Thank you Lord for THY will and not "my" will

Yet, another milestone in the life of Gracie=Potty Training and drawing her first face. I love having this blog to look back at and see all the little things Gracie does along the way.

Today has been an extra easy day. Gracie woke up and wanted to start going to the potty. I wanted to wait till we moved but thought if she is ready then we will give this thing a try. Gracie has had 2 accidents, but understands that it was an accident and we keep trying. I did not want to put her in pull ups because they were too much like diapers. I'm thinking of only putting them on her at night. Right now, she is taking a nap and is wearing underwear :)

I teared up a bit with Stephen telling him how proud I was of her. She is growing up so fast and honestly, I love watching her change and grow into a little girl.

All along the way, I have not pushed Gracie into doing something she did not want to do- well except getting rid of the pacifier which was easier than I thought it would be. I think sometimes as parents we put to much stress on our kids to fit in with whatever the other kids are doing. I'm so thankful Gracie is a strong willed child because of the fact that when she does set her mind to do something- she does it and never looks back. She has never once told me she couldn't do something. She is always saying "I can do it, Mommy"... "I don't need your help"... My prayer for Gracie is that she continues to have a love for Jesus.. Her up beat attitude will do great things for the Lord one day. I know he has BIG plans for her. I'm so excited to see it!!

Here are a few pictures from today. She got to pick a prize from Dollar General and of course she picked makeup..hehehe :)

"Are you proud of me, Mama" love this baby girl

She put the lipgloss on her eyes as eyeshadow :)

In her Dora Panties!!

Little face Gracie drew for the first time :)




Until Next time,
