Potty Training

I think we have arrived.  Brie has decided the time has come to do all her potties on the big girl potty!  I could not be more happy about this.  She wears underwear all the time now; with the exception of at night.  She still wears a diaper to bed at night and is soaking wet in the morning.  Even for naps though she can stay dry. 

Brie was peeing on the potty for a while now, but would refuse to go #2.  I left her in a diaper or pullup for the morning until she would poop in it, then we would wear undies the rest of the day.  This system was working really well.  I kept encouraging her to try and go in the potty; but she has no interest and was freaked out by it.  I realized she didn't know how to go sitting down.  One day I caught her in the act and put her on the potty half way through, this seemed to start the though process for her.  After a few accidents she got the hang of it! 

She has had a couple accidents here and there, usually because we are outside playing.  But overall, I think she's got it!  Yippie for only 1 kid in diapers now!!!

She is getting so old, I can hardly believe it. She has a backpack she likes to play with, she puts it on and says 'I'm going to school, mommy!'  No you are not baby girl, stop growing up so fast!!!  I can't even imagine her being gone during the day at school, thank goodness we have a lot of time before that because clearly I am no where near ready for that stage!
