The Big Girl Potty and Princess Backpacks, Oh My!

The catch-up posts are still coming. But I had to get this posted: it's a major milestone. Amelia, the smartest, cutest, most amazing little wonder, is doing her business on the big girl potty. Here's the low down... On Wednesday Mia *possibly* (but I don't think so) went a drop of potty in the big girl potty. But she was SO excited, so we decided to "go with it." So Thursday she got to go to Target and get her Disney princess backpack. She was in heaven. She was sitting on the potty often but always ending up with a soaked pull-up. Friday morning she went through two pull-ups... then about 12:30 pm, she did it! She went potty on the big girl potty!!! She was so proud of herself, and I was ecstatic! We called Daddy, we called both Poppa Damas, we called everyone. She put on her Dora undies. Real cotton undies. So dang'd cute. And she got a little treat. So then she was all about trying to potty-and it kept working. She pottied a few times and she kept her undies dry. Dry, dry, dry. We put her in a pull-up at bedtime.
The girls were at the Huber cabin this weekend with Poppa Dama and I guess she did pretty good with going potty. And tonight... drum roll, please... with no prompting she ran to the bathroom and pooped! It's been non-stop happy dances. I am SO SO SO proud of her, and SO SO SO happy for no more diaper changes for Miss Mia. She's huge, and it's crazy how big she is-but it doesn't make me sad. She's just so amazing. I love you, Mia Bean. My big girl.
