I'm BAAAAAACK

After a brief potty training hiatus, I've returned to my blogging glory. Potty training is serious business (ha ha).   I feel like this time around, it took forever. Gavin had the potty thing down in a weekend. Teagan, not so much. She would rather play, thank you very much. So, after what feels like a full year of trying (and backing off), we have another member of the ever elite, panty wearing club. THANK GOD. Pull ups are expensive. She took her sweet time and I have to admit, there's a little pang of sadness with this latest accomplishment. She really isn't my sweet little baby anymore. We've stepped out of toddler-hood and raced full force into our preschool years. She's growing up way too fast. I feel like we strolled leisurely through baby-dom and toddler-hood with Gavin. It flew by with Teagan.

On the bright side,  Teagan discovered Tyler-bunnies today. What's a Tyler bunny? Years ago, Fisher Price made these little bunnies with a pocket for your hand in their head, flannel blanket bodies & satin trimming. I loved them. I'm pretty sure I had one in every color. Anyway, they were given to my older sister when she was a baby by my father's good friend Tyler (this big old harley riding guy). She never had interest in them. I however, loved them. They went everywhere with me. I sucked my thumb and rubbed their satin edging against my nose. I LOVED them.  We lost a few along the way (one fell victim to the golden retriever) and some were probably so ratty my mother threw them out. At any rate, Fisher Price discontinued them forever ago. My mother sent every able body on a mission for them. I kept 3 of them for someday, when I had kids of my own. Gavin never had any interest in them, he loved his Blue too much for that. Teagan had no interest what-so-ever. Until today. She's been carrying them everywhere with her. Gavin put them away and she cried. I'm over joyed. I'm so glad something I loved so much is getting loved again. Maybe she can pass them on to her kids someday.

I'll look through Mom's pictures and post them. I'm not even sure what to google them under since Tyler bunnies are NOT the official name.
