My FIRST ever blog post

I really can't believe I am doing this..... writing is not something that I am interested in, however, keeping track of my memories is! I want to have a way to share all my daily highlights with my family (or anyone else who might care to hear). My children are ALWAYS giving me amazing memories, every day, and I don't want them to get lost in my sea of chaos (my brain). Already, Andrew is 7 and I know that I have forgotten stories because I didn't write them down. So, that is what I will use this blog for, to record my life that I want to remember forever!!!!! So, here we go!  


SO I suppose I should start with a picture, since pictures is how I capture life:) Many of you have probably already heard me brag about my day 1 week ago with Camryn. I decided that since she is almost 2 years old, it is time I pull out the good old potty chair... it needs to become a familiar sight to her since she will be needing it very soon! So, in order to familiarize her with it, I asked her if she would like to try it out! Of course she was excited, took off her pants and promptly sat right down! But then what happened next still makes me laugh... she peed! Seriously, her first time sitting on a potty chair and she pees! Now I know that she just raised my hopes WAY too high; more to come!

My disclaimer on this pic... yes, we just had lunch, and no I didn't wipe her face after eating:) Sorry Cam, you are not always the cleanest child!

But, then I have more. 2 days ago, I decided to let Camryn run around naked. She was jumping on and off the potty chair (which I have to say her butt falls right through because she has NO butt!), and running from her room to the bathroom and back. Then she comes over to me (I was putting laundry away) and says "Mommy! Poop!" So I am so excited, run into the bathroom and find NO poop in the potty chair. So, I look at her and she takes my hand and walks me into her room. Pointing to the floor in her bedroom she says "Poop!" Really Cam, you get my hopes up 1 week ago, and I think I am going to have the best potty-training experience with you, and now you show me this! A nice big log on your white carpet! Great way to bring me down from cloud nine:)
