Emma's big girl bed and other big girl attempts....

Here's her first night in big girl bed.

Last weekend Emma fell out of her crib for the first and last time. So she moved into her big girl bed that night.

Each night since she's been getting that much better and getting more used to the change.
Here we were last night reading in her bed.

I put her in today for her nap and snuck up to her door to find her reading her books to herself. I just had to get a picture. :)
I'd say she's doing pretty good with the change.


Emma also got her 'big girl' potty. She hasn't actually 'gone' inside the potty but she has fun with the idea of sitting on it and grabbing toilet paper to pretend to wipe herself...along with wiping up the floor. Seriously, if anyone has good advice of how to start potty training and what you found to be effective I would appreciate the tips :) I'll be honest, kind of overwhelming. Isn't she so cute sitting so proud on her big girl potty? I think so.

Wow, you guys are brave! Let us know how everything goes. Ava will probably be in a crib and diapers until she is 12! She has NO interest in potty training right now. But our new church building has a "mini" bathroom to the side of the nursery that caught her attention today. It has a tiny toilet and sink that she thought was pretty cool, so maybe she will want to try it someday:)
Good Luck!

Wow, I can't believe how grown up she is getting! I guess we're kind of out of the loop... Hopefully someday we'll live closer (:

so for delila the last 2 months i have let her run around in the nude in our house for a couple hours in the morning. first thing in the morning i take her potty cause that is what we do right? so she goes and before bed as well. anyway i am starting gung-ho potty training this next week. but while delila is in the nude i ask her every 5 min about if she has to go potty. and in the middle of that i ask her WHERE DOES YOUR PEEPEE GO AND WHERE DOES YOUR POOPOO GO? she tells me. so since doing that we have had zero accidents. we will see how next week goes. GOOD LUCK!! im gradually working delila up to full time undies. if emma is ready she will get it.
