It's BLOGtastic!
It's been 2 weeks since my last post and a lot has happened!
As of today, Landrie is officially a card carrying, bonafide member of the Potty Club! She went to school today without any accidents and went on the school potty 3 times!! While that terrifies me from a public bathroom phobia standpoint, it is great news on the PT front.
Since she was such a big girl, I promised her that she could pick out Dora or Diego slippers at Target. What an adventure...as it usually is. Karsyn was sitting in the front of the buggy (a new thing for her) and Landrie was in the back. She was wearing super cute, fuschia suede clogs from Gymboree. I had her take one off to try on the Diego slippers she wanted, so for the remainder of the trip around Target, she had only one shoe on. We bought the slippers and a Halloween t-shirt for her and then were headed home.
I had already loaded a very sleepy Karsyn into her carseat, when I noticed that Landrie no longer had her shoes on. There was one in the buggy, but the other was nowhere to be found. I took Karsyn back out of the car, loaded her in the buggy one more time, and then we started retracing our steps through Target.
Customer Service hadn't seen the shoe nor had any of the other people on radios at Target. Believe me...I asked. I left my name at Customer Service and hoped that would call if they found it. I came home and began to stress on where I would find the replacment shoes, Gymboree was sold out, so my next guess was eBay. Luckily, Target called and they're holding her shoe for me.

Other news:

- She is eating cereal -- only when I feel like getting spit on.
I'll post pics later. It is well past my bedtime. Sorry!

I haven't killed her...yet
Some of you were worried that Landrie might not survive the whole PT thing. In fact, one friend wanted to take her home on Saturday fearing for her life. I guess I had that weary look, but it really hasn't been so bad. In the moment, it was TERRIBLE, but I'm proud of our progress.
Yesterday, only 1 accident to report. Today, 2 but that's not too bad considering it was her first day at school in Big Girl panties! I think we've made the turn and are headed toward the finish line.
Thanks for all of your encouragement!
PS: Karsyn started eating cereal tonight. Why do I torture myself so?? I'll post pictures of that later!

I'm on my 3rd pair of panties and its only 11 AM!
So when I posted about Landrie's birthday, I left out an important item. When I woke her up that morning, I told her that we were no longer wearing diapers. She was 3 now, so we didn't wear them anymore. She said OK and happily put on her panties.
We've had a few successes, but more failures. This is SO much work!! I'm still terrified that she will be 5 years old and still peeing and pooping on herself!!!
I've come to the conclusion that Karsyn will be potty trained before Landrie is.
I'm considering the bringing the "cage" back and making her play in there with her potty...ALL DAY LONG! No, you don't need to call CPS...it's not really a cage. Just the name that I affectionately gave it a long time ago--it's really a play yard that we used when Landrie was younger.
So, pray for my patience and pray for Landrie to PLEASE figure this thing out!!! I'm not giving up. We WILL NOT be buying diapers for her anymore...no matter what!

Happy Birthday Landrie!
Today marks the 3rd anniversary of one of the happiest and scariest days of my life. 3 years ago, on October 4, 2003, Landrie Nicole Kirk came into this world 7 pounds, 8 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long. Never before in my life had I experienced love like that.
After an uneventful pregnancy (despite ALL day sickness), I went in on October 3 to be induced. Things didn't progress like expected and at 3 o'clock on the 4th, the doctors were threatening to stop the pitocin and wait until the next day. By then, I just wanted to meet my little girl. Shortly after that, I was far enough along to get my epidural. Things moved quicker then, but the doctors were worried. Landrie was under stress and they had the NICU nurses waiting when she was born. 26 hours after I was induced, Landrie was born at 9:50 pm. Unfortunately, she was not breathing and was very limp. Thank goodness, the nurses were ready for her and after just a few minutes she was breathing on her own and doing much better.
It still scares me to think about that night, but I also mark that night as one of the happiest of my life. I have experienced more joy in the last 3 years than I ever thought possible.
Landrie is sweet, funny and smart. She has such joy in her heart. I am so thankful that God gave Lamar and I such wonderful baby girls.
Happy Birthday, Landrie! I can't wait to see what an amazing girl you're going to be. I love you!

Best Friends
Lamar has a 7th grade game tonight, so Landrie and I ate dinner together and then we had a girls night and played for a while.
I was getting the girls ready for bed and Landrie ran over to give me and Karsyn a group hug. While she was hugging us she said "Best Friends". I thought that was pretty darn cute, but then she added "One of our best friends is missing!" I asked who and she said "Daddy."
We did miss him tonight. I can wait for him to get home and hear about his sweet girls!

4 words
Brea tagged me for this meme. I'm supposed to write the first thing I think of when I see these 4 words.
1. notebook - I immediately think of the movie "The Notebook". Janelle and I love to watch it. She balls almost through the entire movie. Also it reminds me of my school supplies and pens which are my very favorite things. :)
2. portrait - Portrait Innovations. My favorite place to take the girls for their pictures.
3. glasses - Hmmm. I guess the funniest thing I can think of is Pops at Kyndra's wedding last week. He couldn't see his notes for the ceremony and it sounded like he couldn't read he was stumbling so bad. He finally asked Papa for his glasses. That got a big laugh from everyone.
4. thunderstorm - NAP. Maybe its because I'm desparate to take one, but thunderstorms are my favorite times for naps.
So...there you have it. If you choose to accept the challenge, your words are: baby, tree, summer and water. Leave me a comment if you're playing along!
