We love panties.

Little Miss Presley Ann is...
POTTY TRAINED!
         I really wish I could take credit for this feat, but I can't... She did it all on her own

Okay, She may have had a little Nudge from me... Monday morning I was getting her out of her diaper and thought to myself, I wonder what would happen if I just didn't put a diaper back on.... So, I told her, "Presley you don't have a diaper on, so if you pee, it's going to go all over your leg and the kids at daycare will laugh and say you stink." -I know I'm a great mom. I say wonderful things to my child. So about 5 minutes later, she came running in the bathroom, jumped on the potty and tinkled! 

I was shocked, literally. Stunned. Then of course, there was a 5 minute series of clapping and high fives, pound-its, and whooping. She has since been pretty good about it, today she only had one "opps!" and that's it, so the process isn't finalized. It is closer than it has ever been though, and I'm way more excited about excreting bladders and B.M's than I ever thought I would be!

ahhhh... the joy's of motherhood!

This little lady is not only wearing panties, but she's also cracking jokes left and right. I laugh more at her than I do anyone. So here are a my two favorites from today...

  • 8 AM: Me: Presley, we need to find your shoes.
                Presley: Mom. (sigh) Don't talk to me!
                Me: What!? Why can't I talk to you?
                Presley: Cause, I got a headache, I need my coffee
    She then tried to convince me she was wearing Ice Skates instead of shoes today. Her "Ice Skates" were... her "Dora phone" under one foot, and her "Barbie phone" under the other...?
    She has recently developed a fetish with ice-skating-thanks 2010 Olympics.
  • 5 PM: Presley: Guess what mom....
               Me: What pres?
               Presley: (points out the window) I climbed that mountain.
    She said it like such a bad ass too, like some guy in a Ed Hardy shirt, bragging about how much he just bench pressed. 
The coffee thing killed me, because I suddenly realized I say this to her probably every morning. Whenever she starts to whine or the, "mom. mom. moooo-om." routine, I say, "Presley, don't start. Mom's got a headache and she needs her coffee before all of that begins."Once again, I say great things to my daughter... Parenting 101. I should probably write a book on it.


okay, quick catch up on the last post. I ended up having 4 days to find a new salon... 4... Valhalla didn't seem like the right choice, so I am now at Beyond Hair. I love it so far. It's been slightly stressful trying to contact all of my clients and let them know where I am. As well as tell the same story 60 (literally 60) times. Other than that, it's great! I am even starting a little shop/business, call it what you will, inside of the salon, called 
 
... I realize I need to clean up the logo a little bit, but it's a start! I'm so excited! 

Good Night!
