I'm a Big Girl Now

I've been working on using the potty and not wearing diapers for a few weeks now, and really made great strides while in Houston with Gong-Gong and Po-Po. Then, earlier this week, I declared to Mommy that I wanted to wear panties to school. Adamantly. Tired of arguing with me, she decided to make it my teacher's problem (sorry, teachers!) and sent me to school in panties and two extra changes of clothing ... just ... in ... case. To her surprise, when she came to pick me up, I was in the same clothes! Dry! Success. See, Mommy? Told you I could do it. You just had to believe.

Washing my hands after using the potty.
One stool is not enough.

You sort of still need to keep an eye on me, though. I've unraveled the entire roll of toilet paper multiple times now (have you tried it? it's pretty fun), and today I tried to flush the ENTIRE wad of paper that I just unrolled. Luckily Mommy caught me before the real mess began.

It's not just what I'm doing.
It's what I already did.
And also what I'm about to do.
Hehe.

I'm a big girl in other ways, too. I help Mommy do the laundry -- diaper in the washing machine ... not a pretty sight -- and take care of Gavin.

Catch my bubbles, Gavin!
