Dustin suggested that {i} use up {his} free plane ticket and go see my girlfriends in Austin this weekend, and who am I to oblige..... I need a break from the chaos of two children and these dreadfully long days with the hubs back in school! Elle is accompanying me for our girls weekend of pedicures, sushi dinners, relaxing on the porch with two of my dearest friends & getting a few sweet days away, just the two of us! We leave tomorrow! Although i will miss my toddler-bumble bee butt, I really couldn't be more thrilled for our ladies only adventure. AND to top it all off, Dustin is implementing his wee-wee's only, Daddy-potty training weekend-boot camp-pee-pee in the potty (or in a bush like a real man) weekend with Conrad. (Dustin has WAY more patience than I do, so I'm glad that he's ready to train the little guy.) I'm leaving him with a few of my pearls of wisdom from my potty training days as a nanny, but I know he will rock the potty training! Conrad's got his uber cool big boy undies and I think he's ready now too.....

Texas here we come!
Have fun girly!!! Wishing Dustin all of the luck in the world!
ReplyDeleteright on girl!! how awesome that dustin is going to do the potty training boot camp with your little man! :) And you deserve every minute of that mommy-daughter getaway!! how fun to spend time with old girlfriends :) Have fun!
ReplyDeleteYay! This could be the beginning of a Mommy-Elle vacation tradition! And as for potty training, my secret weapon turned out to be having exactly the right potty. Westley asked for a potty "with a lid" and when I found one, he was more than happy to use it.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome hubby!!! I love the potty training bootcamp, I was laughing out loud reading that.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a rad time in my wonderful state, Chelsea!
ReplyDeleteYAY! Have so so so much fun! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Wish my almost 3 year old was potty trained already!
ReplyDeletegoodness your babies are so sweet!! how good it is to get away for a bit with your little girl to hang with the girls. there's nothing like a girl trip. the best trip i ever had was with my sister and 2 of my friends to NYC for a week. i hope you have a fantastic and restful time!!!!!

first of all Elle is absolutely edible !! I am super jealous of your girl time that is coming up. I havent seen nor heard of that since Jude was born. For us...potty training was a cycle. I potty trained Jude early this year and then he got sick a month later and it flew out the door. So about six weeks ago I said "ok Jude...today you are wearing big boy undies all day and nothing else" It took two days...2 accidents in the big boy undies and shazamm. He is done Praise God !
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time! There's nothing like a girl's weekend to get you refreshed and recharged.
ReplyDeletePRECIOUS!! Catching up on your blog, right now! She is beautiful!! And Conrad is still as sweet as ever. The big brother title looks good on him. :) Love you little family!
ReplyDeleteLook at those two precious little beans! Hope you enjoyed (or are enjoying) Texas little miss! Love you so much Chels. So proud of Conrad!
