Big news!

Just when I thought nothing new was going to happen, Rebecca surprised us all.
For a month or so Rebecca has been telling us when she has to poop - she taps her tummy with both hands. We've set her on the potty but she never does anything. Then as soon as I put her diaper back on she will go. But late night she told us she had to go, she started pushing (her face turns all red - it's so cute!), so I rushed her over to the potty and she went! I sat with her for about 10 minutes and even read a few books. It was so exciting! I know she is not going to be potty trained over night, but at least she understands a little better now what it means to "poop in the potty" and she seems to enjoy it all.
Rebecca is just shy of 18 months so I really think she could be potty trained by 2 years.

  1. I know she is just a baby but by the look on her face she seems to know that pictures of someone on the potty is not cool;)
