all "grown up" this week

I decided that Monday was going to be the first day with no bottle. I was going to wait till 2 years but in the last couple of weeks Brooklyn went from asking for her bottle only 2 a day to asking at least 50 times a day. I knew everyday that passed was only going to make it harder. Monday morning came and she asked and i had the "talk" with her. It was a rough morning but improved throughout the day. This morning has already gone much smoother.


Also this morning i told Brooklyn "no more pee pee and poo poo in the diaper, only in the potty." We went to the store first thing this morning and i let her pick out "potty toys". I bought a basket and let her fill it with toys and books that she can play with with sitting on the potty only. I also bought stickers and a poster board to make a potty chart. I let her help me color it and i explained that every time she uses the potty she can put a sticker on the chart and we hung it in the bathroom where she can reach it. So from 6:30 this morning till right now at 11:45 Brooklyn has put all her pee and poo in the potty. she has worn her big girl underwear all morning with no accidents! I am not saying that she is completely trained but she is well on her way...she just gets it!
