Potty training and boo boos


Well, it’s been a pretty quiet week here. The temps went back up and it got nice and steamy and so it made the weekend kind of rainy and gray. We made the best of it though and got some things done in the yard and around the house. The Olympics have been on here at our house every day since they started and they seem to be pretty entertaining for her… gymnastics and the diving seem to excite her. She starts jumping around, waving her arms and running in place like she’s trying to do what they are! Very funny to say the least.

This week she also figured out how to swing like a big girl – leg pumping action and everything! The other fun thing that has been going on, for a while now, is potty training. We started her early (16 months) to see if she’d take to it….if she keeps on like she is, she just might be in big girl pants by the time she’s 2.

On another note, we discovered yesterday that she has a phobia of band-aids! Months ago at her last vaccination appointment she had a pretty traumatic experience. One of the shots was very painful (the nurse had warned me it would be) and she didn’t handle it well. That night at bath time she saw the band-aids and absolutely freaked out…screaming bloody murder – the works. So, to make a long story short, for the next 3 days whenever she’d see something on her body that was round-shaped like the band-aids (her belly button), she would go nuts. Needless to say, Saturday’s booboo didn’t stay covered with the band-aid I so lovingly applied.
