Ella's first time to REALLY use her potty!

Ella's been "using" her potty for a couple of months now. By that I mean that she sits on it and "pretends" to use the restroom. Emma Claire of course does this as well. However, last Saturday evening (4-19-08) she told me that she needed to go potty, and she actually sat down and tee-teed. After she stood up she pointed to the potty and said "poop". I almost didn't even glance in the potty because that is what they always say when they get off their potty, and usually the potty is empty. This time, to my surprise, there was tee-tee in the potty! I was so excited ooohhhing and ahhhhing that I think that I frightened Ella, she seemed a bit confused! Of course I rewarded her with some M&M's and I put her big girl panties on that Brenda got for her on Valentine's Day. I followed her around and made sure that she didn't get on the carpet, and in no time flat she tee-teed in the kitchen! We haven't had any potty successes since, but we will keep trying! If the girls could be potty-trained by mid-summer I would be thrilled! Can you tell how proud Ms. Ellie is with her potty full of tee-tee?!


Look at Ella Cate's big girl panties!


Emma Claire hasn't had any potty success yet, but she wants you to know she'll be a potty super star soon!
