For the past two weeks Ella has taken a big interest in the potty. I got her one for Christmas and set it out just for her to get used to with no intention of potty training until after her sister arrived, but like I keep learning Ella does things on her schedule. She decided to start using the potty and I was such a proud mommy. Seriously you would have thought that she had won a Nobel Peace Prize or something, I was so excited. She kept it up for a few days going poop and pee in the potty with few accidents and every time she would go in the potty she would stand up and say, "Ta-Da" (my mom taught her that one). So as I have been know to do I got a little ahead of myself and took her out to get big girl underwear. We started with the big girl underwear the next morning and were back in diapers within an hour and a half. I heard, "uhh-ohh" three seperate times and after spot cleaning the carpet in three different rooms in the house I decided that maybe we should back off a litte and give her some more time. She is still going in the potty two to three times a day but I am not ready to give up the diapers quite yet. I think it may be as big of a step for me as it is for Ella. My baby girl is growing up so fast!
