It's Potty Time!

Party / Potty

It's all the same to me!

This face pretty much sums

up the excitement going on in

this house in last few days.

We've been letting her do this at

her own pace. No formal "training"

really. Weird? I know I'm crazy,

but I've not been in any huge hurry.

I have this strange notion that once

she's out of diapers the baby in her

will be truly gone. I'm not ready.

So, we've been letting her take the lead.

Tonight, with me waiting outside the

bathroom with the door closed because

she wants to "do by self, Mama"

I hear her say "I stinky in the potty."

Sure enough. Success. Holy moly.

I was on the phone with my sister at

the time. I think she thought I had just

discovered I'd won the lottery.

Despite my unwillingness to let

her grow up -- this was a great night.

She was so proud.

Next step - BIG GIRL panties.

Am I ready?
