Potty Times for our Babe!

Last Friday Mei stripped down for her bath and, as always, I asked her if she needed to go potty before getting in. Her usual reply is a grouchy "NO!". This time however she said "ummmmm"...long pause...then "meimi get teets!?". I said "yes you can have treats if you peepee on the potty". So this time without pause she rushes to the kitchen and dives into our off-limits-to-kids-drawer-of-treats (it's such a tease because it's like the lowest level drawer we have...it's really not fair frankly). She returns with this whole stash...

after organizing the "teets" over and over again...she settles in and waits...

...and waits...(her belly makes such a great arm rest)

and moments later she bounces up and says "meimi did it!!!!!!!" (I wasn't ready hence the blur!)

It sinks in and this genuinely proud face emerges...

and immediately she looks for her high five:)

she ran to get the boys to show off her big news...they trailed her into the bathroom while she was yelling "Asty yook! meimi did it! ohhh my gosh! yook at dat daddy!!"

aston was her biggest supporter...was so sweet to witness as their Mom...he gave her hugs and high fives all over the place...

and then it's time for the "teet" (big gummy from the Asian store...her final choice)

and THEN this morning she did it again but it was more like she was running around and had the urge (I already had her diaper off to let her run around naked)...she only had this princess skirt on...:)

man! I just noticed that finger! yikes...don't take it personally...I'm sure she means nothing by it:)

We love you Stell and are so very very proud.

****POTTY UPDATE: on saturday 4.16.11 she pooped in the potty for the first time!  I was getting my hair done so I missed it sadly:(  Apparently she was so excited she jumped up before finishing:)

such a fun time now that i'm going through it. at this point eve like doesn't even get the reward thing it's like i force them on her. i'm kind of being lazy. need to tighten it up/put her in undies full time maybe? she's so wishy washy. no poop yet.
