Potty Training!

The last two weekends I've been working on potty training Millie... and it's really been like 2 days the weekend before (if that) and then 2 days this last weekend (with Gigi's help on Friday night and Saturday morning.) Millie is doing so well!! She's finally saying: I have to pee! Instead of: I got pee (meaning - she's already gone.) She would walk around the house and say: I got pee change me! And I would say: No that's not how it works! If you're going to expect to be changed after every single pee you need to start peeing in the potty.  (Of course she understood me perfectly.) She's even pooped in the potty a couple of times. Though it's been against her will. She'll start on the potty but then start crying because it hurts and she'll want me to put a diaper on her, but I make her stay on and she goes! Saturday we went and bought her a new doll. She picked out the doll that came with her own toilet that had poop and pee in it! And we bought her some underwear! She was so happy and excited. Monday and Tuesday she went to daycare and didn't have any accidents! She even did well at her gym class!  And speaking of gym, she just continues to amaze me how quickly she picks it all up. She can nearly propel her self under and over the bar using her legs. And she gets so excited knowing that she's going to the gym. When I pick her up from daycare and ask her: where are we going today? She says: the gym? And when I say yes she just starts to laugh out loud. It's so cute. I promised her that if she went pee in the potty that she can take dance class like sister so she's been excited about that... I've also been thinking about enrolling Bea in gymnastics again (she's been dying to go and 'watch' sister.) it would be especially nice to have them in classes on the same day maybe overlapping time if not the same time... we'll see... Wish I had an unlimited amount of money to enroll the girls in all these classes that they love so much.
