I have to be in honest in saying that lately I am just trying to survive! My days consist of cleaning up everyone elses booty butts (as Zeke likes to call it)!
We are in the midst of potty training Sofia right now and I am not gonna lie, it has been terrible.
We are at the end of week two of cold turkey potty training her. There has been a lot of pee on the floor, daily.
We tried here and there over the past 6 months and I never felt like she was really ready. But 2 weeks ago I was tired of 2 kids in diapers and the cost of diapers! So we went for it. Lets just say I have been elbow deep in (insert expletive here) for these 2 weeks! With Moses in part time cloth diapers I have had my hands in the toilet cleaning panties and cloth diapers way too much!
These past few weeks have been super busy for Dan and most days I feel like I am in a fog. It is so hard not having family in town and there have been many days lately where I just want to go hang out at my parents house, just chat about nothing with them, or drop in at my in laws and know I can put my feet up for an hour.
So I have felt sorry for myself.
But God is so good and he always blows me away with his provision! Our family up here sees a need and they step in and help. I have had four different friends offer to watch my kids and so many more encourage me and support me in my loneliness. I know it is a season of life that will pass way too quickly but man it is hard being at home all day with the kids, just trying to survive the mayhem!
Anyway all this to say we had a victory today with potty training! For the first time we went all day without one accident! Sofia woke up with a dry pull up and got up from her nap with a dry pull up! Maybe just maybe we are getting it!

oh wow.
yay for finding the silver lining in all of this.
go Sofia, go!
miss you!
Oh, Sweetie, I remember the cabin fever. My three each took turns getting chicken pox, so we were house bound for 6 solid weeks. My heart goes out to you.
Oh, Alyssa....I feel ya, and you have Audrey X 3. I'm glad some friends have been able to encourage you lately. Wish you were here, but I know that God has an easier time making himself known in our lives when we can't rely strictly on the family and friends around us. Hang in there so you can encourage me in a month or so when I am housebound with two little ones!
We love you guys just think you have to look forward to three rebellious teenagers, enjoy this time now it will be gone soon enough. Some of us have to deal with poop and vomit in our daily jobs, another phrase for booty butts that i like is that we have a code brown, love you we are praying for you guys and miss you a lot.

I'm so sorry, I know this is a time that makes you want to go jump off a cliff. Or maybe that's just me. Anyway, she'll get it for sure and then it'll all be over! Hang in there!
The first day of potty training Dylan was so horrible that I gave up and started again about a month later! It is definitely not a fun job! We've been at it again for about a week and a half and only had one successful poop in the potty- so I totally know how you feel! Hang in there!!
