Potty Time!

This picture is of Gwyneth the first time she sat on her toilet about 3 weeks ago. She had been pulling her pants down and saying, "I want toilet" so I got out her potty and started letting her sit on it. She actually has her diaper on here. Then, whenever she'd say she wanted toilet, I'd put her on it and just see if she'd actually go... which until now has always been nothing. Like I said, until now... Today is the first day that we put her on the toilet and she actually peed!! Yeah! So, I know that I shouldn't get my hopes up about her being potty trained by next week and I am totally laid back about it, but I thought this momentous occasion should at least be documented. This toilet plays a song when sensors in the bottom get wet so when she went, of course, the song started playing. Then she was so happy about it that she stayed on the toilet for several more minutes and kept saying, "I want song! I want toilet! I want song!" Eric tried to explain that the human body doesn't make pee on demand so she'd have to wait until next time she needed to go potty but she still kicked and screamed a little when Eric took her off the toilet.

So I haven't blogged in a long, long while so I thought I'd throw a few more pictures in this post while I'm at it. Like this one of Brooklyn and Gwyneth, after they'd pulled all the books off of the shelf and were quietly looking at them in her bedroom. I love it when they play this well together.

Poor Frankie and Roscoe, but especially Frankie because he's the more playful dog and he doesn't run away when Gwyneth comes near like Roscoe does. He gets tormented by Gwyneth on a daily basis. I was quick enough to be able to snap proof of this torture so when Gwyneth tries to tell me she was a perfect little sweetheart... boom! Out comes this picture! (She is pulling his hair and he is whining a little.)
I laughed so hard when I saw Gwyneth come out of her room with this Barbie dress on her head. She loved her newfound hat! She is a goofy little girl! Whenever Eric tells her she is goofy, she says, "I goopy!" Why can't they stay this cute forever?!
