show Brandon and she was swishing it weird so I started freaking out and then when Brandon saw what she was doing he started freaking out which freaked out Kylie because all she wanted to do was show Daddy and she ended up spilling it. All over Hayden. Yup.
Another incident, which I think will scar her for a while, was on Friday at Walmart while we were grocery shopping. She wanted to wear her undies and then half way through she needed to go, so we go and I have her sitting on the toilet, excited that she was actually going to go on a big potty! Then she wanted her privacy so she turned me out of the stall and got up to lock the door, and then the automatic flusher goes off!! It scared her to DEATH and we ended up having to put on the emergency diaper I brought because she would have nothing to do with big potties after that. Soooo... I don't know when we are going to take the next step of big potties, but I am just so happy that she is going at home in her little potty!!
On Friday we went over to Sophia's to play (and we brought our potty and Kylie went over there!! Small victory!!), and then we ended up packing all the kids into the car and helping Angela run some errands. It was the first time we had all three carseats in the back seat and it was very squishy.
You can see that Sophia had set up a wall to keep Hayden away from her, and Kylie liked feeding Hayden snacks. Hayden just loved having them so close to play with.
Saturday was a fun family day. We had a free day pass to the rec center, so we all went swimming! Hayden sported Kylie's hot pink floatie while Kylie used one of the rec centers. Hayden loved the freedom of walking around and would randomly flop down and kick his limbs and try to swim. It was so cute!! Kylie is getting so big and it is about time we got her into some swim lessons! She loved the slides though, like usual!
Now that February is over Hayden is officially 15 months old!! Getting closer to being in nursery! Yay!!
