SUYL Moms of Girls

I decided to link up with Kelly's Korner again about being a mom with all girls. Since my only biological child is a girl, I figured I would link up.

I have no idea what it's like to have blue around a nursery, or not have bows in a baby's hair. My life is filled with more zebra than I can count!

I don't know what it's like to have my little boy shoot pee-pee in my mouth when I am changing his diaper. Or to like trucks and trains better than dolls and "boobies" (Barbies, this word is my favorite).

I don't know what it's like not to have tons of skirts and pantyhose and pink, red and purple in the closet.

I don't know any other way to live, than to watch my 8-pound-nothing daughter melt the hearts of grown men.

I don't know any other way to live than to wish so many things for my little girl. I don't know what it means to want my son to grow up with a respect for women, because all I know is a want for my daughter to grow up respecting herself, knowing that beauty is on the inside, and to love God more than she loves any other man.

I wish every day that no matter how beautiful my daughter is, and will continue to be, that she remembers to be kind to everyone, all the time. To help her know that people remember your kindness more than they will ever remember your beauty.

I pray constantly and hope above all hopes that she makes mistakes (but not the same ones I did!).

I love being a mom to a little girl. It's heartbreaking, scary, difficult, and WONDERFUL all the time. It's a joy to have her and I couldn't imagine it any other way!

Guess Who Has A New Potty???

This girl!! Jason and I took Avery to Target tonight to find a potty chair. We didn't know what kind to get. When we got there, she loved the Sesame Street one. It's the kind that sits on the toilet, not an actual chair. I've heard both reasonings on a chair and a pad for the real toilet. On one hand, the chairs are little and easier for them to sit on and they aren't scary to flush. On the other, the pad doesn't require you to have to clean out a chair and they teach kids to sit on the big potty from the get go. What it really came down to was that we just don't have a big bathroom at all, so keeping an actual chair in the bathroom would have been hard. So we got the pad. It has a little hook that you attach to the tank, so you can hang the pad on it. I love this! I have no intention of actually potty training Avery full out, just yet. I don't think she is ready. But I have heard it's good to have one that they can practice sitting on and get u...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head. As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee. I can't believe I just said that. It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...

Just a little bathroom project....

Raise your hand if this is what your bathroom looks like after every round of baths at your house????
