We are pleased to announce that our little girl appears to be potty trained!! Last week, she was moved into the 2B classroom at daycare (basically, the 2 1/2 year olds) and they have a rule of no diapers. 
We were advised to bring extra underwear and lots of extra pants and there would only be pull ups worn during nap. Although she had an accident once a day for a couple of days, by the end of the week, things were going very well! She went accident free all day Thursday and Friday. On Saturday, Brenna and I met Aunt Jamie for some shopping and I was anxious about doing the potty training thing while we would be out and about all day. We visited the bathroom of every store in the shopping center, many times with no luck. Finally, at Kohl's, we found a family style bathroom that had a grown-up toilet and a little toilet. Brenna was excited that there was a little toilet that was just her size. Mommy and Aunt Jamie were very happy for her!! Brenna is much more aware of the urge to go and instead of having a full accident, she'll run to the potty. I have to admit that I'd been pretty lazy about the whole thing - hoping that she'd eventually just "get it". Sometimes it was easier to just change a diaper or pull up than deal with the trouble of finding a toilet. While she's still in pull ups at night, she is definitely making great progress and we are so proud of her!

Way to go Brenna (and mommy)! Potty training is not always a walk in the park so you have every right to be elated!
That is the cutest face ever.
Hooray for Brianne!!!
I totally remember you guys! I'm glad I could help spread the word about Becky.
Your blog is beautiful!!!
So I completely stumbled upon your page in some weird chain of going to other people's pages and seeing their links! This is Crystal (was McCollum) from Show Low---I was in Jamie's grade :)
I just had to comment--when I opened this page, my little one, Lia (who is almost 3) just started cracking up and said "Look at that face! She's so silly!" when she saw this picture! :) And then laughs and makes the same face!
I'll have to catch up and read your blog--Your little family is so cute!
Crystal (Ghirardi now) :)
Hey Jennifer-I am sooo glad that you found our blog:) It was fun reading about your little family. I love this blogging thing. I have had so many friends from the past get in touch with me from this. OF COURSE you can put our link on your page. I will do the same:) I see your mother-in-law at the bank every once in a while. It is fun to see familiar faces and be reminded that there is life outside of Butlerville. Just kidding. I am glad you found us. I will look forward to keeping in touch:)
