Woo hoo!

Charlotte reached another milestone today!!! She went pee-pee on the potty! (Sorry to use the mommy language, but what am I supposed to say? She urinated in the toilet.)

Greg was changing her diaper this a.m. right before he left for work, when she saw her Elmo potty cushion on the shelf, and said "Elmo seat, Elmo seat, please!" (Thanks Gramma by the way!) I said sure, not really expecting anything to happen as we want to take this process really slow and we just want her to get comfortable with the process. Anyway, I grabbed two of her books anyway just so I could read to her to keep her mind focused off of sitting on the toilet. I'm in the middle of reading "Barnyard Dance" and Greg is wishing us goodbye when we heard the wonderful sound of pee going into the toilet (a scary sound for Charlotte by the way, as her face was kind of like, What did I just do, was I supposed to do that?) Greg and I totally hooped and hollered and cheered for her and Charlotte's face beamed up and she started clapping! And of course, she got three M&M's for doing the deed!!!

Yeah Charlotte!!!

I'll post a picture of her flushing the toilet later.

Way to go Charlotte! I tried to get Joshua to sit on the toilet and he fought me, I guess he isn't ready yet!
