Our lives as parents

So….the potty training has come to a halt! Sort of. Aden’s fascination with the potty has waned either because he isn’t ready yet or he knows he will have to get into a knock-down drag out with Mama if she decides to push it and he doesn’t want to. I’m telling you this kid is stubborn. For instance, he doesn’t like his front teeth brushed. Gotta tell you, they look pretty grimy after a while! So, every other night I have to hold him down and brush his front teeth. He screams his bloody head off! If he had sensitive gums, then I’d understand but he brushes his back teeth just fine. I’m convinced he screams so loudly because he thinks he should do it. ONLY he won’t do it.

A day at Dudley Farm, Newberry, Florida.

Looking forward to weekend in Highlands, NC.

Traveling with a toddler and the bathrooms that need work.
Orlando was great and hot! Nothing like a Florida vacation at the height of summer! I took Aden to the Central Florida Zoo on Saturday. He recognized the elephants! That was fun. The best part of the zoo was the Splash Park they have for little kids. Aden loved it! I thought he would be afraid of the water but he wasn’t. He wanted me to walk him all around the Splash Park. I got soaked but it was completely worth it. He enjoyed himself so much!
