Potty Training Success!

Oh my goodness!  Potty training has clicked (I think...knock on wood) for Natalie!

We have randomly tried to get her to use the potty for what has seemed like FOREVER!!!!  On Tuesday night after picking the girls up from daycare, I decided to have Natalie try to go potty and I used the phrase "make the potty wet" and it just clicked! Last night she went 4-5 times with no accidents. Today at school she only went once, but hey, that's progress! Then tonight she went twice before we left to meet her friends at an indoor playland. She went on the public potty and then went twice again before bed!  She's a rockstar with potty training right now!  I can't even explain how happy I am that this is finally making sense to her!  We still aren't all the way there, but we are SO much closer than we have been in the past!!!!

Bobby told her that if she went potty at daycare today that he would buy her ice cream, so we went to the grocery store to pick up ice cream and toppings (Bobby's idea...great idea). Then, once we got home, Natalie got to help make her sundae, complete with:

mint cookies and cream ice cream
star sprinkles
chocolate syrup
marshmallows
whipped cream
...and a cherry on top!

We are so proud of you, Natalie! (I hope I don't jinx her progress by talking about it...lol!)

 






Some other things I have forgotten to post about Natalie lately:

When we went to the splash park last weekend, Natalie got stung by a bee on her finger because she tried to catch it!  She thinks all flying bugs are "ladybugs". So, when she got stung, she was very brave and barely cried. She did say "The 'ladybug' bit me!" Poor girl! Luckily we learned she isn't allergic and we were very shortly on our way to have fun!

"Thank you so more much"

She uses "just" in a lot of sentences and "will not" a lot now.

I'm sure there is more because she is getting so big!

Aubrey news:

Still not walking!!!  We have gotten her to take 6 steps total and she stands without holding onto anything for a little while, but she still prefers crawling!
