It's Potty Time

So this is a no pictures post, sorry about that, but I still believe the info contained with in it to be news/blog worthy. I apologize for not having blogged earlier in the week about such news but I kind of wanted to feel out how certain we were about things. So, what is this said news...

As you may have guessed from the title, our precious princess has begun to use the potty! This is pretty much all her doing too. On Monday, her first day in her new class at school.. a room with a "big kid potty"... she asked to go. Her teacher was like "uh, sure, let's go!" She knew we hadn't started training yet, but since she asked, she went for it. And, what do you know, our Sashie went!

Since Monday she's tried numerous times on the potty, had a dry diaper once when waking up from nap, went a few more times at school and has gone twice at home after dinner. Yes, in case you're asking yourself, I'm keeping track! This is big stuff for a mom of a 2+ year old.

We're not pushing the training but rather letting Sashie take the lead, since it seems she wants to anyway (don't know who she gets that from!?!). I've started asking her and if she says yes then we'll go, if not, we won't. At this point, we're thrilled so we'll *knock on wood* and say a prayer things continue and she keeps interest. I do think her new teacher at school is a big help in the right direction so yay for that.

I'm sure none of you thought you'd hear me get this excited about potty (or rather teetee as we're starting to say from school) but you just don't know what will get you going until your a mom. If anyone wants to say a prayer in our direction that things continue to go smoothly we'll take it!

Many hugs and much love from the Southern crew!

Stats and the ABCs

Sashie had her 2 year appt a little late in July, and here I am reporting on it a little late in early Aug... but hey, at least I'm reporting on it right? Our girl is growing! It took her 2 years but she has caught up to the averages on the charts. She is 50th percentile for both height and weight coming in at 28lbs and 34 inches. As for progress in general, the dr was very happy, she's a smart cookie all around (not that he needed to tell us that of course :)

To demonstrate some of her new skills I give you a new video... Sasha and her ABCs!
