So the Potty Training Journey Begins

Proud mommy moment: Chloe peed on the potty yesterday for the first time! Yay! 

For awhile I went back and forth over when I would start Chloe on potty training. Ultimately in the end I decided to wait until I really thought she was ready and could understand a little more to be willing. That time has come, last night we came in the house after swimming and she wanted to sit on the potty. I have gotten her to sit on her potty numerous times in the past but nothing, this time she peed! I'm not 100% sure on how I plan to go about this process, she isn't quite two yet and isn't in daycare or anything so I'm in no major rush to get things done as quickly as possible. 

Here is my list of essential to start off the potty training journey with:
•A potty of course!
•A stool, for reaching the sink to wash hands and also is your potty seat sits right on the toilet
•Pull ups or some sort of training pants
•Adorable undies
•A book about potty training to make your child interested
•Reward chart if you decide to do one, obviously not necessary
•And the rewards of course, if you decide to do rewards

There are probably things I'm forgetting but that just the start of my list, feel free to comment or comment on my Instagram any good tips or charts or anything that you found helpful in this process, I really appreciate it! Over the next little while expect some post relating to potty training such as reward charts, and any useful tips that I come across and more :)

Great Educational Children's Book!

I recently had the opportunity to read a great children’s book written by Christine Bronstein. The title of the book is Stewie BOOM! and Princess Penelope: Handprints, Snowflakes and Play-dates. I am always interested in finding new resources and such relating to children with different special needs. My son, Logan, is developmentally delayed. Sometimes it can be hard interacting with other families, friends and even our own family, not everyone understand and that can make not only kids but adults, possibly even more so. This book is great for families with a special needs child to share with their friends and family. It is also great read for children to educate them about differences and that we should embrace them not avoid them. I feel like this book would be especially appropriate for elementary teachers and early childhood educators to read to their classes. As a parent my favorite thing about the book was at the end there were tips about having a play-date with a sp...

2nd Q&A (IG and Ask)

1. Did you mean to get pregnant? (@jklundy93) No, not at all. Both of my babies were a complete surprise! 2. In your opinion which is better, C-section or Natural? (@me_enchanta15) By natural I assume you me vaginal delivery. I had a vaginal delivery with both my babies so I don't personally have a preference. I think it all depends on the person, everyone is different. 3. Do you add guys on your private Instagram account? Not really, I have a few on there but they are either dads or people that I know personally. 4. Do you have a Kik? Yes I do, my username is maddie_swimmer 5. Do you want anymore kids?  I definitely want more in the future, I'm not sure how many I'd like someday though. I don't want anymore for awhile though. 6. How did you get pregnant? I'll just explain with Logan so this isn't super long. I was on the birth control pill when I got pregnant with Logan, obviously I must have missed one or it just plain didn't work because I have Logan now ...

Hello May

I was half way through the day before I actually realized that today is May 1st already. It's so hard to believe, this year has gone by so quickly! Logan will be one in a month, he is getting so big. I think he will be walking soon, he stands for short periods of time not holding onto anything and he will walk holding my hands or on something. I am still nursing occasionally but not as much anymore. Logan has been sleeping through the night finally, so I am getting a bit of much needed rest! Chloe is getting so big, she will be three in about a little less then 5 months, isn't that crazy! Hopefully she will be starting preschool in the fall, providing they have any spots left, fingers crossed. The kids and I have been having so much fun playing outside and going for walks in this nice weather! I am really looking forward to this summer and taking them to the beach and my cottage.  In the last couple weeks I have been so happy to get out in the evenings a few times to get some f...
