The Princess is sitting on the pot, a very familiar place these days. She's babbling in a sing-song voice, and I gently remind her that it's time to go potty.
"Boddy," she says, her voice low and her tone questioning. She meets my eyes as a grin spreads from ear to ear.
"That's right, Princess. It's potty time."

These moments are few and far between, and this particular word - like so many others in the past - has not appeared again since. Nonetheless, she said it. And I'll never forget the look on her face when she realized it came out how she had intended.
Priceless.
Small steps, Mom. Enjoy every second!

ReplyDeleteWe're going to be working on toileting this summer. Eyes on the prize -- I'm not looking forward to the process, but I am so ready to begin to move beyond diapering. Eight and a half years, it's been (since the birth of my older daughter!)
Yay Princess!!! So wonderful to hear about her successes. So proud of that little girl!
