Kayla & Mommy (week 1)

Kayla about to PLAY at the park.... in her cool shades!

Kayla eating with her new fork... (if you have a fork SHE HAS to have one also)

So all kinds of interesting stuff has gone on this week. This was Kayla's first FULL week away from her daddy in about 3 or 4 months. The first couple of days were tough because she didn't understand when we pulled into the garage & his car was here why he wasn't. After lots of conversations about California, golf, & work I think she finally got it. (well for now that is)

So on to the FUN STUFF... Kayla has been playing with her friends/neighbors Maris & Teagan a lot. The Foster's are going thru the whole "potty training" process with Miss Maris & Kayla IS VERY INTRIGUED WITH this. To be honest the whole potty training process SCARES THE DAYLIGHTS out of me. So Wednesday when Kayla tells me she wanted to poo-poo in the potty I was SHOCKED! I even was more shocked WHEN SHE DID IT (granted some was already in the diaper.) (I know "too much info" sorry....) Here I am not prepared what so ever so I chalk it up to, "that was a fluke from watching Maris." Then the next couple of days... nothing! SO I am thinking OK it was definitely a fluke. THEN TODAY comes around..... after lunch she tells me, "mommy popo-popo potty" so I take her to the potty & SHE GOES! HOLY MOLY OK maybe I need to start reading up & asking questions. Here I am thinking she is still to young, is this for real, GREAT I am going to have to pursue this. I researched some things while she napped to try & get my ducks in a row. Sure enough after dinner she tells me again she has to go & again SHE ACTUALLY GOES. So basically I got my book (thanks Kel & Shelly for the ideas & book) & I'm about to start reading.... I'm still scared being this opens a whole NEW can of worms. ex: panties, pull-ups, school situations (being the lil' potty's are in a different building), BUT HEY MAYBE NO MORE DIAPERS... again I don't want to get TO AHEAD of myself because I don't want to scare her away from it, but on the other hand I don't want the opportunity to pass me by either. SO I will continue to pray about it & KEEP YOU POSTED!

On a different note... Kayla had a WONDERFUL week at school; she just loves it so much there! I love all the things she tells me when I pick her up... (some not as clear as others) We played a lot at the park before the weather got FREEZING cold.... "Nice 85 Friday then 33 Saturday." One day she got to play with her friend Carter at the park & they had lots of fun. Saturday she got to stay the night with her NaNa & PaPa while mommy went to dinner with some girls (thank you again for the invite Shelly & for the last minute change in plans Dana & Randy) She also got to play with her cousin Madison & Aunt Heather which she LOVED!!!!!

So on to week two... then daddy will be home for a week!!! Good luck to the boys in Phoenix this week & AWESOME PLAYING IN PALM SPRINGS!!! Great momentum into a course that RP & J love!!! Have a blessed & wonderful week to all! If anything exciting happens this week of course I will blog about it!
