We interupt this blog to bring you a special announcement from the bathroom...

FAITH WENT PEE PEE IN THE POTTY!!!!!!!!!

Here she is, just after all the excitement, wearing big girl undies and playing with her prize!

Until tonight, Faith has had zero interest in the potty.

Not wanting to stress her out, I haven't pressed the subject.

She's pooped in the potty a couple times over the last few months, but never peed. Until she woke up from naps today dry and was excited about the idea of using the potty. So we rolled with it! The three kids and I crammed in the bathroom to wait and cheer her on. I kept the juice flowing, fed Ruth, and read lots of books while we waited and waited. Faith refused to give up, she was content sitting and trying. She tried so hard, and kept saying, "This hard." But even when I gave her opportunities to stop and come back to try later, she still told me she wanted to stay on the potty and keep trying. An almost an hour later, when Daddy got home, she had victory!!!!  THREE times!! Woo Hoo, Faith!!!

We made a big deal out of it. Big brother congratulated her, too. And then we went to get some M&Ms and pick out a prize from the prize box she helped me make a few months ago - she picked out all the prizes that she wanted to win. And she picked out her big girl undies, too. 

Here's hoping Faith's excitement continues and tomorrow we make even more progress. We just might have  only one kid in diapers this summer.... whoo hoo!
