the hutchings family skip to main skip to sidebar the hutchings family the adventures of seth amanda kayla and grant hutchings project runway here i come with a new box full of dress ups a new topic has come up in our home modesty kayla now knows the difference between modest dress and immodest clothing if i happen to turn on an episode of dancing with the stars kayla will look at me and say mommy she s not modest a neighbor gave kayla an old barbie doll this particular doll was wearing only a painted on bikini obviously as kayla pointed out she was not modest so what else was there to do but make her some clothes now i have limited sewing experience i have a sewing machine but i mostly use it to hem pants or re do a seam that has come undone i think i made a pair of pajama pants in middle school i dunno i can t really remember so sewing barbie a dress from scratch was no small feat first i tried just making a tube dress i took barbie s measurements and made something that should be big enough to slip around her i cut a slit at the top for her head to go through then folded back the edges and sewed them down to make a collar the only problem was that the dress didn t fit it was too tight i couldn t get it on her so i added triangular side panels the result was a cute little a line dress it may have taken me all morning and it may not be perfect but i must say i am pretty proud of the results 1 comment potty training kayla with her first potty chart i was terrified of potty training maybe kayla was ready but i wasn t the idea of cleaning up the accidents or having to take a toddler to a dirty public restroom with a 3 second emergency notice was not appealing to me it was a hurdle i knew we would have to jump at some point but i just kept postponing it diapers were so easy and when i thought of the alternative i just didn t mind changing them sure we had a training potty and kayla would sit on it once in a while but i wasn t really doing much to encourage it then one day kayla comes up to me and says mommy i need to go pee pee so we went and sat her down on the potty and she just did it like she d been doing it for years then she didn t do it again she wouldn t do it again i knew she could she just wouldn t we offered new coloring books or elmo movies to no avail then came a big box of hand me down dress up dresses nice ones disney princess ones one look at that and kayla was excited so we made a deal every time kayla used the potty she would get a sticker on her sticker chart when the sticker chart was full she got to pick one dress from the box we started with 5 stickers then 10 then 20 she wasn t too excited about doing her number 2 on the potty so we made a deal that if she did it once she would automatically get a new dress up a day or two later success i ve heard other moms say that you just need to wait until they are ready and the kiddos will practically train themselves i guess that s what we did and it worked for us and it wasn t nearly as hard as i thought it would be i still don t like public restrooms though they are not designed with small people in mind and who ever invented those self flushing toilets seriously who needs the boogie man when there is something that scary 2 comments the zoo a few weeks ago we went to the woodland park zoo with some friends it was kayla s very first trip to a zoo we saw gorillas penguins elephants komodo dragons giraffes and zebras and a tapir kayla especially loved the petting zoo and spending the day with her buddies 1 comment big girl bed and pai pai bear one day when kayla was first starting to talk she started asking me for pie she looked at me with big eyes and asked pie pie pie pie i thought she s never had pie does she even know what pie is what is she asking for finally i realized that she was asking for her pacifier so in our house we don t have a binky or a paci we have a pai pai when kayla turned 2 we ve made a rule that the pai pai was only allowed in the crib she would use it to fall asleep during naps and at night sometimes during the day she would climb into her crib suck on her pacifier for a few minutes then climb back out and keep playing we knew that the time was coming that she would need to give the pacifier up completely and we wondered how to do it one of the biggest issues is that kayla is a fabulous sleeper taking a 2 to 3 hour nap pretty much every day i was worried that taking away the pacifier would cause sleeping problems or if nothing else cause her to give up her nap a much needed break for mommy i knew i wanted to wait at least until after grant was born to deal with the pacifier issue in the mean time kayla was out growing her crib we finally decided it was time to get a big girl bed we went shopping and had kayla help us pick out the mattress we let kayla pick some fun sheets she picked tinkerbell we brought the mattress home set it up in kayla s room and let her lay in it we had been talking about it with her so she knew pacifiers were not allowed in her big girl princess bed she said she wanted to sleep in the bed so we took her crib out of the room we did our regular bedtime routine and put her to bed in her new bed closed the door and waited and what do you know she fell asleep boom no pacifier after two days we knew she would be fine so i brought kayla and her pacifiers to the mall and she got to pick any build a bear she wanted and we put the pacifiers in the bear it was a nice send off and now she has a nice teddy bear she can sleep with here is kayla on her big girl bed with her pai pai bear and yes she picked the little mermaid outfit for her bear complete with a flowing red wig kayla of course wanted to try the wig on and then she wanted to see what the wig looked like on grant fabulous 3 comments our garden when grandma and grandpa visited after grant was born seth and grandpa built a raised garden bed our previous garden experience consists of mini herb gardens that we forgot about and let dry out so basically we are first time gardeners who don t know anything we decided to try this year and we have used the principles found in the book all new square foot gardening by mel bartholomew we ve watered and battled slugs here are the results lettuce carrots peas tomatoes zucchini bell pepper we ve eaten a bunch of the lettuce some of the peas green beans and most of the carrots and they have been awesome we re still waiting on the tomatoes zucchini and bell pepper it has been a fun first attempt we ll tweak it next year plant a little more maybe we re pretty proud of our little garden and let s be honest seth has done almost everything so he deserves all the credit update today s harvest yum 2 comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom the
