Grace and The Potty Adventures

Grace has really become interested in using the potty recently. She has been playing with her Potty Elmo and other dolls acting out the acts of potty and changing. Yesterday served to be a big milestone for us. Grace used the potty twice while watching Elmo. She was so excited when we both clapped and sang a song with her to acknowledge her big accomplishment. I know that we still have much work ahead of us, but we are so pleased with the official beginning of potty training. Today she went to sit on her potty recognizing that she had to go. However, she left her pullups on. I quickly went to help her pull them down but it was too late. That's okay because she is recognizing that she needs to go and I am so proud. I told her that next time maybe she can go in time. She is such a big girl. I had even bought a seat that fits on the big potty several months ago. I figured that we would master potty training in the small potty first and then graduate her to the big potty, unless she shows that she would rather potty in the big potty before then. It is such a happy time to see her grow and change, but in a way it is also sad because I realize that she isn't really a baby anymore. But I guess no matter how much you grow and change Grace, "You'll Always Be My Baby."
