Potty training

Well, I tried to wait until she was ready to start using the bathroom, but I could see that wasn't happening anytime soon with Meredith. I couldn't be so lucky as to have 2 children who potty train themselves, so the other day I just decided it was time. Meredith was not happy because, as she screamed, "I LOVE MY DIAPEY!! I LOVE MY DIAPEY!" I felt terrible and almost gave in to her, but I am really glad I didn't because we are well on our way to being completely trained! She has had a few accidents, but she is doing so well. She tells me when she has to go, and most of the time she makes it to the toilet before it's too late. The only downfall is she now has a secret weapon against me, and she now knows that I will drop everything I am doing the second I hear that little voice say, "I need to go pee pee." Meredith even figured this out when she is going to bed at night. Last night she sat on the toilet for 45 minutes saying she had to go pee pee (and she went a couple times, but I knew it was mostly because she didn't want to go to sleep yet!) It's crazy how quickly they grow up!
