So, the real skinny on our potty fun

We are so proud of our little girl and her potty learning experience. It has been a roller coaster lately though, but it has made me a much more relaxed mom. We thought a few weeks ago that we had this thing mastered. She was doing so well and going several days without accidents and even then it would just be an isolated one. But after we got back from North Carolina, it all went south. Now she is having more accidents then successes. As in the post before, she is telling us more when she does need to go and as soon as she goes, she tells us too, but I am finding myself between a rock and a hard place. I know that life has been very hectic for us right now, so we are trying to take it all in stride and not make a big deal out of accidents, but I was so enjoying where we were. It is obvious how stress affects these little ones. I am debating wether or not to bring out some diapers again because I have a whole laundry basket full of wet pants, but I don't want to set her back further by doing so. I think we will just stick it out and be patient and let time tell. But I don't want to creat undo stress for her either. She does so well when it is just the three of us, but as soon as we get around lots of other people, it is up in the air. Oh well, I know that she is young and potty training is a process, but I just thought I would pass on the experience.

18 Months Old

Kaelyn is now 1 and a half!!! Wow!! That went fast. She is such a delight to us and keeps us in stitches all the time and brings us to joyful tears often. She loves making animal noises and spotting animals and pretending to be animals. It is so cute. She is talking in sentances now and tells us that she loves us. She seems to really love Grammy because she says out of the blue, "Grammy, I love you". We have to ask her to say it to us. I know that will change. Grammy loves it.
Today, Kaelyn had her dr's appointment and it went very well. Stats are 27lbs 4oz (75-90%), 32in (50-75%) and her head is in the 90th percentile. The Dr. told us that Kaelyn is functioning developmentally like a 2 and a half year old. While she was sitting there getting examined, she all of a sudden said "pee pee". We had to take a potty break in the middle, but is fabulous that recently she has gotten better at telling us that she needs to go. Dr. A was very patient with us. We sadly had to tell him that this will hopefully be our last visit because of our move.(hopefully meaning that we don't want kaelyn to get sick enough to have to come back in.)
Kaelyn loves listening to music in the car. If she doesn't have her music on, she lets you know, but she is learning to appreciate mom and dad's music too. I think that is all for now.
Don't take my picture mom, just let me outside PEEESSSE!!!!!
It was finally cold enough to get all bundled up in our coat and gloves. She looked cute and enjoyed her gloves.
The other day I found her in my craft/laundry room having found my bag of ribbons. She took a few off of the reels. It was quite a moment of exploration.
