my little girl is growing up...

yesterday jordyn decided she wanted to sit on the big-girl potty. i appeased her request just for fun...AND SHE PEED!!! then a little later, she said, "poo poo" again (this is what she calls pee or poo) and we went in there...and i'll be darned, she did it again. she went a total of 5 times on the big-girl potty yesterday. she never actually went poo on the potty, but she knows when she has to go...at this rate, she'll be potty trained before jack. who, coincidentally, has decided that he wants to go on the big-boy potty (since she's getting so much excitement out of it).

today though...was a different day. she only went 2 times today, and the 2nd time was solely to get m&m's. jack got to chose his very first pair of underwear out at the store and he chose Thomas the Train underwear. we went through two pair today...he is still having trouble determining "when" he has to go. but we'll get there! i'm hoping, crossing my fingers, that i can get them both trained and done with diapers at the same time. in my best dreams, i'm hoping it could be done by the end of the year. think we can do it?

i'm going to take pictures of them sitting on the potty tomorrow so that i can add them on here (and also scrapbook them...i have 'potty' embellishments that i have to use).

You can do it! Go Jack and Jordyn!!!! Just think of the savings on your diaper bill Jenn!

It is possible just keep on trying. Might mean you have to stay home more though! Think of all the scrapbooking things you can buy with your diaper $$$ :)

I hope she keeps it up for you! Sophia did this right before she turned 2 and I got all hopeful... then she just decided to quit. So here we are in diapers still with an occasional pee on the potty. Ah well... someday (I hope).
