Easter, Potty Time and a little vacation
Our Spring Break began with an attempt at potty training on Saturday morning. I set no expectations of how receptive Millie would be to the idea of going on the potty chair. That morning she did pretty well even though we went through several wet panties. She seemed to be getting it. The afternoon was a different story. She was somewhat resistant to sitting on the potty and didn't want to wear any undies what so ever. Things seemed to be digressing. By the end of the day, I felt defeated. I reached out to my potty training expert, Leigh my awesome sister-in-law, to see if what we experienced in the last 12 hours was normal. She said it was, so my spirit was renewed, and I was determined to keep on the potty track tomorrow, which happened to be Easter Sunday.
I had this big plan in place to make it through the couple of hours at church and then back to the grind...
Matt, however, had the urge to travel down to Charleston to spend one of the holiest days of the year with our family. That's a 3 hour+ drive there and back! I'm not sure who's agenda he got, but it wasn't mine... I'm spending the next 4 -5 days on potty lock-down. (Note to self- never never potty train when husband takes the week off. Although it sounds good in theory, it really just forces you to ditch training all together and have some family time. Darn! sarcasm). Thankfully, God made my husband the head of the house and although he dragged me kicking and screaming, by the time I saw the Summerville sign, I truly would have rather been there then at home with lots of peepee-panty laundry.
Camden's first Easter was one for the scrapbooks, but I forgot to bring my camera. I'm relying on pics from my dear in-laws. Please email them to me :)
Our few hours in Charleston prompted us to book a little 3-day vacation back at the beach. We began our venture at the outlets before heading to Wild Dunes in Isle of Palms, SC. We are loving it! They have a big fun Millie-sized playground at the resort. We're staying in a condo 100 yard from the beach! We spent the evening with our Charleston friends Michelle and Paul and their little guy Brayden. Millie and Brayden got pretty close. After dinner we walked to the beach and the kids ran wild! All three of the kids could barely keep their eyes open during their bath. Everything's quiet now. We are so looking forward to another fabulous day tomorrow!
