Milestones

Mommy decided today that I'm going to be potty trained. After yesterday when I decided to hold it when sitting on the potty only to pee in my diaper two minutes later, she took away my diapers. I tried putting one on myself, but she took me to the potty instead. I really like peeing and pooping in my diapers. Unfortunately, Mommy's putting her foot down, so I'm going in the potty. I don't like accidents and don't have very many. It doesn't sound like we'll be going far from home for a week or so, though, if Mom won't give me anymore Pull-ups or diapers.

I'm a little hesitant about all this growing up stuff. I don't sit in a high chair much anymore. I'm learning to stay in my booster during meals and keep my feet off the table. I don't use bibs much. I only get a little messy. I usually start out sleeping in the big girl bed but I have a hard time staying in bed these days. So I end up sleeping in the crib, even though I can climb out of it. The old familiar is comfortable, kind of like my old familiar diapers. And my old familiar blankie and nuk that are hard to give up. Mom and Dad are making me keep them on my bed. That's been tough!

I'm off to play outside, my favorite place to be. It's a beautiful day!

[Mom notes that her response when told it was time to go inside was a five-word sentence which garnered her more playtime strictly based on length of utterance overlooking the excess of attitude. "No, play outside little more."]
