Avery's Birthday Party!

I can't believe it. I have a 4 year old daughter!!

We had a Pajama and Pancake themed birthday party yesterday and it was so much fun! I think everyone enjoyed showing up comfy as much I did.

Avery got lots of her favorite things - dress up clothes. She can't EVER have enough dress up clothes. This Elsa dress, though - Oh. My. Goodness. It lights up and sings Let It Go.

She also got lots of Doc McStuffins stuff....if we expect her to keep us in the lifestyle we dream of during retirement, she'd better get really good at this version of Operation.

Avery Grace,

You have given me and your dad so much joy. You are a handful - you love to have things your way, you love to be in charge, and you love to be independent. You also love to give me hugs and kisses, you love to tell us "thank you!" and you are kind and thoughtful. You are so smart - you catch on to things so fast and you love to sing us songs. You have such a little attitude!! You love to pose for pictures and be the center of attention! You have such a creative imagination and will play and play. Dressing up and playing make-believe is your most favorite thing! I love that you still love me to rock you and read to you. I love that you still let me love on you. I love that I am still your best friend. I hope it stays that way! I am so proud of you! Happy birthday, 4 year old!

Love, Mommy

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????
