Newness

For the past couple days I've been playing with my new puppy Loke. She is a min-pin. Absolutely adorable! We got her from a breeder. She seems to be adjusting well and will go pee on her pup-p-pad when placed on it. The cats love her. The think she is a little toy. I am over joyed in the presents of her.
On another topic, Kai's potty training is going great! She hasn't had any not paying attention to her body accidents. We are even to the stage of no pull-up unless it's bed time. It's great. I didn't expect her to learn so fast. Now if only she could pull up and down her pants by herself lol. We are working on that. She is getting so big and so smart! I love it! Her hair reaches her lower back when wet but she has her daddy's this hair so it doesn't look like it. We had to buy her new shoes because her lil converse squished her toes. Oh and the sad part is last night she had growing pains in both of her thy's and made her cry. :(
Tomorrow is my birthday. Ill be turning 28. i still feel like I'm in my young 20's. I hope that lasts. Mike and i are going to have a day out on the town after going to a chocolate convention. After putting Kai down for bed, Mike and I are going out to dinner and then a movie. I'm excited!

Scilence

I have been sick for the past week. It hasn't been easy. After the cold part, I developed bronchitis. I went to the doctor about a year ago and he said it's chronic bronchitis. I have been getting this every year for many years. He also told me that once the cold turns to bronchitis that I am no longer contagious... Like every year I have lost my voice, but this year, it lasted 4 days. Kai didn't take me seriously when I'm whispering for her not to do something lol. Part of my being a better person quest is to pe more patient... This week has been trying for sure!! But we got through it.
Also we have been potty training. We went out and bought pull-ups, and hoped for the best. We didn't think she would do as well as she has been. The first couple days were confusing for her, but that was expected. She didn't understand pull-ups. She peed in them when she didn't want to get up because she tested it and it acted like a diaper. So I went for the go naked butt while at home. It did the trick. Kai didn't want to pee on herself. She then got the concept of what to do and how to tell when she had to go. At the week mark she told us constantly when she had to potty. We went out on Friday and she stayed dry in her pull-up for almost three hours. She said "potty Mommy", so I took her and she did her buisness on the pot. We were so proud ! We then bought her some Fairy butts(panties)the next day and tried them out. While were as Target getting her Fairy butts we also got her the magnet board she needed for the magnet letters she had gotten for her birthday. Silly us introduced new toys and panties to her at the same time. She was so fixed on playing with her letters that she peed right through her panties.. She was not happy. I think she got the clue that the panies didn't hold the pee. From then on for the last couple days we have had no accidents:). She has even been waking up dry. I thought it would be longer and harder than this:).

Opening up

I have wanted to start a blog for quite sometime now. Summer inspired me to get off my (metaphorical) ass and actually do one. Every day I come into new thoughts and need to put them somewhere so I will try to remember to do them at least once a week if not more. I will try not to bore you, but if you do get to that point... I'm sorry.:) I do not expect may people to read this, But for those that take the time... Thank you!

So here it begins..


I will not go back too far, I will leave those thoughts for later blogs. Ill start with the holidays. They were great, but I did however miss my family and friends dearly. Mike and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with turkey and all sorts of sides with Kai by our side at our kitchen table in our new apartment. For Christmas Mike and I wanted to do something with just us but we were invited to a Christmas dinner with awesome new friends. So we took the opportunity to start new traditions. Christmas eve dinner at our home with family(or others if we travel) and Christmas with friends at their house. We had Lamb and different things that I have not had in a while or at all. It was awesome. We then played cards and enjoyed the night.
Then came new years which we spent at our new friends Jessie and Brents home. There we got drunk , had a blast playing games and BS'd with new people. It was a blast. As for resolutions, I didn't make mine for a couple days after. It was to take better care of myself. I take so much care in cleaning, bathing, helping, teaching, and playing with my daughter and Loving cleaning cooking and having fun with Mike that Ive forgotten to something for myself. I want to do all of this and take better care for myself. So I have been on my own case about eating better, getting out more, drinking more water and being happy when the day has been stressful by thinking of all the things in my future planned and all the great in the past. I know its not much but it is a start. Now if only i had the energy to do it more lol.
