Have I mentioned lately how much I love Hailey\u2019s current age and stage? 18 months is filled with exploration, communication and lots of laughs.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been just rolling with things and enjoying where we are, but a few questions have come up along the way that have me truly realizing my sweet girl isn\u2019t a baby anymore, but is transforming into a true toddler\/little kid.<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s been on my mind? \u2026<\/p>\n

Potty training<\/strong>. I haven\u2019t read a lick about it, but I\u2019ve heard you can start considering it when your child understands they need a diaper change and can tell you. Well now Hailey has started to tell me \u2018diaper\u2019 (di-pah) when she needs a new one. So what next? Buy a book? Research potties? Oh dear, not sure I\u2019m ready for this\u2026<\/p>\n

The dentist<\/strong>. Hailey has a mouth full of chompers. I\u2019ve lost count. Her teeth brushing skills are probably not adequate, but is it really time to see a dentist? The idea of having to hold my busy child down in that chair gives me nightmares.<\/p>\n

\"DSC06024\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sleeping in a big girl bed<\/strong>. Actually, I have zero plans of switching anytime soon. I just heard someone talking about about it. When I got around to considering it, I just cracked up laughing at the thought. My wiggle worm definitely still needs the crib.<\/p>\n

\"2013-04-03<\/a><\/p>\n

Turning the car seat around<\/strong>. Then official recommendation is to wait until 2 years old. Hailey has never complained about be rear facing and does pretty well in the car, but recently her legs have seemed a bit cramped against the backseat. So what\u2019s the right move? Stick it out to 2? Or spin her around?<\/p>\n

Your feedback is welcome as I have yet to start looking into any of these questions seriously. I\u2019m just too busy collecting hugs, reading books and laughing at how much Hailey loves her shoes (shzzz).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
