Yay Poop!

Ya, not exactly the most exciting topic, though it does grab your attention. There are many things you miss when you travel away from home. Yesterday and today i recieved news about what I've missed at home. Ariel has had the fun and exciting experience of teaching Linzy to go potty. I say fun and exciting without any sarcasm, because, as I have said before, Linzy is super smart. This weekend before I left we had the potty chair out and linzy was enjoying sitting in it, she actually had me hold a book for he to look at while she sat there, she had her clothes on, but we were just getting her used to sitting on the chair.

See, recently Linzy has been telling us when she goes to the bathroom in her diaper, so we figured it was time. Then yesterday, Ariel had put her on the potty a couple times and said "Linzy go potty," and Linzy would sit there until she went. (voluntarily) Once she was done, she would stand up and say peepee and point at it. Ariel and her mom would clap and congradulate her.

Today, Linzy sat on the potty and didn't manage to go peepee, but she did 10 minutes later in the diaper. The exciting part is that Linzy went poopy today(i have to say poopy, you'll figure out why when your little ones get potty trained) Ariel noticed that Linzy was getting that 'concentrating' look on her face and so she quickly got the potty for her. When Linzy finished she looked at it and said "eewww" Ariel and her mom clapped for her though, encouraged her sayng she was a big girl now.

So Yay Poop!

I miss all the fun...

Training

March is my big training month for work. When I started this job, fall training was already underway and they couldn't get me signed in for training in time. So, they had me sign up for spring classes and until this time I was reading up on the codes and learning on the job. Last week I spent 3 days in Frankfort, ky for Pool training, which btw Ariel doesn't like , me being away from her for. This coming week I will be in Lexington for Soils Training and the next week I will be in Frankfort again, this time for Onsite Sewage training. After that, I have a few weeks before my next training session. Hopefully by some time in June I can take my RS exam for this job.

Linzy has become a monkey overnight. She has started climbing into and onto everything and today she walked almost a block out in this nice warm windy day before needing to be carried. When I come in after work, I'll grab a yogurt out of the fridge and she'll sit in my lap, and we will split it while we sit and watch tv. Afterwards, she'll climb down, by herself, walk over and get a book, and then climb back up into my lap. She'll do either this or play with her many toys for the rest of the night before I put her to bed before I leave for my apartment. I'm the only one it seems that can effectively put her to bed. Not sure why, but when Ariel tries to put her to bed, she just stands in her bed and laughes at her.

Ariel is on her spring break this coming week and has decided to travel to her cousin's down in Nashville for most of the week with her sister and Linzy. Which is good, because last week she wasn't too happy about me being out of town to training.

That's all for now... except that at the end of April/beginning of May, I will be switching apartments to save a little more money.
