I started getting hard core with Elle about using the potty about a week and half ago and, well, she has risen to the occasion! It's kind of amazing to see how kids can sometimes just meet those expectations you set for them, even when you think you may be setting the bar a little high.
I wasn't sure she was ready to go straight to underwear, but after about 4 days of only one "accident" a day, and a healthy fear of using public bathrooms (shouldn't we all be a little scared of public bathrooms?) she is using the potty like a champ, at home, in stores, at the park, and sometimes even calling out in the middle of the night
"I HAVE TO GO POTTY!!!!"
Yah, that part sucks a bit. 98% of me wants to just yell back
"JUST GO IN YOUR NIGHTTIME DIAPER, I'M TOO LAZY TO GET OUT OF BED RIGHT NOW."
Oops, did I say that out loud? Don't judge me. Kyle pondered if she was ready for a big girl bed yet, so she might be able to get out of bed on her own to go potty in the middle of the night. Yah, he totally said that. Does he not remember that in 4.5 months we're going to be begging for the days of waking up just once a night? Guess not. I won't tell him if you don't.
Anyway, here is Elle in all her glory....

She is a big girl!
Hope to meet the little tot someday.
yeah!!!..Elle is "officially a princess"! Of course I noticed the Ariel underwear she is holding. Enjoy it now because in about 2 years she will be wearing Hannah Montana underwear..
Also, where is the carriage cover to protect her from those nasty germs?
