The Joy’s of Potty Training & Spring Sports.

~ quirkymoms486

How are you feeling momma’s? Anyone else feel the busy season of life brewing up? For some reason whenever Spring comes along, the older my kids get the more I just feel straight up busy. Defiantly a good busy though because I am desperate for that warmer weather and sunshine!

I’m looking at my May calendar and thinking how there is not a free weekend in it. Baseball opening day, dance recital weekends, school plays, birthday’s, Friend gatherings.

My kids are currently 5 and 3 and one of my favorite things has been having them try sports to see what they like and don’t like. So far my 5 year old son is loving baseball and if you ask him what he wants to be when he grows up his answer is to play for the Detroit Tigers. He’s taking a real liking to learning how to play hockey as well which is exciting and he just told me the other day he also wants to practice golf with daddy this Summer plus he tells me all about his playground adventures of playing basketball with his friends.

To say we may have our hands full with this one…

My 3 year old daughter is currently in dance which is so adorable to watch but lately she has been kicking balls around and wanting to play soccer. We are taking the Summer off of dance and our area has a fun rec program for her age that teaches tball, soccer and basketball so I am thinking that will be her activity for the warmer weather. She’s also begging to get out on the ice like her brother.

I never was much of a sports player but my husband was and I can tell he is just thriving in the newly developed sports era the kids are growing into. Which good for him, I have absolutely no problem being the on the sidelines and bleacher mom just ready with snacks after the games.

Speaking of my 3 year old, I can’t believe we are going to be a pull up free house soon. I honestly could not see the day ever coming and although it is bittersweet I would be lying if I said I wasn’t also excited about it.

Potty training my son was rough, lots of crying both him and I and frustration so when it was time for round two with my daughter and she started to show the same “I’m not doing it” attitude I was so nervous.

But….she took to it well after the first few times and we are on a good track and my relief is HUGE.

For a reward for doing so well these couple of weeks her grandma spoiled her and took her to get her nails painted which she has been asking to go with her to a nail appointment for a while and they turned out so cute! Fingers crossed it stays a positive experience for us all.

I am wishing you mama’s all the luck to you that are in your busy sports mom era, potty training era, newborn era, just mom era in general. We are all in this together the excitement, the tiredness, the hard parts. You are defiantly not alone.

May your coffee stay strong and the sunshine stay shining!

  2. The potty training era was stressful. I tried at different ages. But at 3 I was successful. I now have a five year old and while some things are a lot easier , some things are definitely challenging still . Ah parenting

  5. Best times for potty training are outdoors but maybe not on the field or the dance studio.. lol. We have 2 toilets with the babies names on it. One loves being naked sitting for a minute and saying all done and flushing the other toilet or sitting on the real toilet. Bribes will be coming I see.. pretty in pink nails. đź’…

  9. I am subscribed so I’m not sure why your post won’t appear for me? Anyway, I remember these days… I thought when they are older it’ll slow day. Somehow it only got busier and more expensive! My daughter was in dance as well and I think I loved it more than her! I was not a dance mom at all. But I loved how this very controlled yet extremely fierce girl would get on the floor and she would just melted into something free and beautiful, so naturally. She is about to be 15 now and stopped dancing sadly. I wish she still was… don’t let your lil get weighed down by older girls and adults- they ruin everything. It’s supposed to bring joy. Anyway thank you for this post it brought me down memory lane on a perfect day. Mother’s Day!! And… Happy Mother’s Day to you !!
