South Carolina

We have been living is South Carolina for about 3 weeks now and absolutely love this green, green state. Oakley was such a big girl on the way here she didn't really cry and every time we made a stop we put her on the potty and she would go. We stopped in Nauvoo as you can see two post earlier. When we arrived in SC we where blown away with all the green forest and wild flowers.

The move has turned our little baby girl into a big girl it seems. She is now in a twin bed, goodbye crib. I was completely terrified of this change but she is amazing. It only took me shutting her door 3 times for about a minute a piece for her to stay in her bed and not get out. She is out of diapers, cold turkey and doing well at that too. That is as long as I'm constantly on her and putting her on the potty every hour. She is so funny she will only tell me she has to go potty if she wants a treat, in underwear not pull ups, we are at a store or she's teasing me. The next thing to change will be the stinking bottle,I hate that thing! She only gets it when she goes to bed or down for a nap but I feel that slows down potty training at night. So I'm trying to replace the bottle with reading books but for now she still wants both. Her all time favorite book is Froggy Green and she has parts of it memorized so she loves reading it to me. This move has been a great time to help our little girl grow up even though I wish I could keep her my tinny baby forever! I love watching her learn and be able to do new things. She is such a joy in my life and makes me laugh every day. I love being a mom more than anything else in this world.
