Well, potty training is going well. Jadyn is staying dry during the day and naps, and even stayed dry last night. However, we have 2 major hang-ups.

1. She is not telling me when she needs to go. She will occasionally, but for the most part, she is holding it until I take her to sit on the potty. I have tried to extend the time between potty runs (up to 3 hours), but she still really isn't telling me she needs to go.

2. She will not go on any potty besides her potty at home. We have a cushion potty seat that sits on the top of the toliet at home. I think she is worried of falling in on public toliets even though I am holding her. She crys and even starts to shake when I try to put her on a public toliet. Yesterday, she would not go at church. So, by the time she went (after waking up from falling asleep on the way home), it had been 5 hours since she went. While it is great that she can hold it that long and stay dry, that is not good for her little bladder. (Although I am kind of jealous though since I have a bladder the size of a pea!) They have portable, folding potty seats you can carry in your purse to put on public toliets (see picture). I really didn't want to go that route, but I might have to.

Any suggestions?

It's official! I am heading to the wonderful state of Hawaii again this year. I bought my plane ticket today. This time we are spending 2 days in Maui and the rest of my spring break in O'ahu. I am so excited! The best thing about being single is that I can do these trips and only pay for me! Plus, I am going with 4 other girls, so everything is split between 5! I can handle that!

This is an injury from snowboarding on Tuesday. I was in the half pipe and I was headed to the other side of the pipe with my back towards the center and in the middle I collided with a kid that wasn't watching where he was going. His board hit me in the leg and his knee almost hit me in the face but I blocked it. The line in the bruise was made by my boot last night when I went again. No big accidents last night though.

Well, snow is still not a hit this year. Despite my efforts to play & engage with her (snowman, throwing snowballs, etc), she hated it. She just stood in this one position and would not move. She finally walked over to the patio door and tried to open it to go inside. I gave up after that!

Jadyn loves to help me in the kitchen. The only problem is that she wants to help every time! She is great at shredding lettuce, spreading (i.e. eating) cheese, and numerous other tasks. Okay, she mostly just eats what I am making--she has very quick fingers!

Yesterday while I was making chicken enchiladas, she bit into and ate a whole chicken tenderloin (I guess the small pieces I was giving her weren't enough), half a taco shell, a bunch of cheese, tomatoes, and carrots. No wonder she wasn't hungry an hour later at dinner!

Megan and I got to visit the Nauvoo temple while she was here. Debi met us and we had a good time. Just wish it didn't take 2 1/2 hours to get to any temple around here!

Don't the cousins look cute in their matching Reindeer PJ's?

Jadyn loved Papa and Namme Ann!
