The way things go....

We are in Savannah, Ga for the weekend and I'm so happy to have a few days to relax and enjoy myself with family! Beej's brother and sis in law are always so much fun, so generous and welcoming! I love visiting them and everytime we visit I wish we lived closer to them. Gianna loves them already, "Aunt Candi" and "Uncle Peaches"! They have been kind enough to offer to keep Gianna tomorrow evening so that Beej and I can go down to Riverstreet and eat dinner, shop around and just enjoy some time with each other! I'm very excited and very thankful!
So I have decided that the month of June will bring big changes to my routine with Gianna. We will taking away her sippy cup at night - she goes to bed with a full cup of juice or milk and I'm ready for that to be done with. Then I think it's time to move her into a "big girl" bed before we start trying to potty train. I am going to get rid of her crib and changing table and replace it with a toddler bed and dresser. I want to get new bedding and re decorate her room a little more 'grown up! And then the big step - potty training! I'm studying up on a "3 day" method of potty training. I know someone who is trying it now with her son - I hope they have great success and that we will follow in their footsteps in a few weeks time! I can't believe Gianna is getting so big, so fast! I guess I thought she'd be in her crib forever! Lol! But I think I'm ready for this! Or am I?

I had a great day today - fast paced and busy! Got up early and got GiBug and I ready to go to Greenville with my parents and siblings. They go there to shop at Whole Foods and Costco. It's a fun week day outing for Gianna and I. My parents are always super generous and buy us lunch. We usually go eat at Doc Chey's - yummy Thai food! We also went to Build-A-Bear for the first time and Gianna's "Janou" bought her one. Gianna has fun getting it stuffed and putting a heart in it and "washing" it. We named her Rubi. Gianna has alot of fun out and about, it wore her out though! She slept all the way home!
After we got home I fed her and then left her with Beej for the evening and I went to meet my "bestie" for dinner and some shopping. I love my best friend dearly and wouldn't know what to do without her! We are so different in so many things but some how that makes us even better friends. Our daughters are about 8 months apart - I'm so glad Gianna has a playmate and I have a dear friend! I can be so open and honest with her and I never feel like she judges me or doesn't like me because my opinion is different then hers. She understands where I am in life because she's right there too. We were both married right after highschool, had daughters around the same age, we're both supporting husbands who are pursuing their dreams and trying to be good, christian wives raising good, christian daughters!!! I love her dearly!!!
Tomorrow Beej and I are loading up the Jeep with Gianna, golf clubs, computers and clothes and heading down to Savannah, GA for a mini vaca! Beej's oldest brother, sis in law and niece live there and we are so looking forward to seeing them and spending a little time with them. Plus enjoying the sites and sounds of Old Town Savannah! I can't wait to spend the weekend relaxing and enjoying time with family!!! I'll have pictures to post when I get back of course!!!
We are starting potty training with Gianna next month. It has to be done! I'm tired of changing "big girl diapers"!!! I have heard, through some friends, about a 3 day potty training method and I plan to read up on that and kiss "di-pee's" bye bye in the month of June! It seems like such an overwhelming task! Lol! But I shall conquer it one way or another!
