potty trained

"what's the big deal, Mom?"

This post is soooo much more for me than it is for anyone else. I have to document stuff like this or I will forget.

So....Sunday morning, Abby came to me and asked to use the potty. I said, "sure" and she did it. I thought it was just a total fluke and went with it. Well, she did it 6 times that day. I had no big girl pants or anything. MY plan was to potty train her this summer. Well, she ended up potty training herself. I was SO caught off guard and SO not ready for this. I thought she would wake up Monday morning and things would go back the way they were. However, she kept it up and has done a great job. We went out Monday morning and bought big girl pants and it has gone great ever since. I think she knows more about this potty training thing than I do. She has amazed me. I couldn't be prouder of her. Abigail, you never cease to amaze me. I love you so much and I am so dang proud of you. You are truly my BIG GIRL!!!

Now....if only we could get rid of the paci!?!?!?!?

Um, potty training was the hardest thing I've EVER tried to do. And we're still not potty trained. Going to give it another try next week. Maybe Abby can tell Riley it's not that big of a deal. I am so impressed!

By the way, the pic of her in the wagon? She looks like she's going to be a teenager. STOP growing Abby!
