All the regular days in between

So what's been going on in our normal, everyday life?

Elsie is fully potty-trained...and has been since day two of our potty-training experience. I don't know how to explain it except she AWESOME! No, really. She just totally got it. She was obviously ready. I guess that's what happens when you wait until your child is almost 3. Whatever the case, I'm so relieved and she's been loving it. She gets sticker everytime she goes, and used to get a gummy worm. Now she doesn't really care about the gummy worm. What a strange child! She definitely does not have a sweet tooth like her mom.

Aaron and I are enjoying being parents to Elsie so much right now. Not that we haven't always loved her, but she is SO MUCH FUN right now. I hope there is more of this to come because I don't want this to go away. We want her to stay this age forever! She says and does so many funny things...I wish I wrote them down more often. She loves to give hugs and kisses. She always is telling me "I love you, Mommy" or "I love you so much" (and when she says "so" it kinda sounds like "show"...ha ha.) She's the perfect little girl for our family.

I've been busy with Young Women's. I try to be a good, fun mom for Elsie. We play games and watch shows at night. We're reorganizing and rearranging our upstairs to create a little playroom for Elsie and her toys. I still go to the gym a lot, but it's not doing a whole lot of good right now. Darn holidays! Darn treats! Plus, does anyone else feel so lazy in the winter?! Aaron goes to work, but gets home as soon as possible. We love it when he gets home. I've been working on a few craft projects with some friends. I love crafting. I don't even care if it's helping them on their projects. It's so relaxing to me...therapeutic, I guess.

I feel like over the past few weeks I've had a lot on my mind, and I'm finally working through it all. I'm loving the Christmas season. I needed it!
