Little Ladybug: Growing Up & Potty Training

My Little LadyBug (LL) became officially a "Preschooler" this September (2015) but honestly I did not have the traditional feelings that most Mothers have when their child goes off to Preschool. I read lots of sweet blog posts about how fellow bloggers were in tears as their children started Preschool or were off to First (Primary) School this Autumn. They wrote about the changes happening in their daily routine and how much they missed their son or daughter. I could understand but not relate because my daughter's may have now been officially a Preschooler but actually our lives had change very little.

{THE ORDINARY MOMENTS 15} Exploring the Neighbourhood with My Daughter

Some of my favourite times with my family are just lazy weekends around the house. We always walk into town during the weekends to buy food for dinner or visit the bookstore but this weekend we decided to something a little different.

We went exploring around our neighbourhood. Our first adventure was just around the streets near our home. We really did not know what was behind the fence at the end of our garden. So we decided to put on our coats and walk past our detached neighbours' homes and see where the sidewalk would lead us. We discovered that the general public could not walk behind our fence but it was the backyard for a housing complex for elderly people. I often see individuals gardening and talking. Little Ladybug (LL) then took me and than Daddy on further trips around the neighbourhood to explore.

{THE ORDINARY MOMENTS 15} Little Ladybug Growing Up

Last week a group of my fellow mummy bloggers were going through the emotional process of finding out where their children would be starting school in September. I am very grateful that I have another year before I stay up until past midnight in hopes of finding out as soon as possible if we got our top school choice. Even though my daughter is not heading off to Reception until September 2016, I still have been thinking alot about how quickly my daughter is growing up.

In February 2013, I went back to work after maternity leave and Little Ladybug started attending day nursery full-time. Dropping her off every morning was very hard and really missed her sweet face during the day. She started out as a Caterpillar. She enjoyed crawling around and learning how to walk and then run.
