Rarely do I have a reason to be negative on my blog or complain about anything. This week has given me a reason to be frustrated. Brooklyn has ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS been a better than excellent little girl. In fact, I don't know what we did, but we have a pretty perfect daughter. She sleeps, eats, behaves, doesn't cry too much, plays well by herself, you get the point. And I have to say I am grateful for those things. You really can't get a better behaved daughter. Until this week, j/k but we have had a rough week and it is only Tuesday afternoon :(
She has been so very difficult for me and brought me to tears a few times this week. I blame that lameness on me being pregnant and overly emotional. We have had a HUGE set back in her potty training. Yesterday and today she has had a combined over 10 accidents. She has been in undies for a month now and has been fabulous. We were on the tail end of the potty training process. I don't know what has happened, but I am SOOOO very tired of doing laundry loads of undies and getting out the carpet spot remover. I know this is very normal in this awful process, but I am so over it!
Couple that with her very disobedient behavior and we have a big problem. She has also created this fake, ugly cry and squeal. She is also having some breakdowns that are so not like her. I guess she is turning two soon:( If she doesn't get what she wants she throws a fit and does that fake, nasty cry. I am over it!
So there you have it. You may get another rant from me in the future, but I am thankful this is my first one! I really do love her! I took the below pictures yesterday and today and they can't help but make me smile:)
Today Brooklyn was "supposed" to be napping. This last week she has tried just playing during her morning nap, which usually she asks for...not this week though. Anyway, I found her playing with her toys she miraculously got out of her changing table shelf, while in the crib! If you notice she has taken her pull up and pants off as well(another problem we are dealing with.) How cute is this though? She lined up all of her little toys and was counting them and smiling when I walked in.
She got in her little toddler bed all by herself, got under the covers and got a book. Now this is SUPER cute even though 5 minutes before she peed her pants. Thank goodness for her cuteness right after accidents.
Here she is with her adoring daddy. She had a shower earlier that day with me, but needed a night time bath because of all accidents yesterday and three of them were poop accidents in her undies. But look how cute she is? How could I stay mad? She always feels very sorry for her accidents and tries to clean them up. She will go and get the dish rag and try cleaning the floor, she puts her "nasty" as she calls them, undies in the dirty clothes, and tries to clean up the best she can.
She has also learned to be very bad in the stores. She refuses to sit in the shopping cart and throws MAJOR tantrums if she can't get out. This is a real problem because we are always out at the stores doing something. I get so embarrassed when she throws fits in public. Luckily they are not every time:)

Haha, that fake cry is so awful it is hilarious!!! I love the picture of her reading in bed. Too cute! I am CRAVING lettuce wraps and cant wait for Thursday!!!!! YUMMM:)
Just know that when she throws a tantrum in public, every mother feels your pain :)
She is a smarty! And she is approaching 2 -- and you are pregnant. That to me explains all to it.
The good news (if there is any! ha!) is that this too shall pass. It will. I promise!! Just hang in there and you will get your little sweetie back again. And the potty training stuff is all about 2 steps forward and one step back. Sigh.
Sorry about you frustrating week. I am having one of those too. Call me, I am dying to talk to you, I have tried to call your house but you don't answer. Your mom told me you don't. I guess I need to program you cell in mine.
Lindsay your amazing and a great mom and yes, being prego throws it all of of whack! It's funny Jaxs just barley got out of that stage. I think it helps having a little bro keeping him in check! I bet Brooklyn will be the same way!
So...ditto to what Rachel said. Whenever I hear a little one throwing a fit I totally feel their mother's pain!! Hoyt has started throwing little fits at Wal-Mart - and I hear you about being "over it!"
Girl, we're all with you!!
Sorry you have had such a hard week. Addy went through a similar phase right at the same age. And then about a month or two before two and since the meltdowns and really taken a decline. They still happen plently but not non stop about everything and everywhere like they did for awhile. It is so hard while pregnant too you just dont have patience. Sorry hang in there. Also when Addy started regressing with accidents I started giving her a treat every 30 min a praise each time her pants were dry. Just needed to remind her the goals we were going for. Its worth a shot. Brooklyn is a smart girl she will get back on track I am sure.
