As I was downloading this photo, I realize this might not be the "appropriate" picture for what I am about to say in this post....hmmm, but I just love this goofy look of Noel, and I love the fact our babysitter Jenni captures precious moments of the little girl when mommy is not home. Here, I was told Noel had her lunch right there by the kitchen counter, before Jenni could put together a sandwich, Noel ate the whole thing!
Anyway, Noel seems to be a "over-night" type of child. Every development happens over night, that includes her "terrible two" - overnight, she turned into a little devil; and thankfully, just like that, after 4 months of nightmare, she turned back into the sweetest girl -overnight!
We went through a lot of not-so-successful potty training, I finally decided to give up, she would be ready when she is, I was tired of getting so frustrated... looked at the bright side, she cannot possibility wear diapers until college, one day, she will be trained.
And just like that, I was prepared to buy more diapers, and overnight, she trains herself!
Of course we still use pull ups at night, but she seems to be getting better with this potty training business each day. One funny thing though, whenever she needs to make a poo poo, that moment I set her on the potty chair, she wants me to "stay away" -"go back to the kitchen, mama" this is what she tells me, every single time....
As I step outside the bathroom, I try to listen to her, she talks to herself : "Hi, I am Noel....(then her voice drops so low I can no longer hear her.)"
Really, every moment is precious, as I was saying my prayer tonight, it occurred to me that as much as I want to do a good job preparing my art show, I want to get it done soon, and spend some quality time with my daughter, and do what a 2 year-old loves to do - just PLAY!
