Well, a few major things have taken place in the lives of my children since my last post....for my little man Micah he has recently celebrated his first birthday, recieved his first haircut, and taken a few independent steps...and for the self proclaimed "princess" of the house (Matty)....well, she has started making the first steps towards potty training. I say she has started "making the first steps toward potty training" because at this time we have yet to really "use" the potty...right now I am pretty sure she thinks the potty is something you sit on and look at books for 20minutes before you put on your diaper and actually "go potty"...but hey, like I said...its the first steps...right...lol...another major, major, major milestone for my little princess...well, actually I guess its more for me but....the "terrible two's" seem to be declining....yay!!! I am not sure if it is simply that she is maturing and more capable of vocalizing her needs in order to get them met or the fact that I have backed off slightly and I let her do some "big girl" things on her own...like brush her teeth by herself (this one is huge for me because I am extremely OCD about clean teeth) and I even swallowed my fear, took a few deep breaths, and I have been letting her walk by the shopping cart instead of riding in it when we go for groceries (I know this sounds ridiculous, but for me it was huge...I have a tremendous fear of someone taking one of my kids!!...so in a way you can count this toward a milestone of my own as well!) I really think it is a combination of Matty growing up and me letting go of my "baby" a little....whatever it may be...it's been an amazing difference! A milestone of my own is my recent decision to go "back to school" in January to get my Master's degree in clinical counseling!! yeah, pretty excited about that one.....
To sum things up.....everyone in the house is currently "growing" and moving forward...............more details and pictures to come........................I had planned on a longer more in depth post but I have 2 active, mobile toddlers in the house and I just heard a loud crash come from the play area........sooooo ummmm....I am heading that way.......pray no one is hurt!!...lol

How to start...hmmm...
Well...well...well...here I sit with an empty page before me, my kids tugging at my legs beside me, and lunch still smeared across a couple of highchair trays that I am currently avoiding. Yes!! It is the life of a stay at home mommy...you have internet (mostly facebook because it makes you feel as though you have a life outside the home) you have lunch with friends (yep you guessed it peanut butter and jelly...AGAIN...per request of my 2 year old) oh and the friends I just mentioned are my 10mth old son and 2yr old daughter (which I have to say are quite entertaining at the table and the conversations seem to never run dry)...turns out toddlers can be great company :-)!!!!
I have a tendency to ramble so I am going to try to cut straight to the point of my blog and even the title of my blogsite (One Day I Will Potty By Myself)...I hope to use this site to note some of the funny, hard, and triumphant times of raising my toddlers....The title of my site came from a thought process I have had for awhile which began one day when my 2yr old was basically trying to tear down the door of the bathroom while I was in there....I started trying to calculate the last time I had gone to the bathroom without an audience at the door and then I began to think about how one day no one would be at that door anymore and how I would miss it and (if you know me you know my mind also rambles) then I began to think about how many diapers I change a day and how one day there will be no more diapers and even though I would be happy to have the extra money I thought about how I would miss having babies around and would even miss my little unwanted guests to the bathroom.... and VIOALA....I started keeping a journal, which is now going to be a public journal, and I named it "one day i will go potty all by myself" basically because it parallels my kids current diaper situation and my current "visitor to the bathroom" situation....I hope to use this site to keep up with my growing kids and my life as I navigate through this mommy thing.....
ok so i am also computer retarted so lets see if i can even get this to post......
