Potty training! Yes Cyann is potty training and she is doing GREAT!
YEA!!!!
I have to confess though it is so hard, I feel bad I am spending so much time training Cyann, I feel the other girls are getting left out. :( Its so hard.
I am working on trying to include the others and Im hopping this is just temporary. Right, this should take a week of focusing on training her and then it will get better? I know it does not always work that way but if you wouldn't mind praying that this training process would take and all that would be GREATLY appreciated.

THREE!!
I just spent the last hour holding my baby. OH Wait, She is not a baby anymore. She is one month shy of THREE!
I cant believe how time has flown by, really its crazy how it really feels like yesterday that I was holding the hairiest baby I had ever seen. :) She was so perfect. My little bear. Didlebear.
We have grow so close over the last few years. Been through so much and have overcome so many challenges. They have said you can't or wouldn't but you HAVE.
Your almost THREE!!! Can you believe it!
Im so proud of you! and I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
Love mommy

Post surgery recap
Noelles surgery went really well. She did great and was declared the model patient of the day (she was the only one who woke up not screaming).
She was wide eyed and happy this early morning. :)
All dressed in our cute hospital gown.
I wish I looked so cute. This is after the relaxer they gave her, she was crazy loopy, it was to funny.
Post surgery she drank 16 oz of water right off and then just hugged her cup.
At home swinging and eating a snack. She has had so much water and juice its great. While she was eating oatmeal she would take a bit and cry while she swallowed so I gave her some Lortab, she is lots better now. Thank the Lord for medicine.
Thank you all my dear friends for all your prays and support.

Surgery
I know its been way to long since I have posted but I am hoping I will post more often, we will see.
Tonight we are getting ready for surgery number 3. Noelle is having Myringotomy with Tube placement and Adenoidectony in short tubes placed in her ears and her Adenoid removed.
This is her second Tube placement. She has had a rough last few months and I am looking forward to having my sweet clean nosed little girl back that loves to laugh and play. I am excited to see if this helps little Noelle in the whole snoring department.
The whole thing will take 20 mins and she will be completely out for the whole thing which is scary for me. I dont like it when she is under and she is a bear when she comes out of it.
I will let you know how it all goes tomorrow. Im going to go to sleep its an early morning.

Noelle Update
well folks Noelle is the most amazing little girl, nothing not even a scary long named syndrome can hold her back.
She is talking!!!! yes she is saying WORDS!!!! Yes even whole sentences!!!!!
She has said "I want one." "Who's that?" "Want more" "Need that" "Mama dirty" (her diaper was dirty) "Want that"
I love hearing her say things! It is so wonderful.
In other news she is getting glasses today. She is near sighted, Im hoping this will help some with her walking. (she stumbles alot and does not see steps) I will post pictures when we get them.
well thats all the exciting news for now. Who said that RTS would hold her back?

Totally broken
journal entry this morning
Its been a very hard morning. I really dislike my child right now everything is setting me on edge. My mind keeps saying 'how can I love someone who treats me like this, I now what is best for her but she bulks at everything, we clash all the time, why did God give me a child like this.'
I sent everyone to there rooms because I Needed a 'time out'. I turned on some music with out really thinking I picked Todd Agnew the first song Something Beautiful totally convicted me. The chorus is what got to me, God does not see me as the sinner that I am He see's Christ who payed for my sins. That is how I need to see my daughter, Christ covers her sin and loves her even when she sins.
The song goes like this:
I am struggling to find a way to make myself attractive to You, attractive to You
I am trying to be more deserving of the gift You have to me, so free
Chorus:
It's funny how all I can be is someone completely ugly
And yet when You look at me, You don't see a wretch,
You see a reflection of something beautiful
I am searching for the water that can wash me clean enough to earn Your love
I want to stop all the things that break Your heart, but come so natural to me, naturally
CHORUS
I can't believe you could fall in love with me.
Tears began to sting my eyes as I realized thats how I am with Gods Correction in my life, I bulk, I scream, cry, run the other way. How I break his heart day after day. Totally broken

I was looking back at last year around this time and found this...
OH we have come so far but I love the little wiggle she use to do when she was happy, she still does it a little bit.
My life ONE year ago was very full I had a newborn, a one year old and a almost 3 year old, now I have a one year old and a two year old, a almost 4 year old, and in two and a half months a newborn.
I have come to rest in and lean on this verse:
2 Corinthians 12:9 - "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
For all of you moms out there that have asked me lately how I do it well this is how. Christ is my strength and He carries me through my day. That is Everyday if I try and do it on my own I fail but NEVER have I asked and God not picked me up and wrapped His powerful arms around me and carried me through the hard days.
I hope that encourages you just like it does me.
God bless you

Noelle's Birthday ( sorry a little late)
Noelle is TWO Years old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can not believe how fast the time has flown by. It is amazing to me to think about all that has happened in the last two years.
Here are some pictures of the party!
The Cake!!!
She was very excited about the cake but not the candles.
Admiring the cake. Noelle just wants to eat it.
Cyann trying to blow the candle out.
Loving the cake!
By the end of the night Noelle was a little overwhelmed by the end of the night.
Noelle I cant believe you are two years old. I love every little moment with you. I rejoice in your accomplishments and smile at your funny little habits. I love my neck snuggles in the mornings and all the many hugs throughout the day. You make me smile everyday. Thank you sweet Dittle Bug. I am looking forward to what this next year holds for us.
Love Mommy
