Potty Learning

I'm very proud to say that as of 26 months old Penni has been diaper free! Yay! And she did most of the work herself, I introduced the potty to her back around the time she turned 1 and would occasionally sit her on it and try to keep her amused so she stays long enough to go. In the summer she got plenty of nakey time and the potty was around, and there was also a lot of pottying on the floor haha. Then one day she ran to the potty sat down and peed, with no prompting reminding or encouraging. From that point on it was just more of the same and I tried to be consistent. Finally we braved the nights, it turns out that she was waking up so much at night because she wanted to pee and didn't want to do it into the diaper. Talk about mommy guilt! Accidents have been rare and in the last 2 months we've only had one phase of regression that lasted roughly a week so I'd say we are doing pretty good.
In other updates she is talking more and more every day, I know that she is still way behind other kids her age, but most other kids her age aren't spoken 2 in 3 different languages so I'm ok with that. The doc said as long as there is a lot of progress between 2 and 2.5 years of age then we are good, so I think she is fine.
David has recently cleaned out my hard drive so I don't have many pics to include, but here are a few:
Here she is modeling one of my hats for me


she was helping me sort the yarn


Most days she won't take a nape, so on the ride home this is often what happens


The kid is OBSESSED with dandelions, she spots them in the most random of places on our walks


and this pic is just cute :)


I'm also changing this blog a bit, I initially intended it as a way to document Penni growing up, but I've also been wanting to vent and rant stuff that's not related to her and really don't feel like starting another blog, so it will be more of a space where I feel like I can vent and rant about whatever haha.
And just for good measure here is a snipet of my etsy shop:
