Potty Training!

Eleanor just decided this week that she wanted to be a big girl and go potty in the toilet! Yipee! The only drawback (as you mothers well know) is that she's going potty 2 or 3 times an hour. Oh well...I'd rather that she get the hang of it now rather than when I have a newborn. We're fully aware that there may be some regression (when the baby comes), but I think a lightbulb went off for her and she just decided that is what she wanted to do. I also have been using the sticker reward system. I'm quickly running out of stickers! :)
She was doing great at home for me but I was worried about daycare. I took her yesterday and she only had one accident. She also went to church with us last night in her big girl underwear and went potty in the church nursery (3 times!). She likes the potties at church because they are small - so are the sinks. Pretty cool!
One more thing: Auntie Natalie updated her blog with our Girls Weekend (March 6 - 8), so please go to her blog if you'd like to see those pictures. She did such a cute job!

Hooray for Eleanor! That's great! Cute little pic of the girl on the potty, too. I took pics of my girls on the potty - but I suppose that wouldn't be appropriate for the blog, huh?

Just checked Natalie's pics, too - and they are adorable! "Shh! Baby's sleeping" and the last one are my favs!

Later -
Amy

Yay! That's exciting. She's handling all the new stuff well, isn't she? (Bedroom, bed, potty). Although, I suppose when you're 2 1/2, there's a lot that is new. :)

Good job, Eleanor!
