Sleep ~ Isabelle learn to fall asleep by herself since she was 5 months old (no rocking or patting) and it has been a good 17 months!

Potty Training ~ This is an on & off progress. We have been trying to train her for the past week with a few successes and countless accidents. I am trying not to give up and at the same time, not wanting to push her too hard and create fear in her. So will take this one day at a time.
