Hooray!

Camlin used the potty today! Finally, after months of prompting to sit on the potty, wear big girl underpants, and several attempts, pee finally ended up in the bowl!

Until today, Camlin would walk around for hours in regular underwear but then insist on putting on a diaper before she had to pee. We also spent a lot of time sitting in the bathroom, waiting.

I'm not sure what was different today. Maybe it was the new Dora underwear I gave her this morning or maybe she is just now ready. Either way, it was cause for a big celebration. I was thrilled to be able to present her with the gift bag from which to choose a prize. (I had been gathering little presents for a while in hopes this day would come soon.) And Dave immediately began talking about what we could do with the extra money we'd have from no longer purchasing diapers.

I'm not throwing out the nappy coupons just yet though; however, today we will revel in the fact that our baby girl is starting to grow up. We're so proud!


Camlin saying 'Hooray! (Notice the Sesame Street ponytail holders in her hair and on her wrist - that was the prize she chose.)
