Potty trained at 23 Months

this is the Zem.

It seems like it was longer, but it was almost exactly one month ago when we first got this little potty chair. A month later, she's a potty-trained, 23 month old Champion Bebe! In the past 48 hours, she has used her potty *6* times. I am so proud of my little boo.

She likes to bring me the pot to show me what she did, and then we celebrate with lots of squeals, shouts, stickers, hugs, and kisses. Whenever she does something wonderful, she throws her arms up inthe air and says, "A-hee!" Today she was so excited that she tripped and spilled the peepee all over the floor. We both laughed about it and I gave her more stickers.

I'm looking forward to doing less laundry. And I'm so very proud of my little Zem!

I finally remembered to pick up some tempura paint for her, along with this 163 piece bargain art set that only cost $5. When she gets older I'll splurge for better quality material, but for now this will do. First thing yesterday morning she was asking to "Caa-oo? Caa-oo?" Later in the afternoon I set up the paint for her, and she completed 4 masterpieces... until she got tired of it, walked on top of a painting, slipped, and fell right on her tush! Well, that was the end of painting for the day.

Firstly, and most importantly,
Happy Birthday Trent Reznor

We've been quite busy here these past few weeks. The weather has been too nice to stay inside and create things. There are 8 seahorses just waiting to be finned and stuffed, and dresses to be cut and sewn. I have gotten 3 up in the shop so far, but many more will be following soon.

So what's this blog about, anyway?

This is going to be a positive space where I can share information on natural parenting, recipes, natural lifestyles, tutorials/how-to's, experiences, etc. Maybe it will also help to organize my brain, because the zillions of notes I make around the home aren't doing it.

Now if I could only figure out how to stop time..
