Week #6: Beginning of Week Recap and a Big Night for Mom and Dad!!!

Monday:  Arms with Lauren
Tuesday: 40 minutes on the treadmill and got to an incline at the 3.5 setting
Wednesday:  This is leg day - tomorrow!  I better get to bed.  I'm exhausted!!!

I've been eating well but it may because of the fact that my metabolism has kicked it up a notch or that I haven't had my patch on in awhile, but I am STARVED!!!  It's quite annoying.

As a side Mommy note....today is a BIG day!!!  Our daughter, Hailey, peed on the potty with her pull up on!!  We told her she just needs to sit on the potty for 10 seconds last week, then we started adding counts. Tonight, Brent got up to 100 and she was still there.  When I took her in right before bedtime, she sat on the potty with her pull up and asked me, "If I make a pee on the potty, will I get the gift on top of the refridgerator???  (a game I purchased 6 months ago."   I said, of course she would - not thinking that she would indeed pee.

Well, she peed on the potty!!! Then she smiled sweetly and said..."Now, can I get that game on top of the refridgerator??"  I said, "Absolutely!!!"  And she said, "Are you happy or sad?" because I think she saw I was about to cry (of happiness of course!!) and I said - "I'm so happy, sweety!  I am so proud of you!"

So, it was a big night of putting the batteries in her game and letting her play with it. She was even tracing the letters by herself with the game!!!  For most kids, this is a big "so what!"  For our kid who has struggled with self-esteem issues and has been in therapy for over 3 months now for sensory integration...it's a HUGE deal.  I'm just overcome with happiness and joy for her. And what's most important is that she is proud of herself!!
