  • two words… potty training!

    So I bought the training toilet, the pull ups and all I need now is some serious patience! Today was officially our first day of potty training. Speaking with my cousin who has a 4 year old made be very aware of how long this might take, then again she has a little boy and they say girls learn quicker. I’m curious to see if this is true. Exactly how long should it take? I’ve read you should start them at about 18- 24 months so I’m assuming she is ready now that she has just turned 2. I’m open to comments so if anyone out there has any advise please lay it on me!

  • Le Petite Youth Spa

    – Some may argue that young girls shouldn’t be going to spa’s but I think if you don’t go overboard with it, it’s perfectly fine. My 11 year old niece who is staying with us for part of the summer had mentioned that she wanted to go to a spa. Since she get’s straight A’s and is in gifted I thought it would be a nice thing to do for her before she left. The whole ambiance of the youth spa is very girly and luxurious. Almost everything is pink and fluffy! Very cute for a birthday party for little girls 4 and up.
