I need to go!

Ahh...those four words....music to a toddler's Mom's ears.

The little gal has been a champ on the old porcelain throne.  I am so proud.  Can you sense my excitement?  We have been in "big girl panties" for days now.  Even in public.

Note: If you don't want to hear gushy reenactments of toilet training...this post is not for you.

We have been going on and off with toilet training for months...starting and stopping...so on and so forth.  Pull ups...no pull ups...candy no candy....the list goes on.

Ever since we got Doodle the Poodle, it was like a light bulb went off in the little one's head.  She just got it.  Not sure if the dog actually helped....I talk about #1 & #2 all day long...so maybe it just reinforced it.

And today....well, today was another first.  She went in public.  In the restroom of course.  

So, I am happy to say...that I won't have to be spending money on diapers any more.  She will of course wear them at night...and naps...and an occasional time.  But, I think we are there.  And I couldn't be happier....and neither could she.

Need to go potty?  Those words ring in my head as I am falling asleep every night.  I need to get one of those stroke counters....like little old lady golfers have.  Just so I can keep count of how many times I actually say it in one day. 

Ahhh.....what a delightful subject.
