Happy Day

We had a good day.  Laura only took an hour and a half nap, but she was in a fairly decent mood.  I made the mistake of telling her before nap that we’d be going to coffee after nap.  That set her up for excitement.  She started off with “I want coffee!” over and over […]

Weekend Recap

We had a pretty good weekend around here.  On Saturday Robert made waffles for breakfast.  After breakfast was cleaned up I went shopping, without kids or a husband!  I saw that Kohls was having a sale on just about everything.  I got about half of her Christmas shopping done.  I also picked up a few […]

Better Days Ahead

The last couple days have gone much better.  Laura has gone 2 days in a row without having a timeout.  :)  I tried to do a little more potty training with her this morning.  We sat in the bathroom for at least half an hour.  She would not go.  I put a diaper on her […]

Discipline…

I have been considering for a while now how to handle discipline with Laura.  Most of the time when she is misbehaving/throwing fits it is because she is tried or wanting attention (jealousy).  I understand where she is coming from.  I know that when she isn’t tired that she wouldn’t do these things.  It is […]
