Pee Pee on the Potty!

I'ts been a few days since I've posted. Obviously the most exciting news is Ava's little squirt in the potty, but we'll get to that in a little bit.

She's been doing great these last few days. I have a feeling her molars are coming in... We gave her Tylenol on Thursday night as she was quite whiny and was putting her fingers in her mouth alot. We also let her chew on the teethers (she calls them "ice") and they seemed to help out. I found her a new bath towel at Target and she had a fun time wearing it around the house.

On Friday, I had a couple of friends over to play some games. Ava enjoyed their visit until her bedtime, but she was very shy. She refused to say their names until I was changing her diaper on Saturday morning... talk about delayed!

Saturday night, Joe and I went out on a date so Grampa Tony and Nanny Vicki babysat. Apparantly, she had them in stiches all night long. Nanny said Ava kept saying, "Hi Nanny, Hi Bumpa" over and over again. She didn't eat much dinner for them and took awhile to fall asleep. She tangled Nanny into her web of a bedtime routine. She had to fall asleep with her blankie, "moony", baby and 2 paci's!

The best news of the weekend happened approximately at 6pm tonight. Ava occasionally sits on her potty when I'm in the restroom. Tonight she went in there to sit on it so I took of her diaper and told her to go. She did! Just a little squirt but she did it. It was pretty funny, because I think the little squirt freaked her out. She was facinated with it in the potty and had to touch it to be sure it was "wet". I'm sure we have a long road ahead of us with the training but at least she has some idea of what the potty is used for.

We have a busy week ahead of us before Christmas arrives. A few last minute gifts to buy and a menu to create for Joe's mom's visit on Saturday night. We're also excited about my sister and her family arriving this coming Friday. We have so many things planned!!!
