My baby's growing up!!


You all will never guess what happened today. Little Marley Jane went poop and pee on the potty for the first time!!!!!! I have been trying so hard with her lately and she has just been strong willed. The other night I gave Marley two cups of juice and then we sat on the potty. We were there from 9 to 10 at night. I read 8 books to her and she was literally falling asleep on the pot. She kept trying to put her diaper on and refused to pee. When I took pity on my little angel, I strapped her diaper back on and picked her up to take her to bed. Well what did I feel as I picked her up but her diaper growing immediately warm. She had instantly soaked her diaper the second I put it on. I thought maybe she wasnt getting it. I had decided to back off a little, when today she was in her room and I heard her shouting. She told me she had to go poopie. She usually tells me this anywhere from ten to twenty times a day, so even though I took her, I had low expectations. Well low and behold as soon as she sat down I heard the music on the potty play. She had done a number 1 and 2 and we couldn't be prouder!!!! But now that she is one step closer to being self sufficent, I kind of want her to stay little. Such is life I guess.

This picture reminds me so much of you when you were little! Also, I'm jealous, Izzy had degressed in her training. In fact, she openly pooped on mom's guest room floor last week INSTEAD of using the potty.
