Badream!

Bostyn had her first bad dream the other day. She woke up from her nap screaming (which is very rare). I went in to her room to find her hair soaking wet and her saying "I hold you mommy, itsa spider...is gets me!!" I told her it was just a bad dream and to think of the things that make her happy and she calmed down quick, but she still needed to talk to gramma and tell her all about it to feel better. Needless to say she was still talking about her "badream" when daddy got home 5 hours later! I guess it was pretty traumatic! She's been sleeping fine since tho...phew!

Ugghhh...potty training!!!

Ok, so potty training is NO FUN! She was doing so great for a while and now we are on a downhill slide and have been for quite some time. She's over big girl panties preferring to be naked, which means I find myself constantly following her around making sure she's not peeing in her tent or behind the chair! I'm not sure where she got her oversized bladder (not from me or Donald) but she can hold her pee from the time she wakes up until I put a diaper on her for a nap....unless I'm missing something??? Stickers are not nearly as enticing as they once were and today she walked around with a tiny turd hanging from her butt for a little too long (it took me a while to notice it and she was in no hurry to tell me about it). hhhhhuuuuhhhh...hopefully it won't be long before it all clicks but wow....this is exhausting! Kudos to everyone who has potty trained a kid because I'm on the verge of giving up...which would actually probably make Donald happy because then she'll never have a boyfriend!!!

Grandma's visit!

Gramma Gina came to visit and Bostyn had a blast! Although her plane was delayed coming in, she finally arrived safe and sound. We got a quick dinner and brought her back to our house so Bostyn could get her settled. The weather was pretty cold, so we spent most of the days around the house playing hide and go seek, numbers and with Bubbles that gramma got her on one of her multiple trips to wal-mart (actually she did very will this time only going 2-3 times i think!). We had a "Bostyn Tea Party" on Saturday and invited friends and family over for live entertainment (Bostyn showing off her dance moves and ball skills). Of course we couldn't end the month without a trip to the Doctor, so on Monday (the day Gina was leaving) Bostyn ended up with a dog hair in her eye that made it swell almost shut. We took her to the doc to get it flushed and make sure it didn't leave a scratch and got gramma to the airport just in time for her flight! All in all it was a great extended weekend and we all had so much fun (we always do when Gina comes to visit...Thanks Gina!) !!
