fun day, exhausting life :)

I had it planned to go to the zoo today, then C tells me yesterday he has to work tonight and Fri night instead of days- and he keeps swearing this night job is ALMOST done! After much nonchalant noncaring on my part, he decided on his on accord to join us. I will tell you AM has been asking if Daddy is going to the zoo with us everytime we've gone for like the past year and a half, or whenever she could talk. So he joins us and we had lots of fun together, I was so happy for AM.
Yesterday my mom came down and we showed her the new house, which they had a ton of stuff done, and it was gorgeous! Love it! It will be done sooo soon, and I swear I will not even know what to do with that huge house?!?! Ahhh love it.
If anyone who reads this has advice on the potty for little ones- please comment. AM has been going to the bathroom on the toilet for months and months. She had some accidents on vacation in Aug where I chalked it up to having too much fun with her cousins to stop playing. Then she's been good-even not having accidents in pullups over night. It seemed if she had to go at all, she woke me up and went on the toilet. In the past week she has had a ton of accidents, daytime, nightime pullup pees and also including 2 poos!? What? That has Never happened. So what is it? Is it because we used to always help her everytime and lately we have told her she's got to practice all by herself b/c that's what they have to do at preschool- all by herself. Is she nervous? Is she feeling pressured? I've tried to be more patient but also let her know it's disappointing and we need to really focus on going on the potty and all the time. Preschool is only 2 1/2hrs, so in all reality she shouldn't have to go much if she goes before she leaves. However, she goes thru phases of going like 10 times in an hour. Usually not in the morning, so hopefully we're good for preschool. I think it's more afternoon and evening after she's had lots of water throughout the day. We'll see...I'm just nervous. So she probably is too...

A lot of times when there is stress around them (moving, new house, new school, etc... you don't have any of this going on, do you?? haha) they can revert. Every thing I have ever read says to try not to make a huge deal. Buy a box of pull-ups and move backwards a bit. Start asking her if she has to go potty more and just don't make a huge deal out of it.
