Growing up

Just when I was beginning to think she would never be potty trained, Aubrey has started wearing "big girl pants" and is making great progress. She has been using the potty off and on for almost a year, but only when we put her on it and only if she just happens to need to go at that moment. However, one thing she had never done was no. 2 in the potty. Nice potty talk, I know.   She has had a lollipop waiting as her treat when she finally decided to do it. 

I knew it was time to kick the training into gear when she started taking off her diaper more.  So here I was on Thursday, putting her on the potty after she took her diaper off, when all of a sudden... she did it! She was shocked and then, or course, very excited because she could finally have her lollipop.

Here are some pics of the proud girl and a few others from last week.

Her first lollipop.  Yum.

It's hard to believe Aubrey will be three soon.  It really hit me last week when the first of her playgroup friends celebrated her 3rd birthday.  Thanks for the cupcake Megan!

More friends!  Christy, Alivia and Will.  (For those of you who don't know, Christy and I have known each other since Kindergarten.  Now we both have a girl and a boy, just months apart!

Henry's turn.  Love that smile.
