big girl

I just had to write about your potty training progress. You've been using your big girl potty for weeks now and are doing a fantastic job. You have even gone poop on the potty twice in the last week!! We are so proud of you. You tell us when you need to go and when we're out in public, as long as we have your portable Dora potty, you'll use a public restroom. You get homemade popsicles, frozen fruit, or a Starburst when you go potty. When you go poop you get a fruit snack. You clap for yourself every time you go on the potty and want to go tell whomever will listen that you used the potty. You've started watching a few videos recently. They include Blues Clues, Muzzy, and of course Elmo and Baby Einstein. They are all entertaining to you and you like to switch it up. Grama is coming out to visit you in about a week so I'm sure you'll be having much more fun soon. You've been a little depressed because Pippa hasn't been around very much. Her mom just had her baby a week ago and things have been hectic for their family. You actually brought me the telephone today and asked to call Pippa. She wasn't home but she called you back in the afternoon and you two chatted for a few minutes. Of course it was adorable. Hopefully you will get to see her this week. We've been gardening a lot and you love to pick the cherry and grape tomatoes off the vine and eat them as well as the blackberrries. You are starting to put your own shoes on and can take off most of the clothing items. You can also pedal a tricycle now, better backwards than forwards but that will come. I just wanted to give an update to what you are doing now and let you know how proud of you we are!

Love you.
