The Zoo

So, the plan for today was to take a day off work for me and Avery to spend some mommy and daughter time together. A thief decided to almost ruin our plans and break into our car instead. At church. On Wednesday. Ugh. So, we had to fit the zoo into taking the car to the body shop and getting the kids, so Jason was our third wheel. Ha ha!



The zoo was so much fun. I loved spending the day with Avery today. She didn't cry one time, all day. Might surprised, considering it was really warm!


She didn't really know what to think about some of the animals. Her favorite one was this guy...


Shew-y, these flamingos were stinky!!!


We ate lunch in the Crocidile Cafe. The glass was right there, and these turtles kept swimming right by us. She loves fish and loved to watch them swim.


She didn't know what to think of this golden statue...


Snakes always creep me out a little. Even in cages. This guy was enormous.


We even let her explore a little.



We took the train...



And then at the end of the day, this guy decided to come right up to where we were standing and eat his snack.


What a great day. I needed that. :-)

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...
