2. Potty Training Break.

    Last week we started potty training Eislee. The first two days were amazing. She kept pooping on the potty and leaving her diapers dry, it was great. It seems though that as each day went on it got harder and harder to get her to go on the potty. That past two days have been the worst. It’s like she is just waiting for us to put a diaper back on and she holds it until we do so. 

    Meanwhile naps have been disappearing. She’s only napped two days this last week and was a miss cranky pants every evening she didn’t get a nap. All this to say, Brian and I are a bit exhausted from this last week (I also ran my first 5k, which I will blog about soon) and so is Eislee. We are taking a Potty Break. Which I believe there is nothing wrong with, we’re starting early so its aloud :) . We know potty training isn’t easy, not for everyone at least. We will come back to it in a couple weeks :)

    I’ll update when we get back on the potty training. 

    Happy Memorial Day by the way :) Hope you all are having a relaxing day.

  3.   

     Here I am back to blog after way to long. I’m not going to say “Where should I begin?” because I don’t have an answer, I’m just going for it. In the past 6 months I probably have thought about blogging at at least once a week, but a lot has changed for The DosterLove family. A few weeks after my last post, we moved out of our little house, back to our hometown and in with my in-laws. We have begun a new journey together. Although it is just Brian (my hubby) going back to school, I am ready and prepared to fully support him as he pursues his education to become and RN. I am honestly really excited for him, and for our future. I know the Lord has great things in store for us. Meanwhile our little peanut, not so little anymore, it growing up so fast. 19months already!! & I am enjoying motherhood, and all there is to learn as a mother. I am beyond blessed with the gift of being a mother. Now that Eislee is a toddler, in my opinion things have only gotten easier. There are tough days but I seem to remember the good days more then the bad, and we were blessed with a very good/easy-going girl!! So i get to enjoy a full night sleep at least 3/4 of each month, and nap times are great, I get to nap, be crafty, or just clean in peace everyday for at least an hour hahaaa. 

    I am on this huge instagram kick, so inspired by a bunch of Mammas snapping photos of their kiddos every moment! I’ve got a long list of fun things I want to do with Brian and Eislee this summer and hope to continue blogging and sharing it with you as we go! I am sorry if this post is a bit of a bore. I’ve realized I am a bit rusty but am really excited to blog again and see where this season of it takes us!

  5. Great is Thy faithfulness, oh God my Father;
    There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
    Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
    As Thou hast been, Thou forever wilt be.

    Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
    Morning by morning new mercies I see.
    All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
    Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

    Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
    Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above
    Join with all nature in manifold witness
    to Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

    Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
    Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
    Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
    Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

  8. DosterShop

      I have finally joined the fun on Etsy! I am constantly finding the most adorable pieces of baby & children’s clothing and have come up with quite a collection! They’re fun to gift and dress up Eislee in everyday but now it’s time for business!! I will slowly be adding items over the next couple of weeks just in time to have a nice selection for Holiday gifts and shopping! I am so excited to see where shop DosterShop goes :)

  9. Afghans for Eislee

    I just love buying afghans for Eislee.. I think I bought her the first one when she was one month old, and she probably has 10 now! They are so cute and snuggly! 

     

    & she loves snuggling and playing with them! Her favorite is hiding in them and then revealing her face “Peek-a-booo!” welp that’s all just stopped by, still got lots to do for Peanuts birthday bash Saturday! Can’t wait :)

    xoxo, Lea & Sweet Eislee
