Terrible twos, poos and foos.

Ok, so Kaitlyn isn't quite 2 yet...4 months shy, in fact. But last night, I think we got a little taste of what "terrible twos" can really be like. It was by far the biggest, longest fit we have seen out of her. She was hitting and screaming and crying and pouting. Of course, her favorite word is "NO", especially last night. Oooh the joys :-)

A couple of nights ago she went pee pee in her big girl potty for a second time. For a while now she has been telling us when she goes poo (by saying "poo" and putting her hand on her butt". And now we think that to tell us she went pee, she says "foo" and puts her hand on the front of her diaper. Where she got "foo" from, I have no idea other than it sounds like poo only with one letter changed.

My maternity leave is quickly dwindling and I am getting sad and nervous about returning to work. It is just so hard to leave your baby for the first time, you know?! Unfortunately, we are not in a financial position for me to stay at home. Though, at least this time we aren't leaving the baby with somebody we barely know. Last time, we had met our day care provider and checked out her house and all, but we didn't really KNOW her. But now, Kaitlyn has been going there for 1.5 years and loves it. Brianna will join her soon, and hopefully she will grow to love it as she gets older, too.

Who knows, maybe we will win the lottery! Then I could stay home. We would play together, go on walks, go on play-dates...it would be great :-)
If only!
