Potty Training...its a whole new crazy world

Well, our first post is a doozy.  Ellie decided that she wanted to use the "big girl" potty on Saturday afternoon.  After a couple of failed attempts on Saturday, we hit gold on Sunday at Portrait Innovations in their public bathroom during her outfit change for her two year old pictures.  Oh yes, a public bathroom!  Ellie had several other successes on Sunday, plus about 25 other attempts, leading to 30 times for her pregnant mother to get up and down off the tile floor to help her.

We are pretty excited about this new development and will keep you updated.

We did get some great pictures from her Portrait session, which I will add here after we get them uploaded.  She didn't really like getting her picture taken.  We got about 8 usable shots, including one we kept with her pouting, lips pursed in the midst of saying "I don't want to".  Its pretty hilarious.

Otherwise, we are trying to stay inside out of the 100 degree heat all week.  :)
