Busy Day Off


OK, so I have decided that my daughter grows WAY to fast. Since may, she has gone from wearing a size 6 shoe to a 8.5 now! Not only has her feet grown quickly, but so has she! She was barely wearing a size 3T pant last winter...thank goodness for adjustable waist pants other wise her pants would be hanging off her. Now, she fits in the waist of a 3T, but needs the length of a 4T...UGH! I ended up having to put EIGHT pairs of jeans in the "to save" pile. I am keeping some of her good clothes just in case I ever get married and have another baby some day...yes, I would like to eventually get married...but it is looking REALLY sad! Since I got my first paycheck Friday, I used some of it to go get Emily new shoes and new pants. The weather is starting to get cold here, so she was needing them now. Cold...as in upper 60s now...compared to a week ago when it was in the 90s! I just want to put a brick on her head so she will quit growing!
And Today I also decided was going to be a day dedicated to potty training and learning ABCs. HA! She got up this morning and instead of putting on a clean diaper, I put her in underwear. She would pee in her underwear and then go to the bathroom, bring me the dirty underwear and get a clean pair. Luckily I had thought ahead and brought ALL of the underwear upstairs! We went through ALL of the underwear today. My patience is not so good...after we went through all of the underwear by 3 this afternoon, I admited to defeat and put her back in a diaper. I told her that she had to go back in a diaper because she wouldn't use the potty. She was VERY upset to go back into a diaper and I told her we would try it again tomorrow before I had to go to work. All of the 12 pairs on underwear are in the washer right now. This potty training thing is do difficult. I envy those parents who say they can do it in one day. HELP ME!!!
