Potty training did not go as I expected..Olyvia actually began to regress in her behaviour and she became quite sad, very often...As our"potty party" continued, I began to notice that when Olyvia had accidents, she did not even notice what was happening..When I said, "Oh Livy, you are having an accident, it is O.K..", she really did not know what I was talking about...The wet panties did not phase her a bit...I read over the chapter in "Potty Training in a Day" which included the readiness checklist. Although Livy passed nearly every question, she did not pass the "emotional" aspect. Also, it states that if your child is not steadily telling you "pee pee", ect..they are not ready..I pushed it...This is my fault, and I take full responsibility..Livy is just not ready...I will try again when she is 2 1/2.
The past several weeks, we have been extremely busy..We have so much going on that I am thinking this may have had something to do with it. With this said, I have decided that in the Spring I will not be signing the girls up for nearly as many activities..As exhausted as I have become, I am certain this is impacting them as well.
On another note, we decided to take Livy to Disney on Ice...I was ecstatic..Front row, literally on the ice..The bar was set high, kids and parents with smiles on their face were everywhere! PAUSE... Front row.. On the ice... THINK...
SCARY!!!!!!!!!!!
I did not realize how loud, and BIG everything would be sitting this close..Livy was so frightened we had to move up to empty seating...She enjoyed the Ariel scene, but that is about it..I think the Ice Capades will have to wait a few more years...
Olyvia and Emsley are amazing..They are both growing in height, as well as personality...They love each other so much, I could not ask for a better pair...Emma is beginning to walk as long as we are holding her hands, and she and Olyvia get so excited when this happens..They both clap and Livy shouts out "Good job Emma!: It is great...
We have a full week this week, and then Sunday things begin to unwind...Finally. Sunday we are all resting...staying in our P.J.'s and eating ice cream and watching as many Disney Films as we can...Veging out, that is what I am going to tell them, A VEG OUT DAY..Sounds good, huh?

I'm so glad that Livy and Emma are doing so well! I think our girls sometimes seem so much "older" and able to handle things, that we forget they are still little!! I know it's true with Sophia...we are frequently brought back to reality. Don't blame yourself for trying...applaud yourself for knowing that now is not the right time...some don't get that hint! Love these girls!!!
I wouldn't have thought of being front row for the ice capades being scary either but now I can see it! I bet she still loved it all!
Good for you for at least trying to potty train Livy, I've heard it can take a lot of tries before they get it. Maybe when you try again we'll be ready to do it with M and we can share our stories. :) M is all talk but when I casually ask if she wants to sit on her potty to go she doesn't.
Hope you get some downtime and lots of rest. Your girls must keep you VERY busy. Congrats on Emsley walking too!!! Take care,
Lucy
