A SPLASH OF A SURPRISE!!!

Today was a GREAT day! I went to change Evey's diaper and she insisted we sit on the potty! Well we all went in and sat her on the pot and we sat for a few minutes, then she wanted off. Well we usually try to sit there for at least 3-5 minutes just in case... and she's never actually done a #1 or a #2 on the potty.... so we insisted she sit for a few more minutes. Well this made her angry and she began to cry pretty hard, then all of the sudden..... ssssssssssssssssssss!!!! She started to PEE PEE!!! She stopped crying and continued to pee for like 12 seconds!! WE ALL SAID "YIPPPPPEEEE EVEY!!!" and hugged and kissed her and made sure to make a big deal of it! Then we gave some High 5's and handed her 2 jelly beans! It was quite the event!

See, for well over a year now we've had the potty seat that goes on the big potty and we've had her sitting on it and trying for that long... not pushing, but just getting her used to the idea. We've always taken the poop from her diapers and flushed it down the toilet too with her to show her how it all works.... so we assumed it would be an easy transition. WRONG. We've learned that when they're ready, they're ready. And we know that JUST because she went 1ce doesn't mean we're there yet, but it is a great step in the right DRYrection!!! hee hee!! ( and yes we did go buy more diapers tonight! ha!) We know it will happen when she's ready!

Yay EVEY!! Mom and dad are so proud of you!!!!!

(what a ham.. this pic is her with a mouth full of grapes! Silly girl!)
