Well I am very excited to report we have a family vacation planned in December. My parents are taking all of us on a cruise to the Carribean!!!! My parents have a timeshare every other year in Hawaii that they are trading in for the cruise so we can all go together at the same time. The best part is that htey are paying for the cruise and we only have to cover our airfare and extra's on the boat. Well we had enough points from credit cards/ff miles that we booked a total of 3 tickets to florida and paid a whopping $70!!!!!!
I am so excited. It is a Royal Carribean cruise, 8 nights stops at St Thomas, St Marten, San Juan, and a private island in Haiti!!! My younger brother is going along with my step sister and her two girls. My step brother as of right now is not going to make it. the ship looks awesome and I think we are going to have a blast.
And b/c of this trip I know have a potty training deadline.....in order for Izzy to be able to use the big kid child program on the ship she needs to be fully potty trained.....by december....i hope this should be possible.......although it doesn't feel like it most days when she refuses to have anything to do with the potty...although the other night right before her bath she did pee on the potty for the first time.....I am so overwhelmed by potty training. My plan right now is just not to push it and just ask her occasionally if she wants to go on it and put her on it everynight before bath(starting soon, i haven't been good at doing this yet). Maybe come summer I will get a bit more agressive but for now i don't think she is ready and everyone tells me I will know when she is ready......
I just hope she is ready by december!! Not that we will leave her in teh care of the child program all the time but it would be nice to have it as an option. I am pretty excited overall....

WOW! That sounds like a nice vacation. I look forward to hearing all about it. My husband wants to take a cruise however I have been on one and wasn't impressed (it was a carnival one). I am also curious as to how a cruise would go with a little one
As far as potty training goes, I think it is easier in the summer- less clothes to deal with etc... good luck:)
I'm so jealous!!! How much fun, and you will have built in babysitters too :)
Our pediatrician recommended a book called something like "Stress-free potty training". Haven't looked into it yet, as I'm dreading the potty training thing too. T has a fit whenever I ask if she wants to sit on her potty chair. She'd rather use it as a hat :)
