Mommy Log: Day 4 (10 hits – 3 outside the house!)
Aunt Erica gave Annada a make-over: complete with pink toes and a bra. Annada was so proud. (I figured if these posts are going to mortify Annada in 16 years, I might as well go all the way.)
Today’s highlight was going to the pediatrician. It was Annada’s first trip outside of the house since beginning potty training. There is a toddler-sized potty there and I was hoping it would help Annada go away from home.
And it worked. No problem. We checked in, visited the bathroom, Annada peed. I only gave this whole potty training thing like a 40% chance of success. But this is awesome!
Her doctor walked almost as soon as we got into a room (I love Dr. Nielson!). And as soon as she did, Annada turned to me and said, “Potty, Mommy. Potty.” I didn’t know what to do. Annada pipped up again, “Pee pee!”
Dr. N laughed and told me this sounded serious and to go. We took off for the potty and… she went! We went back to the exam room as fast as we could. 5 minutes later, yep, Annada was asking to go again. And again she went. Oh, I am grateful for a patient doctor!
I do wonder if I had taken my time the first time she asked if the second time would have happened. But, oh well. We are both learning.
Vital stats: Annada is now 33 inches tall and 25.2 pounds. That means she lost some weight and grew 2 inches. Which is healthy and on par for Marc’s family and mine. It does explain why she fits into old clothes again. And is too tall for others. Personally, I think this new look is adorable! She looks more and more like a little girl.
We did have quite a few misses today. Or half-misses. We stopped counting. Annada would pee just a little, stop herself, come tell us and then go the rest on the potty. I am encouraged how aware she is. Hopefully with a little more time she can figure out how to tell us 30 seconds sooner. Meanwhile, I’m doing a lot of laundry. And as far as pooping goes, well Marc is hoping tomorrow goes better.
