first and foremost… louise peed in the potty!!!! it happened yesterday when i was at work, i am sorry i missed it but proud that she did it. now, if we can just get her to do it every time (yeah right!).
i have been feeling pretty good since i got back from montana, which is awesome, but i think it’s due to the fact that carl has been home most of the time since i got back. i know that it’s not going to last, which is kind of bummer, but i hope the happiness decides to stay. i have a therapy appt, i think on thursday (i should probably look into the day and time!) that i’m not really looking forward to, i know i’m supposed to go but i really hate therapy, i just don’t think it helps (i do think it helps some people, just not me).
my friend katie is coming from chicago for louise’s birthday party, i’m so excited! she’ll be here on the 3rd with her husband and daughter and it think she’ll be here until the 5th, it is going to be so fun!! louise’s part is coming together with lots of guests, it’s going to be a fun day. katie is planning to make louise this cake with a little help from me…
i’m sure she will freak out because for some unknown reason, she’s totally obsessed with spongebob. i don’t know what it is about that damn show, but she asks for it all the time, “bobbob, bobbob!!!” there is no other show that she loves as much as spongebob, it’s so weird!
with louise’s second birthday looming, i’m starting to think that it may be time to bring her to the dentist. we have a doctor’s appt ON louise’s birthday so i guess we’ll see what he says but i am NOT looking forward to it, she is NOT going to like it. when did you take your kids to the dentist? if you haven’t yet, what age to you plan on starting?
p.s. i’m still having problems commenting on blogger.com blogs, it’s something about the captcha codes, i can comment on blogger.com blogs that don’t have them, but every time i try to comment on a blog that has one it says the code is wrong. hopefully the issue will be resolved soon.
I started taking Peter when he turned one. He went again a few months ago and his next appointment is in mid March. We actually just got the reminder card yesterday. I was very anal about choosing the dentist, and she is awesome. I have to sit in the chair and hold Peter on my lap while they do their thing. He HATES it. There is no getting around it, and it sucks. But thems the breaks. It is awesome that Louise peed in the potty, I am not even hoping for anything till September. I don’t think therapy works for everyone, I think you are just vulnerable because you are isolated. I mean, parenting is hard and you do it solo A LOT. And far away from family. My closest family is an hour away and it makes it very hard.
i know you took peter early, you are a good mama.
We haven’t taken Drake yet. When I asked our dentist about it, they said closer to 3 years old. They have to be willing to open their mouth and at least let the dentist count the teeth – not sure Drake would do that yet.
thanks amber, i think i’ll ask her doctor when we go next week.
I know what you mean about therapy. I didn’t always help me, until I found someone I clicked with. But still – it’s not my favourite thing.
glad to hear i’m not the only one
She can’t be almost two already! She’s just so adorable!
I hope the cake turns out great! I wish I could bake like that.
For us, it’s all Elmo (momo) all the time.
I’m so glad things are so good right now. Hopefully the therapy will help keep it on track, even if it doesn’t seem like it helps.
I can’t comment on blogger blogs with the work-check thing, either.
word-check, not work-check
What an adorable cake! And yeah for peeing in the Portu! That is super exciting, hopefully it will be smooth sailing from here.
Happy birthday to Louise!
