Choo-Choo... The Potty Train is Leaving the Station!!!

This post is dedicated to our "PEACH"... you know... the one that's fuzzy, cute, and looks harmless on the outside, but that is prickly and full of tantrumous rage on the inside?? Yep, that's Ella! As Damian would say it:
"Ella is exhibiting a lot of TERDaciousness!"
(I guess it's also about the fact that we have now joined our children in making up words... like tantrumous and terdaciousness... ;))
We're sooo proud to say that she is not only on the potty train, but has left the station, and with the exception of a couple of small accidents, she has stayed dry in her big girl underwear for a week now!!! Even through the night!!! Hooray!!!!!! Way to go Ella!!!!!!!!!
(And now she is totally obsessed with going to the potty... she does it WAAAYYYY too much. I'm going to go broke just by keeping her in supply of toilet paper!)
In other Ella news, she has really taken to Braeden's new lightsaber and his Nerf gun protective eye wear. She sings like she knows the Star Wars theme song, and waves it around and makes it stab the ground like she's seen them do on the Wii. Lovely... just lovely!!!



Ella is here to test my patience, I'm pretty sure, but even I have to admit that she fills most of my days with some serious laughter and appreciation for the imagination of children! Just like the other two! They have given me more than I can even express through words... only what is bursting out of my heart. I love all 3 so very much and though I have struggles and hard days, they just make my world go round! They are my best source of entertainment, if nothing else!! Ha!! J/K

Is it just me, or is that protective eye wear upside down?

About Me

Crazy, stay-at-home mother of three; Alexa, Braeden, and Ella, and wife of Damian! We love life, although sometimes it's just hard to make it through one simple day. We all love each other... more than we can usually show or tell, and we love our friends and family very much! We LOVE the beach, having company, eating out (a rare treat now with three kids 8 and under), swimming, and playing outside!
