Dear Sunshine

Dear Sunshine,

You are the most amazing little girl about going on the potty.  We taught you a sign for potty and now anytime you have to go you make the sign and say ‘pa pa’ and we put you on the potty.  We got you this new one that goes on top of the big potty because you seemed to be more interested in the big potty instead of the little potty we bought you.  Also we can take it with us so you can fit on the potty at Walmart or where ever we are.  You are down to about 3 dirty diapers a day so I think you will be out of diapers in the next few months for good.  Sometimes you even go through your naps without wetting and I don’t think I’ve changed a poopy diaper in at least a week.  I’m proud of you little girl.

Dear Sunny Rae,

Call us crazy but we bought you a potty seat last week and well lets just say it was a brilliant idea.  Right when we got home from the store we sat you on it and asked if you had to pee.  Sitting there anxiously daddy saw you put your hand in the potty and when you pulled it out it was wet!  1st try you peed right in the potty seat.  You have now been peeing and even pooping in the potty like an expert really.  You crawl over to the potty and we put you on it and most of the time you pee.  Obviously you still are in diapers and are still peeing and pooping in them but we just thought we would get the ball rolling on potty training as we saw signs that you were ready, and we were absolutely right.  Mommy and daddy could not be more proud of you little girl.  It seems like getting you potty trained will be easier than we expected.
