So Proud

I'm down another 2 lbs from last week for a total of 29 lbs!!! That's so exciting and reenergizing. I was a little down this week because I didn't see the scale moving as much throughout the week, but today is the day that counts. I really do need to get to the gym since I haven't in a couple months and I know that would really boost my weight loss. I just feel guilty leaving Sami and missing out on putting her to bed since that's the only time that really works for us. That and the fact that once I get home from working all day, pick up Sami, feed her, cook a meal for Jason and I, clean up after dinner and do the dishes, the last thing I want to do it go workout... I just want to sit my ass on the couch. I guess I just need to change my way of thinking... I'm not taking anything away from Sami by going to the gym. Her father can put her to sleep and the time I put in now means I won't die from heart disease at a younger age which means in the long run, she'll have more time with me.

She's growing by leaps and bounds and it just blows my mind. Now I don't have a lot to compare to being that she's my first, but she is so smart for her age. She says so many words and even though we don't completely understand it always, she does piece together words as well. And a drumroll please....... Sami went pee-pee on the potty last night!!! Now she has been sawing for months that she wants to go potty, but once she gets in there, she just sits on the toilet and smiles. And 2 nights ago, Jason was with her when after removing her and putting her back on teh potty twice and after about 5-10 minutes, she tinkled a little. But last night was so different. She stood by the bathroom door and said potty, so I went in, took her diaper off, put her on the potty, I saw the determination in her face and then she tinkled right away. We clapped and said YA!! and praised her and she was so proud of herself. I think her favorite part besides playing with toilet paper and making sudsies after going potty (that's fun talk for washing her hands). She's not even 18 months, but yet she's doing so well. She loves reading books and even repeats so many words that we read. I'm beaming today!!!
