News Alert!!!

I wasn't going to post today, but I have some exciting news. During bath tonight Maddy kept saying she had to go #2 in the potty so we would let her sit on the potty. We thought it was just a game she was playing and originally said no to the last time but she acted as if she was really about to go potty and she did not want to potty in the tub so we let her go and what do ya know...i look down and see stuff in the potty. I was so excited. This is the first official time for me that she has said she had to potty and actually went. She is backwards in her potty training though. She will not pee in the potty...she holds it until she gets in the tub but she is all about going #2 in there. I know that is ok and in a lot of ways better because that is the hardest part. I just know we are starting this potty training thing full force and I'm hoping this means she will start going in the potty more frequently.
Our day primarily consisted of finishing up our shopping. I will have to go back a little later in the season because OshKosh for the first time did not have much available in her size. It was as if someone came and took all the 2T's out. I got her some adorable blue jeans from the Old Navy outlet that I can't wait to get pics of. Today she did not ask for paci as much...she only asked approximately two times. She even took a nap in the car along the way, instead of waiting until she is exhausted. Maddy really is the best baby (i will always call her my baby) I have ever seen. Yes, we go through the fits just like every other toddler but that is part of life and part of learning. Her school said she is trying hard to say her bible verse and I was working with her on saying it and she ended up saying the last word. The verse is, "When I am afraid I will trust in God." I must admit I got very emotional because it is so important to me that she learn about God and Jesus while she is growing. She is becoming a little girl more and more everyday and she is just an amazing person.
