At least someone is enjoying this weather!

Layla and Dave don't seem to mind that it is COLD in Iowa right now. I shouldn't complain as we started the week at 2 degrees and will reach 30 today. As always, the Handsaker house is busy. Layla has mostly mastered potty training although we are still using pull-ups at night. I'm just not brave enough for that one yet! As a first time mom who had never potty trained a child before, the first few days were frusterating. We just went right to big girl underpants and didn't look back. It was a little like house training a puppy for 3-4 days. Now that we're a month into it we seem to have it down and as I look back, she really did a great job. Layla is also getting very good at dressing, undressing, teeth and hair brushing by herself. We're down to 7 weeks of this pregnancy so I'm working on getting her to do more independently. Dave is also busy getting as much travel in now so he can take some time off the road when baby #2 arrives. As Layla and Dave seem to be speeding up, I'm slowing down! I'm not getting off the floor as quickly as I used to and my lap is getting smaller, much to Layla's dismay. I have a few small projects to get done this month and then March will be all about getting the babies room set up, clothes and toys out and all of that good stuff. Layla is so excited about the baby's arrival. We'll see if that excitement continues once she discovers the new baby will be living on her turf.........permenantly!
