Potty Time?

So, we are at it again, this time taking it reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally slow, none of this potty train in a weekend stuff until we get her nice and comfy with the potty. So, we have a toy story little seat for the big toilet, and her baby toilet in the front room. Today, we made a deal that she needed to go on the potty if she wanted to watch Toy Story 2 for the umpteenth time! She sat there for a good 1/2 hour I would say, but no "prize".

Wish us luck!

Making Cupcakes and First Manicure

So even though Sophia just didn't seem to like any of the recipes I made yesterday and today, today was a pretty fun milestone day! We decorated cupcakes, and did a first manicure! Check out our big girl in action.

My Transformation to Suzy Homemaker...

...is almost complete! I made homemade cheese today folks, yes, homemade! Its called Paneer, and is actually quite easy to make, but still come on, I MADE HOMEMADE CHEESE!!! Check out the recipe on this awesome blog I follow called Homecookinginmontana.blogspot.com. http://homecookinginmontana.blogspot.com/2010/07/homemade-cheesepaneer.html

Ellie has some incredible recipes that she modifies and plays with, she makes them easy to follow and even has pictures to guide you along. I have already tried a couple, my fave so far was the crushed new potatoes but I still have a ton bookmarked to try out. The next recipe to try is Mujaddara, which is a vegetarian meal or side dish, I can't wait!!!

Question for all

What is/was your child or children's funniest word difficulty? Sophia for the life of her cannot say Polka Dots, it used to come out as coconuts, and now its "Polkanuts". With prompting she can say Polka, and then Dots, but never together! So, your turn, what word or word combo just eludes your little pumpkin(s)?

OPBW*

*Operation Prepare for Baby and Winter has begun...

Nope, we aren't smuggling now, this is 40 ears of corn blanched and ready to freeze.

Spaghetti sauce will probably be next, hrmm, or maybe refried beans.

Nesting? noooooo not me .

On a side note, Nate said he is glad this is the last one since he said I am "acting weird"
