Spaghetti Please!

Tonight after work Fer & I rushed off to Elliott's "school" for Parent-Teacher night and circle time. Its when we get to find out how great our kid is, how much everyone at school loves her, and that she's the smartest. Its pretty cool, I won't lie. We talked all about her bump and gash she got while climbing the slide and missing a step (she'll live). She showed me Pepper the BIG bunny that is her classroom mascot and proceded to shove her tiny little hand through the metal cage to touch it over and over again, making her wrist & hand swell and having no problem with pepper acting out a little in the meantime. Maybe we have a future vet in our midst?

But the real topic, the only place so far that Bean is not far surpassing everyone around her, is potty training. I know i know, she just turned 2 BUT, the concept has been there, so now at school they try to get them to go potty. Her teacher was telling me how she talkes about going potty, but only plays pretend with it. Which is kinda the same way she's been at home. No real interest in the Sesame Street potty, Princesses potty, or Care Bear pull-ups. UNTIL tonight.

I thought i'd change it up a bit in my approach, so we talked about it, tried them out, found out she likes 1 better than the other for comfort (princess won) and we tried before and after her bath. AND just as I was about to give up, she went tinkle in her potty!!!! The look of shock and awe on her face, and I am sure the grin on my grill was outstanding. I think we have a kid ready to start potty training. As a mom, it was super thrilling.

Here's to more bathroom function talk (like there's not enough around here already) and less diaper rash. Every parent's dream........
