The Musings & Happenings of a Single Mompreneur
It’s been a while (it seems) since I have posted anything new on here. I’ve been pretty busy trying to get my new ItWorks business going. But, above all, I have been busy with Christian and Keiko. In case you didn’t notice — parenting is a full-time job. Which brings me to the point of this particular post — my decision to work from home.
Everyone has their own opinion.
Favorites Questions
What was your favorite food when you were a child?
Ummm…I’m not sure. I could more easily answer what my least favorite food was. Bananas, oatmeal, overcooked noodles, jello. Ick ick ick! I have a thing about texture. I do remember my favorite meals at school, though. For breakfast I loved the fruits sticks and for lunch I loved the dinosaur nuggets with macaroni. They were like a toy and food at the same time.
So…I am officially potty training Christian. Of course I introduced him to the potty ages ago, and I try to sit him on it whenever I notice he has his peepee or poopoo face. But now I am using the “let him run around naked and put him on the potty every 20-30 minutes. We have his cool “Cars” potty in the living room and his plain potty in the bathroom. This is a diary of how our day went.

This is something I have to keep in my heart at all times. I don’t think it is saying that your child will be exactly as you are. But they watch us and learn from us. They pick up on our habits and behaviors. SO it’s up to us to be good role models for them.
There are so many quotes that send out this same message:
