While I was away…

We:
Pretty much potty trained Jace- he’s doing SO well- has an occasional accident, but he is in underwear 24/7, stays mostly dry at naps and nighttime, and we’re not looking back!

Developed diaper envy- this past week was supposed to be a fun “stay-cation”, but because we chose to potty train Jace instead of going a million fun places like originally planned, I developed a little bit of diaper envy… ie: being jealous of friend’s children who are still in diapers and are much easier to tote to places where there may not be pottys available. I just have to remind myself of my new found monthly savings!

Cleaned up the yard following hail storm- got hit HARD by a 5 minute hailstorm and are now having to have the home and the car repaired.

Fell in love with rebounding- finally found a type of exercise that I LOVE! I’ve had a mini-trampoline for a couple of years now but its been sitting in the basement collecting dust (like all good exercise equipment should!). I finally got it out after learning that 10 minutes rebounding is equal to or better than 30 minutes on the treadmill! YAY! AND it works MORE muscle groups- particularly your core! After just one day of rebounding for 15 minutes, I FELT it all over my body! Yay for a fun way to lose post-baby-pudge!

Got a new toy- a new sit-n-stand stroller! God bless Big Lots for having an awesome sale on this and God bless my husband for letting me run out to get it on our first potty-training day!! It’s the coolest stroller EVER and I’ll be able to sell TWO of my other strollers in return! It lets the infant car-seat attach, it has the main seat in the front, a seat in the back, a standing platform in the back, and a HUGE bonus storage basket for shopping!

And luckily, we did manage to go swimming!
