Potty-Training Success!

For the last three months, we have tried a couple times to potty-train Hallie, and it's been a flop every time. Last Wednesday, I decided I'd had enough. Her "big girl" bum was just too big to be wiping after changing her diaper, so I threw out the rest of the diapers we had left and I never turned back. A day and half, four accidents, and 30 potty dances later , she was potty-trained!! (Editor's note: Cameron DOES NOT do the potty dance, he only gives her high-fives; so thank goodness mommy was home to potty-train her or peeing in the potty wouldn't have been something to get that excited about!) She has even pooped in the potty already. Yes, believe it or not, Hallie was more than ready, it was just mommy and daddy who weren't ready for their big girl to grow up... okay, okay, we were just really lazy. We're so shocked how quick potty-training was... unfortunately we now expect the same from Sydnee. She has some big shoes to fill when it comes time for her to get potty-trained. Way to go Hallie!!!!

Yeah! What a big girl! Potty training stinks. I had the hardest time with Adam, but it sure feels good when it's done.

I love how she is reading a book while on the pot! She looks like a pro!

Way to go Hallie!!! Count your blessings Shannon. How do you make those cute layouts? It's probably some really expensive software, right.
