Paint, plants and potties
It's the February half term break and life continues apace. Most exciting accomplishment of the weekend was finally hanging up the bike over the 'porch' area and getting out to my sadly neglected garden. It's not as hopeless as I feared. I spent an hour and a half and it was already looking better. The strawberries need thinning back and taming as they've colonised the brick paving and theneighbour's yard. The raised beds need weeding and clearing. The trellises need cleaning. If the rain holds off I may even try to get more of the posts and fences painted - that would be wonderful!
Our new kitchen comes in the first week of March so I've hired decorators to strip the old paper off the kitchen - mostly because it was hanging off the ceiling and the ceiling needed fixed! The guys came in today and started the refurbishment. It's going to look so good when it's done.
I have started potty training F. She's been telling me she wants to stay in nappies so we have just bitten the bullet and dressed her in knickers this week. Cold turkey! Still going to use diapers at night until we're really secure, but so far so good. She can recognise when she needs to go - hurray. Been hilarious reading about other moms' experiences online and commiserating!
As an added incentive to staying dry I've been letting her wear her princess dresses around the house. She's gutted when she's parted from them when they go in the wash.
Makes for some cute photo opportunities.
