Go Phoebe, Go!

The time change has been particularly rough. Charlotte won't fall asleep until 9 or 9:30, and both girls are wiped out when we go in to wake them up in the morning.

This morning, it took some major coaxing to get Phoebe out of bed. She just wouldn't budge. Meanwhile, I picked out her clothes to do something productive while she woke herself up.

Finally, I picked her up, plopped her on the changing table, and proceeded to change her. Her diaper was dry. Dry after nearly 12 hours!

I immediately grabbed her and put her on the little training seat that fits in the toilet.* She sat there, while I grabbed a cup of warm water, thinking that might do something. But before I could do anything, she went!

All of us, including Charlotte, made a huge deal out of it. "Phoebe!" we exclaimed over and over again. "You went peepee in the potty!"

I honestly don't think she has any idea what she did, but hooray! And just three days shy of her second birthday.

Go Phoebe!**

*We used one of the little potties with Charlotte, but this time, we're going to try and only use the little insert. Much less mess and I hope gives the message that going potty means the big potty. We'll see.

**I'm super excited for her, but this didn't seem the appropriate thing to announce on Facebook. So blog readers, thanks for indulging me. :)
