Two weeks later and we’re not so strict on the paleo diet. Hubs is more so, but my hormones started wreaking havoc on me due to the sudden banishment of starches. I decided to incorporate oats and rice back into my diet for the time being. Off to Walmart for the good rice! It’s work the extra price. If you just eat Uncle Ben’s and the like you have no idea! Get a rice cooker, throw in some coconut milk, and use this rice cooker tip. You’ll never view rice the same way again!

We started potty training today! Sweet T will use this Fisher-Price Royal Stepstool Pottyto help her along the way. So far she can pull her panties down, tinkle, and pull them back up (though a little crooked
). she knows when she makes the potty play music she gets a sticker.

Greetings from Bumbo Land! Gus doesn’t like the Bumboquite as much as Sweet T did, but he’s still a fan. Particularly if I’m playing Baby Faith
for him. Yes I realize that old Bumbos have been recalled. My friend Tenille wrote a great post about the Bumbo recall and I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Sweet T lined her crayons up and I couldn’t resist photographing her little perfectionist/OCD tendencies.

You can find free character potty charts by following the link. Sweet T hasn’t learned to empty her bladder every time she sits down so she fills up a sheet every day! Minnie and Elmo are on her bedroom wall as a reminder of her accomplishments. We’re working on filling up Daisy now.

I have a sweet tea taster. Fitting don’t you think? Click for my Icy Spicy Fruit Tea recipe in case you missed it yesterday.

We took advantage of a day in the high 50′s to play at the park.














Your kiddos are beautiful! I love your pictures!
It looks like another fun week!
I don’t think I could live without carbs in my diet. Well technically, I could, but not without being uber grumpy. Good luck with the potty training!
She is such a stunner, she looks great in color and in black and white
Your daughter is beautiful!
Looks like a great week.
I grew up eating the Botan rice and have tasty memories of it
yay on potty training!!! Hope Sweet T gets it down asap for you
I love the straw picture!
What a gorgeous little girl!
Your kiddos are just too precious!!!
I am doing the Paleo diet.. sorta. lol My Doctor told me to start eating some carbs that it would help with my hormones and as my husband puts it, my “hostility” towards him. lol He also used the word, “combattive,” to describe me to my doctor! She told me I need to do what works for me and if it is not strict one way or another, I will be okay. lol Good Luck!
Your childrens photos are so pretty! They are getting so big! =)
I love bumbo pictures! I have some really cute ones of my kidlets too! Great shots!

Sweet T drinking sweet tea, could anything be more perfect? Love your little family!
My 3yo lines everything up. I think with her its more OCD than it is perfectionism. She gets it from her daddy.
Your kids are so precious!
Love the crayons and the last two beautiful!
Cooking rice with coconut oil sounds good.
Looks like a great week & some lovely shots.
