Ok, well even in my darkest hours Natalie knows how to light up the world and remind of how awesome it all is. First and foremost, NATALIE SAID MOMMAA!!!!! I have been working on this forever. I know she has said it 1 time before but that was like 2 years ago! She never said it again and there were NO witnesses so my dh said it didn't count. But now, she has said it for the last 3 days!!!

2nd, I haven't been too pressing with potty training. Just sort of easing her into the idea. Well, she got it pretty quick. No, we're not all done yet. But, yesterday I noticed her diaper was a bit wet. I grabbed one and walked her way, flashed diaper and said lay so mommy can change you. She walked past me and I was like, ok, where's she going? I turned and follow her thinking bedroom. NOPE! Natalie walked to the bathroom doorway and said "pot". I turned on the light, lifted her over, took off diaper, and she climbed on her potty, and PEED! I was so thrilled.

Now, the 3rd one, Natalie hasn't had a BOTTLE all day! She's had a sippy cup! Now, this is HUGE! Natalie wouldn't even look at a cup a month ago. A week ago I tried and she refused and demanded a "BA" and "MIK". Today, was successful! I'm hoping we're done! Oh, and Tyler hasn't had one EITHER! So, that's 2 kids off bottle in ONE DAY! Let's hope tomorrow is just as good!

Wow, 3 in one!!! I can't wait until Talitha says mum. That is a real achievement Natalie. And using the potty - without any prompting, that is awesome. And using a sippy cup instead of a bottle, so very grown up. Natalie ROCKS!!

How wonderful Tracy! I remember when she said Momma the first time. I'm so glad she said it again. Good luck with the bottles. Sometimes I think they must be harder to give up than heroin. LOL

Natalie, You are such a big girl! Once you have the hang of the potty thing, maybe you can make a trip to South Dakota to teach me how to do it! Mommy told me that I am just a few months younger than you, and that we are going to start this whole "potty" thing soon, but only if I'm ready. (Should I be ready?!) It would be fun to meet you someday. For now, Mommy will just have to show me pictures of you on the computer.

Have a good day!
From Rylee
