Potty Training Begins

Well today we have had a tremendous start to potty training! She has peed in her potty 3 times. She did dribble in her diaper but we were outside and she did make that she wanted to go in.. so maybe.. she was trying? She has been sitting on the potty in the mornings when we get up. It's been a hit and miss with going in the potty.. but I also sometimes am slow to get out of bed.. so it is probably me... The other day she whipped her diaper off and peed on my carpet.. which is why we are potty training now...I think that is a clear signal to start. So, we are now on the potty training!

Anyway... off to do some stuff... and change a pooper dooper diaper.. anyone volunteering? I hope she will poop in the potty soon.. mind you I don't know if I want to clean that up!!! LOL

Long day in Yorkton....

Well, we had a wonderful. But long, day in Yorkton today. We had some things to pick up. A lot of running always in the city. And it does not matter which one or when... LOL

The last few days have been absolutely beautiful out! Little G and I have spent some good hours outside. We climb through the snow or splash in the puddles. I took her on her toboggan the other day uptown.. that was a mistake.. muddy mittens and muddy jacket followed.. so, Tuesday we got out the stroller!! Much nicer.. not so muddy!!! And yes we got down and tromped around in the puddles and such after the stroller ride! It's hard to bring her in .... she cries.. doesn't want to be inside.... even when she is cold or tired.

Well.. That is about all I have to say right now... I know it isn't much.. but.. OH! We almost have a shed! A big shed! Hooray!! :) Now that is all I have to say! LOL

Talk to you all later!

This, That and the other.

Well. We had a nice quiet weekend. Monday I headed out to see Trics from By the hills for a visit. I just realized she hasn't blogged for 11 months! Wow!

We had a good visit. Gwyn emptied her plastics cupboard... LOL and we had tea. I traveled down gravel to visit.. made it just over an hour to see her! Was great! Though I must say.. I will not be taking Highway 310 any time soon again! What a sh**hole!!! It's worse than a bad gravel road.. and by bad I mean rough. So on the way back I did all gravel.. much nicer.

Anyways.. got to run.. things are quiet around here today too...

Catch you all later!

Your young and visual Scorpio child is very strong willed and very goal oriented. This baby has a keen mind and loves challenges like hide-and-go-seek or magic tricks. They resent harsh orders and like to be dealt with reason on an adult level much better. Be very forthright with your Scorpio child because they possess an uncanny ability to sense when they are being deceived. Scorpios don't get mad, they get even. Learning comes easy to Scorpios and they need to be challenged and kept busy. Once they get a goal in mind, they pursue with incredible endurance. Your little Scorpio is very independent but very loving.

Today... Your photo treat...

Well, Gwyn figured there wasn't enough pictures of toys on this blog.. so here we have it. Her Tonka truck parked at the water jug, next to the stove.. with her juice cup on the floor. And her car. It parks by the front door. So if your visiting, come to the back.. LOL mind you she likes to ride around in it too so... LOL

And our little star.. LOL I think she is tired of pictures there...

Gwyn sitting nicely smiling.. but not at me!

Just my sweetie...

This weekends pictures...

Grandma and Grandpa brought Gwyn some beautiful cloths. As per usual grandma has picked out some beautiful pieces. Thank you Grandma. Anyways, this sweater was among them, a valentines sweater for our Gwyn. :) It is very pretty on her.
Grandma and Gwyn were watching daddy and grandpa working on our shed. They got 4 walls up. Not completely plywood but looking good! We have some great progress!!!

And no, honey that is grandpa's backside not yours!!!

Visit with Mom and Dad

Well, Friday night I got a call from Mom. Could they come for a visit? Of course they can!! So, they arrived hmm 2pm ish on Saturday. We had a great visit. Gwyn loves to see her grandma and grandpa. Their visit is always far to short. They left today Sunday at 4pm. I guess 26hrs is kinda short when you think you sleep for a good 8 or so of them. But was very nice to have them out for a visit. Gwyn loved playing with her grand's. She was sad to see them go, as was I. I just wish for 3 day weekends for them to come visit.. but you have to take what you can get! LOL We will go visit sometime later this month and stay a few days.. usually a week. I have some things I want to pick up at Costco. I also would love to take Gwyn to the pool in the city. She loves the bath so much, I bet she would love the pool! Can't imagine trying to get her out of it though.. LOL Dad and James got all the walls standing on the shed. Wow it looks big.... Which is good because we have a lot of crap to store. LOL I know that sounds bad to call it crap.. but it's the stuff you can't get rid of because you need it, but you have to store it because you don't need it every day!!! How do we accumulate so much of it is what I would like to know... LOL Anyways. That is all for me to night... I have a load of laundry to change then I am off to bed.. will hunt down some pictures and what not tomorrow for you all... Maybe...
Talk to you all soon,
I've missed you all too....

More snow.....

My girlie having breakfast...

The shed in progress....

Snow, snow, snow and more snow....

Do we really need more snow? It was very nice to get that big dump of snow last week... by nice I mean the farmer's fields really really needed it. Nothing like the earth sticking out of the snow.. so now it's covered. But today.. we are getting more snow. Not that I am complaining. It's beautiful.. but I thought we had enough.. LOL

Anyways, 2 Big things. Gwyn is sitting up to the table in her chair. Loves it. And, she is down on her mattress for naps. We had to take the mattress out of the crib and put it on the floor. I think she may have some claustrophobia. Does not like to be confined/restrained. Now she will nap on the mattress... we are working on overnights too.. Last night she made it until... midnight.... the night before was better she made it all the way to 2am. But, headed in the right direction!

