On the potty train

Lucy is officially potty trained, and it was way easier than I had anticipated. I thought her feisty/spunky/opinionated personality would clash with the fact that this was something I wanted her to do. But we started training on Thursday with basically no accidents. We had a couple of accidents on Sunday (including a bad one in the mall food court), but that's it.

For the record, I tried potty training her about 5 to 6 weeks ago, but after half a day that included 6-7 accidents and no successes, I stopped. Then, in the last 2 weeks, I noticed she was waking up dry from her long afternoon nap. That, apparently, was the breakthrough her body needed, because this time was a cinch.

The title of this post is from what Lucy said to Jon's sister on the phone: "Auntie Jenn, I go on the potty train!"

I was going to post a picture of her, but the latest one I have is a close-up of her underwear, taken from behind. The one I have before that is this:

Great! that just proves when they are ready, it is easy. You tell her that Nannie thinks it's great that she's on the "POtty train!" Did you make that adorable strawberry top. Bet so. It's so cute. L&K nannie

Nannie, I wish I had made that strawberry shirt, but no, it's store bought. :)
