That's NO pants. No training underwear, no underwear, no diaper. Have the potty easily accessible. Please just try this because it has worked for not only me, but several friends as well. As long as your child is ready (which you say Abbie is), she will figure it out within the week. This, of course, only works when you can have a few days where you don't have to go anywhere. You might get pee on your floor 2-6 times or so, but my very casual data collection shows that after that, a ready to go in the potty child will do so. No stress for you, no stress for her. Oh, a reward for successful pee in the potty is helpful, too. We used 2 m&m's for pee, 3 for poo.Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12269313000174591292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6841515977640057681.post-31186815603969020882012-01-02T08:30:48.675-07:002012-01-02T08:30:48.675-07:00Lots of good goals. I agree with you about feeling...Lots of good goals. I agree with you about feeling "frumpy" sometimes, but at the same time i also wonder if the people are comfortable in what they are wearing, and how much it cost!! That's my biggest thing. Sometimes when i want to put together a "cute" outfit... it ends up costing like $250 between pants, shirt, shoes, jewelry... which is really kinda ridiculous cause then u can only wear it once every couple weeks... <br />ALSO i loved your pic of u jumping Billy, i think the same thing every time i look back at horse pics from that time... i thought i looked ridiculous in breeches. If only i had really known!! I'd take that time back ANY time :)Rachelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6841515977640057681.post-67281624452854400172012-01-02T08:30:24.760-07:002012-01-02T08:30:24.760-07:00Good luck!

I have been on a riding hiatus for far too long but I just don't have the time/money to devote to it right now. :/Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05324654655077124083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6841515977640057681.post-86454951176267597122012-01-02T06:49:30.137-07:002012-01-02T06:49:30.137-07:00I can relate to number 3 and 4.

Lately I've had the opportunity to get some new clothes and I just feel lost in the stores sometimes....I would love to be hip and trendy, but it can be overwhelming. We've purposefully avoided getting smart phones because I know I would become addicted (and thus end up ignoring the hub and kid). Good Luck with your goals!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6841515977640057681.post-18908574272532431962012-01-02T05:53:35.478-07:002012-01-02T05:53:35.478-07:00That's a great, achievable list! Your number 3...That's a great, achievable list! Your number 3 is one of the hardest things I've discovered about this base. I'm exactly like you when it comes to being comfortable, and frumpy is the precise word I use to describe me next to other women I've seen here. We just need to be frumpy (aka comfortable and normal) together! <br /><br />#4 is another thing I've been more conscious of, too (re: technology). I've been making it a point to not touch my iphone the second we get into our bedroom at night and it's been helping. Not only am I sleeping better, but that's when my husband and I catch up on things. <br /><br />And number 5—I go to Zumba twice a week (tuesday and thursday) if you want to come! It's fun and even though I look ridiculous, I absolutely LOVE it! <br /><br />(sorry this is such a long comment; it was a great post!)Jessica Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283561653744769352noreply@blogger.com
