"She may be potty trained, but she'll have 16 cavities!"

Just since Thursday, we have had a ton of success potty training Bennett! Wow, has she made some strides! The first couple of times, she was a little nervous and scared, but after that, she was extremely proud of herself! She has also had a fun few days of treats like Dora fruit snacks, new soap for the bathroom, stickers, beanie babies, etc. for all of her potty training success.  Hence the quote above! haha Thanks to Grandma Joje for providing a lot of those treats.   We have gone from setting the timer every 30 minutes and sitting on the potty, to her actually recognizing the feeling and telling me, "mommy, I need to go to the potty now!" She has even stayed dry during her nap, which has never happened before.  And today, she was in her bed at nap time not sleeping for about a half hour, then she called me in saying she had to go to the potty.  I thought for sure it was just a trick tactic to get out of her bed, but she actually went! She's truly understanding the feeling, and we're on our way.  She loves wearing her Dora and Halloween panties from Nana and Papa too, and she's extremely proud of keeping them dry!  We are so thrilled for our big girl!!!! :)


Here's a picture of Bennett with her last two boxes of diapers.  We connected them and made them into a train that she can give her beanie babies and dolls rides in (we thought Great-Grandpa Caskey would be proud!)

We also went to the Cardinals game last night.  Although the results were very disappointing, we had great seats (thanks Pa!) and we all had fun.  Bennett LOVED searching for Fred Bird, and was a good girl at the game.  Here are a couple of cute family pictures from last night...



Also, on the baby update front, I had my 24 week appointment on Friday.  Everything sounded great, but I am measuring a week big.  The doc said that this little boy is definitely going to be bigger than Bennett was (NOOOO!).  :)
