Potty Time!!

We finally have potty success! About 2 weeks ago, Lexi sat on the potty when she was home with daddy. She had been sitting on the potty for a few weeks, but had never actually deposited anything IN the potty. Well, she pee-pee'd in the potty that morning! Lexi called mommy at work and daddy took her out and got her a new Dora bath toy and also a stuffed Goofy doll for being such a big girl. In the weeks following, Lexi has still been sitting on the potty, but once again not depositing anything IN the potty... until today! Gra-Nola, G.G. Eileen, Pa-Pa Bud and cousin Kaitlyn were here for the weekend and Lexi went in to sit on the potty once again (right after breakfast). All of a sudden, daddy called mommy into the bathroom and said "Guess what Lexi did?!" You guessed it! She pooped in the potty!!! We were so excited! Lexi washed her hands and happily received the Dora candy cane and M&M's daddy has been promising her if she were to ever poopy in the potty. As the day progressed, we later asked Lexi if she had to sit on the potty again. She said "Yes" so we proceeded into the bathroom again just after supper. To our surprise, she pooped in the potty AGAIN!!! That makes twice in one day!!! She once again got a handful of M&M's and we were all so excited! Maybe this is the start of big girl undies and no more diapers (at least for a few months until baby #2 comes along)!

What a big girl! This whole no diaper thing will revolutionize your life...until May. Look at the bright side...only 1 in diapers, instead of two! Keep the bribes and rewards coming!

Grandma Wola is so proud of Alexa Eileen! She will make such a good big sister. I enjoyed our weekend at the Saris'. Uncle Benny will be visiting this coming weekend. Maybe we need to buy some Dora panties?
