Well I'm not... but Bella has been quite a bit lately! We have officially been working on potty training Bella this last week. So far so good!! For months she has been talking about wanting to go on the potty, but never was actually interested in GOING on the potty. But this last week, I think I've found the key to her success... she LOVES soap, washing her hands and lotion!! (such a girly girl!) With the boys it was always a treat of chocolate, or stickers. But with Bella, the key to her heart is scented soap, and lotions! If given the opportunity, she would be in the bathroom all day washing her hands and slathering lotion all over, then coming out and having all of us smelly the yummy new scent on her hands. So last week, I told her, she can wash her hands every time she goes in the potty. Guess what... it's worked! Every time she has a successful trip to the bathroom, she washes her hands, sometimes puts on some lotion as well, then walks around to each family member announces her success, and put our her hands for everyone to smell. Now out of context this may look odd, a 2 year old announcing she's gone "pee pee in the potty" and then puts her hands out for everyone to smell. haha But all the boys are such good sports about it, and patiently applaud her success and tell her how nice her hands smell! :) Our family is well on our way to being diaper free soon enough!! You know what I realized yesterday... it's been over 10 years that we have been consistently changing diaper in the Stewart home!!!I'm so ready to no longer have to change diapers!
I love how she puts her feet straight out to read a book as she waits.
