Potty Traning Complete





I hope I do not regret typing this, but I think Ella is officially potty trained. It has been a long 2 weeks, but we are almost there. We left the house this weekend with big girl panties on and had zero accidents. I was shocked. The only problem is when she goes to the potty in public restrooms you have to wait for her to leave the stall before flushing the toilet. The flushing scares her to death. I am sure the other people in the stalls think I am crazy when I say, " honey I will not flush the toilet."

Our weekend was pretty uneventful, but productive. I have been wanting to hang a collage of pictures of the kids and we finally got around to it. Thanks so much to Julie and the wonderful pictures she has taken over the last couple of years. It is so neat to see all of the black and white pictures of the kids. I can compare Parker and Ella's similarities and differences. There are alot of things about them as babies that are similar. I think both kids are a great mix of both Brad and I. Everyone thinks Ella looks alot like me and many ways she does, especially when I was her age, however I also see alot of Brad in her too. Parker has so many changes still to make before I can really tell who he looks more like.

Ella is full of 100 questions like... What did you do today? What color is it? What are they doing? What are you eating? Do you need to clean it? Then there are her demands. Sit here. Stop talking or dancing. I need to go bye bye. I need to eat. I need juice. I need to play basketball. I need dinner. Does she really NEED it. I think NOT. My only purpose in life according to Ella is to fulfill her every need at all times even if Parker has not eaten in hours. Poor girl is learning that this does not happen.
