{A Look Back on } 2015

-
I barreled into 2015 as we anticipated the arrival of our second girl
After she made her debut at the end of January, we bought a one way ticket to Crazytown and things haven't slowed down since.
Most of the year was spent adjusting to being a family of 4. I can now say it rocks and we're having a blast most days! 
Caris became a Big Sister, potty trained and so much more...
..including no naps, for the most part. Here's my non-napper. 
We trudged through some tough months in parenting when discipline/consistancy/whattheheckarewesupposedtodo thoughts were always on our mind 
We watched sweet Liza grow and develop through out the year. Think of the milestones! And although she spent her first 2 months of life in a bouncy chair up on the kitchen counter, I'm relieved to report that she seems is psychologically well adjusted and not emotionally neglected. 
Big independent girl
Finally, we watched Kent's Tigers play a great season! Welcome 2016!

But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
