It Happened Again!!

Okay... I have to admit, I thought the first time was a one-off... but Baby G went on the potty again yesterday... same drill. After she peed, I tried to take her off but she told me she had to go poopy and I waited for a minute or two, but thought she must be confused. Sure enough 5 minutes later she had pooped in her diaper. I just feel so totally unprepared for what is happening here. Somebody pinch me!

I believe in Miracles...

On Saturday, Baby G came to me and said "Mommy... pee-pee... potty," as she tugged on her diaper and led me to the bathroom. She tried to lift the toilet seat, so I knew she was serious. I took her diaper off and sat her on the potty. Nothing happened. I thought "well, at least she is getting used to the idea," and THEN (drum roll)... she peed in the potty. I laughed, I cried, I screamed. I thought these type of stories were only Urban Legends... but I can testify... they really do happen.

Now I don't expect her to be in panties any time soon, but the fact that she initiated the process at 19 months of age... is just so foreign to me.... and so de-light-ful. Miracles do happen!

Nursery!

Baby spent her first day in our church NURSERY. Happy day! When I went to pick her up, she was pounding on a locked storage bin. I asked one of the leaders (our hometeacher) how she fared and he said "She did great!" I then inquired what was in the storage bin (cookies?)... nope, dolls. She kept crying on the bin saying "dolls, dolls." I said "honey, it's time to go home," to which she responded by throwing herself on the ground and crying. This could be the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
