Kindergarten Potty

Our kids are just itty-bitty so we have a constant struggle trying to find solutions to help them. For example, when Taylor was potty training it was hard to get her on the bigger potty and the little training toilets are so gross to constantly clean them out. So... We got this ingenious idea from Nursery and Kindergarten, they have the most adorable real miniature toilet and we wanted one for our house. I looked on the Internet and found one that could be delivered in 2 days and ordered it and this is peek at what it looks like...

Taylor Maylie is 3 and 5!!!

We have been trying to tell Tay that she is three but of course, Taylor, being emma's shadow, wants to be just like her (including her age). So if you ask her how old she is don't be surprised to hear her say 5. So for her birthday she started planning it back in December and has been helping me shop for the decorations and supplies. We decided on doing a Luau (since it's summer and she is partly Hawaiian), with the Limbo, Palm trees, Tiki cups, grass skirts, and of course Leis! We had all of Tay's favorite foods, Hot Dogs, Princess Juice, Donuts, Cake, and Chips. She just couldn't wait to get her party started! Her buddies all arrived and dove into the fun! It was a very LONG birthday party! As it came time to say goodbye to our guests I couldn't rip her away from all the new toys! The party was over and we were on our way home and I asked Tay what she thought of the party and she said "Momma it was the awesomest ever ". Tay-Tay is so funny!

It's no fair! hmmm

The battle of consistency and fairness can't ever be won, believe me I try! When I gave out gummy bear vitamins last night, Emma got 2 pink and Taylor got 1 yellow and 1 red. Emma says "ohh yummy I love these", but Tay-Tay says "Hmmm no fair I didn't get pink hmm no fair"! I thought come on, it's only a gummy bear!

That's just one of many examples of fairness or lack thereof that goes on daily at our house! It doesn't matter whether it's a kids meal toy, a candy, an Easter present, a new outfit, a hair bow, or even character utensils "IT'S JUST NO FAIR"! Well I am unsure of why my kids feel so cheated, until I found the source...... ME, I just think it's not fair that I can't eat a box of cookies a day and still wear my "cute pants". It's no fair that I have to change poopy diapers, and do the dishes, and eat healthy food, and so on. Waa waa waa right? Well, I got to thinking about what's not fair and....

Really it's just not fair that I have such wonderful sweet kids, and a Husband who is willing to do the occasional poopy diaper change or watch a girlie movie with me, and a family who would do anything for me whenever I ask, and a roof over my head, and confidence that I CAN DO ANYTHING!

Fine that's corny I know, I know but once in a while when I have hard days I realize how blessed I truly am and remember, hmm it's no fair hmmm! :)
