New Year's Resolutions

























There are a couple of things that I want to try and accomplish in the new year..........

1. I would really like to get some exercise (for the health benefit and because I will be in wedding pictures in August.....a dual motivation). I've thought about joining the gym because I think that I would actually enjoy that "me" time. However, I don't want to take the girls to the gym daycare (I'm not very confident in the logistics of gym daycare) and going after Kevin gets home is not the best option. From 4pm to 8pm is the busiest part of my day, so to leave Kevin with that on his own seems pretty unfair! So.............I've tried to get out and do some walking. Chloe LOVES to go out on a walk and will turn out to be good accountability for me I think! On the other hand, Claire needs some persuading before she decides that she loves our walks. If the weather conditions are agreeable, she usually obliges without much fuss. This picture was of one day when we got out and went walking and Kevin was with us.

2. The other big item on our "To Do List" is to get Chloe potty-trained. I know that she can do it.....it's just a matter of her deciding that she wants to. So......we are poised and ready......waiting for the day when she wakes up and decides to make diapers a thing of her past! We offer the potty on a regular basis and she sometimes takes us up on it........all of this being the beginning stages of her adjusting to going potty! To be continued.......................

Good luck with the potty training!! We are still working on it with Lucy - my girls take forever to potty train!

After Lucy was born, I joined a gym - which I LOVED!! I would go in the morning about 5:45. It was really hard at first, but I came to enjoy the "me" time so much that it just became routine. Now I am already anxious to get back into working out as soon as I am able!
