Potty Trained!!

Mama got tough last Friday and decided it was time for my almost 2.5 year old to get out of diapers.  We started Friday morning at 8 am, put her in panties and pants...  she had 3 accidents in the morning.  Each time she would look down and say "ugh oh...oh no, .... oh no" and I would take her to the bathroom to use her potty and get cleaned up.  Then Friday afternoon she started doing good but it would take her forever sitting on the potty.  Saturday morning she had like 3 more accidents, but then come Saturday afternoon and thru today she has had zero accidents.  This includes her being in Sunday School for an hour and a half on Sunday morning; the ladies there said she told them she had to go potty and they took her and she went.  I am soooo proud of her for learning so quickly and so happy she is basically out of diapers.  I am still putting her in a Pull-Up during nap time just incase, and a diaper at night, but she will gradually get out of those as well.  Now the focus is on using that money we would've spent on diapers for Ky to purchase size 1 and 2 diapers for when the baby gets here. 

I've been looking around for a place for the kids that takes both babies and toddlers and dose like preschool activities with them, songs, art, learning, crafts, that kind of thing, and at the same place so we'd only have to make one stop in the morning and after work, and the places I have found...well yesterday the place I called quoted me 1250/month for both kids.  UGHhhhh hello, seriously???  And this was at a CHURCH, LOL.  Oh boy.  Other places have quoted me around the same, 1,000/month was another quote I got yesterday.  It is just insane.  So now I am really starting to think, and I'm considering possibly just staying home and doing like before and after school care for older kids, like age 4 and up, since we live within walking distance to a local elementary school.  I am just the type that if I were to stay home with my 2 kids, I need something else to do too, or I'm going to get bored.  I like kids, I think I'd enjoy doing the before and after school care thing, and this way it is some income but also gives my kids social interaction and me more of a schedule to my day - more purpose.  And not having an actual daycare, like where I'd be taking care of kids all day long gives me time to still run my errands and have 1:1 time with my kids without other kids around.  If I do stay home, I also plan to get Kyla registered for Preschool here starting in August.  So many decisions to make/planning to figure out, but that's OK.
