Potty Training...

Yes, that's right... we're venturing into that phase once again.

I received a phone call from Becky yesterday afternoon letting me know that Tylie went "pee-pee on the potty" before nap-time, woke up with a dry diaper, and then went on the toilet again right after waking up! SO exciting! Yet, odd to think that our little girl (who-I might add is still small enough to fully fall through the toilet seat if she isn't careful) is starting to potty train. We know there's still a long road ahead of us, and it won't happen overnight. But still!

One of the hard things, for me at least, is that she's at that age where many of her words sound the same. Just after we tucked the kids in to bed last night, Ty started saying "Pee-pee! Pee-pee!" So I went into the girls' room, asked if she had to go pee-pee (which she said yes) and then took her to the bathroom. I sat there on the bathroom floor for a few minutes, all the while Ty sat there giving me the cutest little grins and caressing my cheek as if she were trying to get out of a punishment, looking all around the bathroom, then reaching for toilet paper when NOTHING had even come out yet! Bec walked in and said, "She wasn't saying 'pee-pee', she was saying 'SIPPY'!" (figures.) Got her diaper back on, tucked her back into bed, and gave her her sippy cup-which was all she wanted...

Regardless, she's been successful at going in the potty, and we're excited at the thought of having three potty trained kids AND only needing diapers at night!

I keeping telling guys, she's to little. She can't possibly be almost 3! That has happened way to quickly.

Now, your only dilema will be finding panties to fit her tiny behind! I don't think they come in preemie size lol!
