Update

Operation Potty Training is NOT going well. I have been fighting this sinus stuff for a few days. It has been "toying" with me and wondering if it wanted to stay for a while. Well, IT CHECKED IN DURING THE NIGHT!!!!! I am determined there is NO room and going to seek medical help in evicting it this afternoon. So... Operation Potty Training is put on hold.....

Here I go...!

Well, despite my last post, I have NOT begun potty training! We have the next 2 days off of school because of Mardi Gras and I plan to start. Tonight, before she went to sleep, she sat up in the bed and pointed to her diaper and said, "I tee-teeing, Mommy." Sure enough, she was! I am going to stay home tomorrow and begin. I will keep you all updated.....

You know its time to commence potty training when...

you find your almost 2 1/2 year old daughter laying on your bed, poo poo diaper smashed into hubby's pillow, new diaper under her bottom and she is wiping herself. Don't mean to be too graphic, but this is the scene we found this afternoon when we realized Bella was TOO quite!

Let's backtrack to the past few months: she has been taking her diaper off and throwing it away once it is wet. Okay... I knew we were getting close. She got out of her bed one night last week at 3:30 a.m. to climb into mine. But... she made a pit stop by the kitchen garbage can to discard her wet diaper! (I realized this in the morning!) Yesterday, as we were on our way home from school, she tells me that she has to "poo poo, Mommy". To which I respond: "Bella, I will change you when we get home." As I get her out of her car seat, I check and see she hasn't. We get in the house and she goes straight to the potty. I go to check on her and discover she HAS POO POOED in the potty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course, we began dancing and singing and her daddy brought her home an Icee. Then... we have the incident on my bed this afternoon.

So, what do you think... IS IT TIME???????
