POOP!

So we have kinda sorta not really been potty training Evelyn. She's pooped in the potty once a long time ago and since then if I see her starting to go I ask her "evelyn poo poo in the potty?" and her response is always the same...."NO poo poo potty!" She's only two not too worried about it. WELL, yesterday she went to the bathroom so I went to get a diaper and wipes So as I'm about to walk into our carpeted living room In walks a naked child with POOP on her bum and legs. Yes she took everything off and left her poo poo diaper on the ground. THANK GOODNESS there was no poop on the floor! Hopefully this means shes getting closer to wanting to potty train! Or it could be Evey being....Evey! Well since I worked 7p-7a last night and now I am at work (agency) for half a day 730am-noon, I am going to go before I start typing jibberish haha. 2-3hrs of sleep and then its time to take Evey trick or treating! Thats all for now, till next time.

My little pony

Despite her "I'm not in the mood for pictures" look, she had a blast riding her pony! She can be fast asleep and impossible to wake up but if you say "Wanna go ride your pony?" She will sit straight up and say "socks on! shoes on!" She may walk around like a zombie for a little while but she forces herself to wake up, its hilarious. Lady got to a trot(w Nana close of course) and Evey was grinning from ear to ear. Its hard to believe she is 2! My dad stopped by last night and dropped off some souveniers from his 3week cruise, Evey would not leave him alone and kept sayin "come on papa colors colors come on!" it was cute. Work has been okay, we have a neuro side and two trauma sides to our unit and I was stuck on neuro this past week. I will take a bad train wreck trauma over neuro side ANY day. Although Amy came to have lunch with me (if you can call midnight lunch) one of those days, it was great to see u Amy! I am not giving up trying to convince her to come work with me. The weather has been beautiful so we are spending more time outdoors and Evey loves it, we all do. We got a mexican lime tree, it already has limes on it....margaritaville here we come! The other night we went to a dinner party at a friends house and it was mexican night...omg chile rellenos and rice and stuffed jalepenos everything was delicious! Now I have to work it off at the gym lol. I also learned that I SUCK at ping pong haha. We had a great time though and Evey loved chasing the dog around. Time to run, till next time!

Big Girl Bed!

Evey slept in her big girl bed in her own room! BACKGROUND- We lived in a one bedroom apt for the first 1 1/2 yrs of her life so naturally her crib was right next to othe bed. So we bought our first home and set up her crib in her own room, around 4 or 5am she would cry n we would bring her to bed with us. The eventually she started climbing out of her crib (not safe). So we converted her crib to a day bed and with no side rails she naturally would sneak into our bed at night while we were asleep. So for our sleeping convienience we put her matress beside our bed and thats where she has been sleeping. So I decided to bite the bullet and we had her help us take her matress to her "big girl bed" and started our new night time routine (she had no clue what was going on lol) and the first night went relatively smooth, cried a little then slept through the night. Last night cried a little and then woke up at 5am, I was SO tempted to let her sleep in our bed for the morning but I sucked it up and walked her back to her room and sat with her till she fell asleep. I am such a push over when it comes to Evelyn! When I walked out of her room she yelled WAIT! NO MAMMA COME BACK COME BACK! WAAAIIIT! It was hard for me, I think I had just as much seperation anxiety as she did! So hooray for sleeping in her own room!

I'm 26!

So I am 26 today. We relaxed all day and watched football, we will probably go out to eat tomorrow night to celebrate. I would LOVE to be celebrating in Vegas with my best friends but the vacation thing didn't pan out. Vegas- no one to watch Evey, Dauphin Island Alabama- wiped out by hurricaine Ike, TX Treasure Casino boat- owner n renter of the boat going to court over repair costs.... so we are hoping to go to Lake Charles in the next couple of months. Evelyn is 2 already and talking up a storm, she does and says the funniest things. Her latest phrases are "What u talk about mamma?" and "Not so fast!".... I recently realized that its only 2 more years before she starts pre-school and I wanted to cry. Maybe next year we will take her to Disney World. We are getting settled into the house but I still need to decorate. We decided not to put a pool table in the back room bc it would be a tight squeeze so we are gonna buy another TV and a Wii and make it into a mini game room. Well thats all for now, time to relax.
