Night Frights
Ever since we brought Glade home from the NICU, she has had night frights, sometimes multiple times each night.
When I was nursing, they were easy to remedy. She would eat and fall right back to sleep. After I weaned, she still had her binky until she was 17 months, so she would suck on it and fall right back to sleep.
Ever since we cut her binkies up, it has been all sorts of awful.
She would wake up scared to death and sometimes it would take 3 hours to calm her down and get her to go back to sleep. It happened more if she was at someone else's house and not in her bed.
Ever since I was laid off in July, they have been getting fewer and farther between. She had a couple about 3 weeks ago, but we hadn't seen them since. We thought we finally had it beaten.
Today, during her nap, she woke up and was absolutely terrified. She kept screaming "mommy don't" and then she would cry for me. Blake ran and picked her up and she kept crying, so I took her and cradled her.
After a few minutes she calmed down and went back to sleep.
Maybe me being home has helped, but I am so scared that me working is what caused her frights. I wish there was some way to make it so she doesn't have any. Most days she is so scared of going to sleep that she stays awake as long as she can and then crashes from exhaustion.
And just because I know the question will be asked, no she doesn't watch rated R movies or rated M games. We don't play or watch them in front of her.
If there are any pointers we could use to help, that would be great.

Glade and Yoshi
I just had to post this - Glade is pretending Yoshi is her baby, and he loves it! He purrs and falls right to sleep. You'd think he is a baby or something ;)

We did it!!
It has been a long 2 weeks haha.
I was fired, so we decided that since I was going to be home for a bit, we would finally buckle down and potty train Glade.
She took to it like a duck to water... for a few days. And then she forgot everything and peed all over everything in our apartment. It was great.
So, we started from square one. We bought her skittles, and every time she would go potty, she would get a handful of skittles. She caught on SUPER fast.
And I am pleased to say that in the last 48 hours, we have had one accident, but we are officially potty trained and in "big girl panties"!!!
I didn't read any books or anything, I just had her tell me when she needed to go and we would go.
Our first big test was today. We were in Walmart and I was worried she wasn't going to tell me that she needed to go. We were checking out, and she ran to the bathroom, pointed and said "peepee". So we went in, she went potty and I was SOOOOO excited.
So, no more diapers for us!!

Oh, how time flies!
I have really been sucking with my posts lately... well, this will make up for the last few months.
To start off, in May, for Memorial day, Glade went and spent the weekend with my parents. She had a BLAST! She definitely wasn't happy to be home..
Well, the next weekend, she went up North with Blake's parents. She had tons of fun at the wedding and reception, plus she got to see her Teagan. And she was even less happy to be home from that... she was so spoiled she wouldn't walk from the couch to the fridge 5 feet away lol.
Two weeks later, Rachelle went to Moab and almost had to cancel, but I so *awesomely* volunteered to watch Teagan. Pam and Ray were driving down through to Cali on Thursday, so they brought Teagan with them.
Him and Glade had TONS of fun. Thursday was the Summer Games opening, and Blake had to work, so I walked him and Glade over to Brenda's and hung out with them all day haha. We walked around, made a mess out of their apartment, they fed me, and we got to watch the fireworks from right across the street from where they are. They were SUPER loud.
Then, this last weekend, we had Glade's second birthday party. She won't turn two till tomorrow, but my cousin is having his wedding tomorrow, so last weekend was the perfect time. We had it at my parent's house, and had an absolute blast! Their house and yard look awesome, and everyone had a great time.
After the party, everyone but us, my parents and brother, and Darryl, Rachelle, and Teagan went home. We all decided to stay the weekend and go hiking on Sunday. Saturday evening we listened to my mom play her Accordian, and then we played Crocket (sp??) in their backyard, which was definitely an experience haha.
Sunday, we went hiking in Bryce and then went to dinner at the Pines. It was TONS of fun!!
I know this is kind of a summary of a post, but it has caught you up haha. I am going to get pictures soon to post, so I will post them when I get them!!

Much Awaited Pictures
It's been a crazy few months, with little posts on here.
This will be mainly pictures.
We got a new family member, Yoshi. We were walking on Main Street and found him discarded in a box. He is maybe 4 weeks old and we have to bottle feed him, but he is absolutely adorable.
Him and Glade are fast friends, if she would quit picking him up by the neck
A few weekends ago, we watched Teagan while Darryl worked and Rachelle was in Moab. It was an interesting weekend with two toddlers haha. Definitely kept us running around.
I forgot his jacket at the house when we went to the Summer Games, so we got one of Glades. It was too funny not to take a picture of.
Aren't they cute?
Eating Churros
We only have one stroller, and he fell asleep on the way to the Festival while Glade rode in the basket underneath haha
The beginning of June, Curt and Reita came through and took Glade for the weekend. She had a LOT of fun.
Riding the scooter with Uncle Darryl and Aunt Rachelle
Riding the lawn mower with Uncle Darryl
She's too cute
This was too cute not to post
Covered with Root Beer... as always
He was not pleased his parents left him. He got calmed down pretty quick though
