BIG NEWS!

I am sorry for those of you that this feels inappropriate for but AVA IS POOPING IN THE POTTY! I wasn't sure it was going to happen and she has some doozies! We never officially tried potty training with her because of our experience with Bella. Bella was well on her way and then I got pregnant with Ava and we had to re-train her two or three times! Ugh. We decided that with Ava we would let her take the lead since Porter was due to arrive shortly after her second birthday. She tried and could take or leave it and then she went through the "want-to-see-ever-potty-in-Charlotte-and-surrounding-areas" stage and so peeing in the potty began. She got lazy for a while and then it became the norm. Pooping in the potty became an issue and she was not having it. Again, we didn't press it but let her know that if she did it, we would reward her greatly. Then one day at school she accidentally went a little bit while peeing the potty so we made a big deal out of it and two weeks later she did it for real. All on her own. I was in shock. Now it has been two days and a lot of treats and I am putting it in the books!

Sorry and not sorry for the lack of pictures related to this post. Ha!!
