IF YOU ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF RAISING CHILDREN, BE AWARE. THE TINY FINGERPRINTS THAT SHOW UP ON ALMOST EVERY NEWLY CLEANED SURFACE, THE TOYS SCATTERED AROUND THE HOUSE, THE PILES AND PILES OF LAUNDRY LYING AROUND TO BE TACKLED, WILL DISAPPEAR ALL TOO SOON. AND, YOU WILL, TO YOUR SURPRISE, MISS THEM PROFOUNDLY. THOMAS S. MONSON

Sooooo... HILARIOUS!

So this last week has been OVERWHELMING! As a mother, as a wife, as a friend, and as me... Kirstynn Evans! YIKES! Having a husband that is extremely up to his eyeballs in his work (this is his last week at work in Michigan) he has little to no time to work on the "honey do" lists, and even less time to spend with the fam. The best part about this move is, it is soon going to be over. I feel that I can handle two more weeks of stress. I am sure that when we get there, we will still be stressed for a little bit, but it will be a refreshing type of stress.

We have also hit HUGE milestones with the toddler. We are about 50% potty trained. We can leave the house in panties. We can hold it when we have to go, but aren't close to a potty. We still wear a diaper at bedtime, and we always need to tell mommy when we have to go potty. We can't do it alone yet. (Probabally not the right time to talk in 1st person... when I say "we" I mean NORA) So the potty train has taken off, and the trip should be over soon. We also took away the binky. I didn't think it would be as heart wrenching as it was... or is... I really believe that I have one of the "Happiest Kids on the Block". It takes very little to make her happy, and she oozes cheer and happieness. That is until that stinkin fairy "Tinkerbell" showed up and stole Noras best silacone friend! The first night has been the easiest. We told her that Mulan was having a baby, and the Tink took her binky for Mulans baby. She was not good with it, but wasn't too bad. Then the next day, she asked for the bink all day. I told her it was gone, to Mulans baby. So then we watched crying babies on youtube. And talked about how they need binkies to be happy, and Nora needs treats to be happy. LOTS of treats that day. That night... she was in her room, kicking walls, screaming, tearing her clothes off, tore her diaper off, acted like a monster. I didn't know my little muffin was even capable of such destruction! This went on for 4 hours, then she gave in, and fell asleep. Today, everyone she meets, she tells them, "Tink-a-bell took my bibi, for the blue baby." Hopefully tonight is better then last night?

I'm really bored with this post... not good... I think I am at that stage where I talk baby talk all day, that at the end of the day, it takes me a minute to get into grown up talk. I do have some pictures to post soon, and more NOra talk. More moving talk, and all that great stuff. Now, I just need to sit. Not talk, not listen, not even process! Talk about random, and rediculous! Ahhhh...

If she does, you could just give it back. This stressful time for your family may not be the best time to get rid of bink. Best wishes...
