Potty Training...

This week we decided to take on the task of potty training Vanessa. She has been ready for about a month but with going to D.C. I did not want to be running around D.C. trying to find a bathroom our whole vacation. So we made her wait. She has been doing really good so far. We had her throw away all of her diapers and put big girl panties on her. We are not going back now! She has had her fair share of accidents but she is understanding what it feels like when she needs to go.

Last night, she finally told us she needed to go potty, ran in and sat on the potty and went! We were so excited for her. She was also so excited! She gave us a high five, said, "YES!!", and put some stickers on her chart. She also got to call her Aunt Kimberly and tell her she went potty.

Today she had another break through. She went poop on the potty! When she did she had "Yeah, I went poop on potty!" I think she is getting it down. We still have a long way to go but it is a start. We are so proud of her. She is such a big girl!
