A little of this and that...

We have been busy, this winter, but nothing really noteworthy to rave about.  

A little bit of skiing...

A little bit of silly straws...

A little bit of potty training...  (Klara did great!  We did one day of focused training -  and then went from there.)  
Here are some of my facebook posts during the thick of things: 

Such a big girl!

February 26:  Potty training my baby girl today. Must stay strong..must have patience!

 Update! after three accidents. we have been 3 times pee in potty... and one time poop!! we are getting there. February 26 at 2:28pm 

We finished the big day with 4 accidents and four pees and one poop in the potty...and dry underwear for the last 2 1/2 hrs of the day. One tired but happy little girl...and one exhausted mom. Following an energetic toddler around every minute is hard! Hope each day from here gets a little easier! February 26 at 8:10pm

Day 2 update! in the midst of the day i was so crazy trying to figure out what to do about a child who is sitting on the potty and obviously has to go but fights it...for hours! But at the end of the day...drum roll....zero accidents, all pee and poop in the potty, plus a dry naptime! Feels like a fluke, so we will find out how tomorrow goes. Yay for my baby!

 We are now almost two weeks into it.  No pee accidents, but we are having trouble with Klara telling us in time when she has to poop.  If we get her on the potty at the right time, all is well!  It will come.  Overall, Klara has done amazing!

And Finally - A little bit of surgery... I got the screws out of my foot, since they were hindering my recovery. I had to be tough to save some money.  Awake during the surgery, with a numbed up foot!  It hurt to get it numb, but then it was kinda cool.  I decided to watch!
