Yikes I can't believe how time flys!

Wow! Miranda is going to be two and half next month and I can't believe how she has developed into a little lady. A major accomplishment has come in this last week. Last weekend, we spent at home going pee pee on the potty. We went from the diapers to panties! Last week at school, Miranda was dry everytime they took her to put her on the potty. They suggested if we were ready to start the potty training with panties give it a go. We have been doing the training with just diapers, but now is the true test moving to the panties. Over the weekend she did well. We only had one accident a day. Both days it was of course towards the end of the day when Keen, Miranda and I just lost track of when the last time we went.

Okay, Monday we took Miranda to school and had the talk about telling her teachers when she needed to go pee pee on the potty. She did great! No accidents Monday, Tuesday and Thursday! Wednesday and Friday we had poop issues but made it to the potty for pee! What a great week! Miranda is doing very well. Okay now for the true test, can we take Miranda out to run arrands on the weekend and be able to keep up with the potty breaks. Wow! What a chore! Every stop we went to the bathroom, everytime we left a place we went to the bathroom. The funny thing about it was she went everytime. I have to say, she was a little scared of the auto flush systems at first. The first time we went into a bathroom she sat down and then it flushed and she jumped right off! Thank god she wasn't peeing yet. We had a couple accidents where she told me she had to go and then didn't make it there in time, but she did tell us which was great. The major accomplishment......poop on the potty. Of all places we were shopping in Macy's and she told us she had to poop. Off we went, and she sure did and sat patiently till she was all done. It was funny, Keenan keep asking her if she was done and she kept telling him, I'm not done daddy! Business was taken care of... What a major accomplishment! Just in a week. I'm sure the next month will bring more accidents, but the start of potty training has been pretty smooth sailing.

I can't believe I'm posting about potty training. I never thought I would be talking about this so much, but I'm so proud of Miranda, she has become such a little lady.