Well, that's about all.. I quit farming on face book..... thank gawd.. it was time... so now I have time to blog again.. I hope.. and maybe will get to do some sewing.. want to sew some bibs for Gwyn before all my tea towels are stained!!! Nice when she goes down for a nap!!!

Off and running.... BFN

Happy New Year!!!... hmm only a little late?

Well here we are in the new year. My girl is growing and almost 14 months old. For those of you with math trouble thats a year and 2 months on the 23rd. She is a very active little toddler. Cute, sweet and full of exoploration. Over Christmas she shocked her Grandpa K. with her ability to pick up a very heavy tape measure with one hand, and also her ability to pick up a 20oz. Stanley hammer. Now at home she has become very daring in her climbing. First she climbed in the chair that lost its base. Then she climbed on the footstool to my glider rocker. Then instead of mounting her pony and sitting on it(she likes to get on from either side or the back) she decided she could stand on it. And we figured it was to get to the couch. Now the pony sits in the middle of the kitchen.. and she still stands on it! See picture below. Now, she doesn't like to wear her own socks. She pulls them off right away.. but apparently Mom's socks are way better!!!

Well, off and running I am. Catchya all later.... Hopefully before too long... BFN

Not much happening round here....just keeping from freezin'

Hey, Oh I know.. has been forever since my last post. Sorry. Little Gwyn keeps things very busy! She got her 1yr vaccinations, and her flu shots... and good gawd, I wouldn't want to be her... 7 needles in 30 days! OUCH! Still better than the nasty things they prevent.. but a lot for a one year old. At least I think so. But again, better than what they prevent. She was down with a fever for a couple days, though has now sprung right back! I have toys scattered all over the house.. and currently she is working on bringing me all the blankets and wash cloths she can get her little hands on... so, needless to say she is very very busy and that is why you don't get to see a whole lot of me...

Am I nuts or did she do it?

Well..this morning... I am now wondering if I'm nuts, or if Gwyn actually did it. After her bath I was gathering the garbage(garbage day), and she followed me into the bathroom and was at her potty. So I put her on it and told her when she pees and poo bears in it all the time, then she won't need diapers.

So, later, James has gone to the farm.... she wakes from her nap, crawls all the way to the bathroom and is banging on the door. I figure she is looking for her daddy so walk over there and tell her he went to the farm and she should come back to the living room.... not 5 minutes later she comes crawling into the living room and right to me, wanting up and smelling like a poop!! Yes, she had a poo bear.

Was she now trying to tell me she had to go when she was banging on the bathroom door... and I didn't catch on? She hasn't words yet... but thinking I may have started something.... Am I nuts or did she really ask to go potty?

The funniest damn things...

Well.. LOL Gwyn has had a cold. She is getting better but you know.. so anyways. Daddy picks her up and she needs her nose wiped. So, he gets her to grab a kleenex from the box and then he brings her with the kleenex in hand to me to have her nose wiped. So, I do... then off they go. I am talking to a friend on FB. I turn around to see what Gwyn is up to... She is pulling kleenex out of the box.. one at a time.. I said "Hey! What are you doing???" and she starts pulling them faster!!! so I grab the kleenex laughing my ass off!!! I wish I had that on camera!!! LOL

Way too funny!!!

On the crafting note. When mom and dad were here I casted on a toque for Gwyn. I have put maybe 3 rows on it since they left.. so maybe 10 rows. Maybe I will have it done for the next one??? LOL

I just had to tell you that... LOL
Love yas!

Cute email joke

A little boy was waiting for his mother to come out of the grocery store.
As he waited, he was approached by a man who asked, "Son, can you tell me where the Post Office is?"
The little boy replied, "Sure! Just go straight down this street a coupla blocks and turn to your right."
The man thanked the boy kindly and said, "I'm the new pastor in town. I'd like for you to come to church on Sunday. I'll show you how to get to Heaven."
The little boy replied with a chuckle. "Awww, come on... You don't even know the way to the Post Office."

Holy Christmas.....

August.... wow.... We managed to finish those bins.... yes. finished them. Home now.. have been for a couple weeks. I had a week in the city. But home now... and if Baby G permits.. you might hear more from me. Hope you enjoy the video below. She just started walking behind that little doggy walker. She's too cute!! Anyways.. busy busy... TTFN

Growing like a weed...

Well... She is growing like a weed. I hope we get home before she has nothing to wear... the cloths that fit are becoming fewer and the suitcase I have been putting the too small cloths in is getting fuller.... oh my! She can wear 6month shorts, 12 month pants are wee bit long, 18 month tops are perfect for length and head hole. 12 month onsies are done.. too short in the body. Some of her 12 month sleepers are done too... but I did manage to find 1 pretty purple and grey lamb set of Jammie's in 18 mo.. and a one piece Jammie with no feet... mind you they still need washed before she can wear them... but that is how it goes. Growing like a weed.....healthy!! Good stuff!!!

New Pics.

Above showing me her pretty teeth.. and tongue... LOL and below she is playing but checking out what mom is doing.
