Potty-mania!

I am so proud of Lenna today... we've been working on the potty training thing for a little while, but not pushing too hard. We were at target the other day, and she went over to the underwear section by herself and picked out a packet of underwear with cats on them, totally on her own accord. So, I thought, okay may be she's ready. Ever since purchasing the "meowie pants" as she calls them, she is very excited about going to the potty because she gets to wear them for about an hour after she goes. Today was the first morning I was able to convince her to go; it's been a nighttime activity up until now. So, since she went, I brought her to school in her "meowie pants" as I had promised, assuming the teachers would deal with an accident and then put the pull-ups on. Well much to my amazement, I went to pick her up after school and she was still in her meowie pants! The teachers said they couldn't believe it, she just went in the bathroom by herself whenever she need to go, didn't have any accidents, and seemed totally comfortable with the whole transition! We'll see if it sticks, but for now she's totally into it. I was telling her how proud of her I was on the way home, and listing all the other people that were proud of her, and then she said "Lenna proud." ... and that just made me melt.

I thought about posting a cute photo of her on the potty, but I decided to spare her the embarrassing visual archive.
