Daydreaming of Spring

Daffodils, by Mark R Slaughter

I fell in love -

Taken by the innocence of

child-faced daffodils.

Their perky April fanfares -

Clarion calls from yellow-ochre brass bands

Presaging, rejoicing, calling us.

" Here we are! Here we are! "

Yesterday for Valentines Day Mike and I surprised Chloe with a little bag filled with sweet chocolates and gifts, she loved them! Hope everyone had a wonderful loved filled day as well.

This week we have officially begun potty training Chloe. We've had a bit of a rough start, but I am trying my best to remind myself that this is only the beginning and that this journey is going to take time and a lot of patience, love and respect. For all you Mama's out there who have gone through the potty training process or even if you are currently potting training your child what advice and tips do you have for me, I would absolutely love to read what your experience has been like!
