So Thankful

This is a very busy time of year, both for myself at work and for N on the farm.

The firm that I work for has several audits that need to be completed, then into T4 season and then on to personal taxes. I find the audits the hardest because there is a lot of travelling out of the office. Our routine falls to pieces because I usually have to leave earlier than normal and come back later. The work is also more mentally tiring.

N has been busy hauling grain so he is putting in a lot of ours as well. They've had issues with all the snow and some equipment. It has been slow going to say the least.

Finally getting to the point of my post.

I am extremely thankful that we live close to both our parents. They are very supporting of both our careers. They help us out so much. I don't think they will ever understand how much we appreciate them! Both our moms have flexible schedules and are available to watch K when it just doesn't make sense to send her to the day home. Not only are they there for K but they are also there whenever we need help with something, whether it's painting, a sewing project or stockpiling the freezer for busy season.

I simply cannot express how much I love our families!!!!

Potty training update!

It's been a couple weeks since I took a week off work to potty train K. She did wonderfully that week and has continued on the same path! She has only been to her day home for one week then I went on the audit trail so she's been spending the day with Grandma. That first week at the day home went well. I think she had two accidents the entire week. Our day home provider has her hands full with two new one year olds so I knew that K would have to be patient while everyone learns and adjusts to each other. We were in my hometown all weekend last weekend watching some curling and my mom was so impressed that K never slipped up. She would ask to go to the washroom everywhere we went. She did have an accident on Sunday during her nap but that was more my fault about not communicating with my mom (who was taking her home for a nap) about the last time she went. Fortunately that was her last accident, although we still use a diaper at night. K asked a couple nights ago to wear underwear to bed but it didn't go well. We'll wait a bit.

I am so so so so so proud of my little girl!
