Happy Plate, Happy Momma

When it comes to eating, I am so happy to finally hear the words, "I want some more, momma." We never heard that before our trip to Shriner's. Gaining some more weight, along with simple exercises with play will help O get stronger and more confident with walking. She has already been standing for much longer periods than she ever did before her fracture, and she almost always chooses walking over being carried.

Our first week of potty training was a success. A few minor accidents, but nothing major. We've always said we had an easy baby and this proves it again.

Successful Potty Training Weekend

This has been a lot more fun than I thought it would be. It is such a joy to watch my daughter grow, and learn, and get excited about her accomplishments. Those sweet moments when time seems to stop and she is telling me a story or singing a song, while waiting to "go".... I love those moments. 



I have not followed it to a T, but I used a lot of the ideas this mom used:

We are not done yet, but we are a lot more far along than I thought we would be.
There was a song CarrieSueMist made up in high school that I have been singing to O this weekend. Day 2, she had already started singing it all by herself. Robert says, "You guys need to finish that song! Write some verses to it."

I gotta go pee pee, I do, I do
I gotta go pee pee
I gotta go, go, go
I gotta GO... GO

(I couldn't figure out how to rotate it, but it's still cute)
