He saw a cartoon picture of a dog fishing and said, "I don't want the fish to eat the string. I don't want the dog to eat the fish." I'm afraid Evie will be fishing alone on your next visit here!deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05208971949811803163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437449174138527513.post-82887175800756877992011-04-07T18:34:39.741-05:002011-04-07T18:34:39.741-05:00Love that she caught a fish!

Yeah, Monday was not a good day and it really upset me that she had an accident at your house since your potty is completely normal and shouldn't have been intimidating to her when I took her when we got there!

I'm sure there will still be some shakeups on the road to staying try 100% of the time. But you've done very well.<br /><br />I'm sorry it was so stressful :(. And I hope that you get to enjoy some 'freedom' of a diaper less home with a child in it. I've never made it that far I've always had at least 1-3 in diapers some portion if not all of the day. I'm headed for two full-time in dipes again.. as you know. Life is chaotic but such a blessing as well.<br /><br />When you are ready to give it a try again you are most welcome to come visit us.-Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06887323204000896486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437449174138527513.post-80637862082131820522011-02-02T10:25:09.614-06:002011-02-02T10:25:09.614-06:00You know thinking about this makes me want to hide...You know thinking about this makes me want to hide under the bed and cry, right? <br /><br />We've been having these same conversations, and I read about the 3-day method and decided that's what we're going to model, as well.

Sometimes I wish life could truly be as simple as it is in the eyes of a toddler. :) I think it's great that you are planting seeds and getting lots of practice. I think the real truth is that this is a one day at a time thing & the "right time" is going to be unique for every child/family. My goal is and has always been for there never to be A TIME when he remembers learning about adoption. Rather I want the topic of adoption to evolve with him over time and sort of follow his lead in terms of what he's ready for and when he's ready to know/learn more. <br /><br />Whew! NOT an easy job on any level. <br /><br />MelbaMelbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16058896619253076094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437449174138527513.post-78509793741294125722011-01-27T13:57:43.645-06:002011-01-27T13:57:43.645-06:00This is so refreshing to read (and I love Evie'...This is so refreshing to read (and I love Evie's art!) because I feel the same way you did last year! I want to do art with C. but he drives me crazy with his never-ending desire to eat the crayons/paint & put the stickers everywhere but on the paper! I'm going to check out the site/book & also look forward to better art experiences in a few more months.
