Daddy's Girl

Almost every morning the first thing Andi says to me is "where daddy go?" when I say he's at work she says "Daddy all gone". She loves the weekends when I say Daddy's sleeping instead of at work and has decided it is her job to wake him up. I swear I don't put her up to it. Sunday for example she got up from her nap and was playing quietly in her room so I went to the front to do who knows what and all of a sudden I hear "Daddy wake up, play toys!" She had gone into our room, turned off the floor fan, and was standing by Thad's head pushing her toys in his face. And it's these times he's not so happy about her being a daddy's girl ;)
Andi is also trying to be a little too grown up these days and has begun deciding when she will and won't take naps. Yesterday I put her down and went out back to work in the yard. I came in 45 minutes later and she was yelling "Momma, momma stuck!" So I'm thinking great, she's got an appendage stuck between the crib bars again and has been yelling for me all this time. But I open the door and she's standing up and says "I stuck in bed. . . no sleep." I hope this doesn't become a regular occurrence. I really like Andi's nap time.
I have tried this last week to get some pictures of Andi but if she sees either camera(video or still) she wants to "see Andi". We made the mistake of showing her the pictures of her while they were still on the camera and the little narcissist can't get enough of it. So I haven't been quick enough yet to snap a shot before she runs to hold the camera, again, I'll work on it.
other than that we are taking another stab at potty training this week, so far it's not going over too well. Any of you who have done this potty training thing and have advice/tips I would greatly appreciate them.

Ok so I'm no expert on potty training, but this is what I did with Mikah...got a potty chair (I know they're dumb cuz you have to go dump the potty in the toilet and then clean it but I couldn't get her straight on the toilet) and put the potty chair in the room where she plays most...then I let her go naked and every now and then we would go sit on the chair...make a big deal and so forth...gave her lots of juice and then ten minutes later had her go...she did have some naked accidents but did pretty well with incentive...kept moving the potty chair a bit closer to the real toilet until it was in the bathroom and then on the toilet, etc. But she lived naked for seriously close to a month because she treated underwear like a diaper. anyway, we were definitely not accident free, but now she does really well!! Good luck!!
