My Big Girl!

Just a quick post here... I don't have a lot of time, but I am too excited to not write this down.

My daughter understands the potty!!! We haven't really been working on actual potty training, but we have been working to get her to tell us when she needs a diaper change. If her diaper is really bad, she will grab your hand and lead you to her changing table. Often, she'll just play the 'I'm an indecisive two-year-old' card and tell you she's not wet when she is.

Today however, she took Nathan's hand, led him....not to the nursery...but to the bathroom, and said 'Poop'. She let Daddy hold her over the toilet and she made a valiant pushing effort (with no result).

I'm so excited!

• She understands what the toilet is for!
• She's not afraid of it!
• She told Daddy instead of us asking her if she is messy!

And...this is the biggie...

• She told him BEFORE she went. She actually recognized the feeling of having to go to the bathroom and put that together with the toilet. She's only 21 months old.

I'm so proud of her! We are going out after work to get 'potty accessories.'

Tonight, We shall feast!!!

Potty Party at Hailey's House!

* note * - later on in the day, Daddy helped her really use the potty! She pulled down her own pants and went #1 on the big girl seat! She's going to be easier to potty train than the dog!
