Every day with my little one is a new experience, and a reminder of how sweet and simple life really is. Even with yukky diapers.

"Always Eat Nuts" and other funnies!
So last night Eric and I were hanging out with Cassidy in her room. She was playing on her bed, explaining that she like to pretend it's a rocket ship. So Eric started asking her questions about her spaceship, and if she wanted to see some real astronauts and a real spaceshuttle, since the Discovery just landed. She said yes, and we kept talking. A little bit later she looked at Eric and said, "you be always eat nuts!" We were like, "What??" Cassidy is usually pretty clear with her sentances, and this one just didn't make sense. Eric started laughing all of a sudden and said, "OH... are you trying to say "astronauts"?!! " HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA! We both just started cracking up! I suppose astronauts could sound like "always eat nuts" to a 2 year old!! Sooo funny!
On another note: NO MORE DIAPERS!!!! About three weeks ago I had to work from home on both a friday and a monday, so I sort of had it in my head that it would be a good time for potty-learning boot camp! Well, wouldn't you know it, but that very morning Cassidy actually asked for her big girl undies! I couldn't believe it! So of course I said yes, and we never looked back. She has done amazingly well, totally rocked the potty learning! She had very few accidents over those four days, and continues to do really well. We still have the occasional accident, but I always make sure to let her know that it's no big deal, and we'll just try again. I think she's often a little surprised when she finds a poop in her undies!! Hasn't quite made the connection there yet, and of course pee is so immediate, there's no missing a wet leg!
We also went to the first annual Natural Parenting Retreat at Breitenbush, and met some wonderful people. I'm hoping to get Cassidy into a wonderful Waldorf preschool with some of her friends from the retreat. We'll see how that goes. Eric and I are in discussions now about what type of education she should have. I really love both the Living Wisdom and Waldorf schools, but he's of course concerned that with no grades, and no GPA she won't be able to get into colleges. I'm going to check on that issue, because of course i want her to have all the opportunities in the world, but public school is just out of the question. We'll see!
