Yippeeeeeee!!!

Alli had such a great day today as far as potty training goes. Really, I'm not even sure we should use the phrase "potty training" when it comes to her because we didn't do any "training" she's pretty much done it all herself. It just clicked for her and that was it. Since she started going in the potty, she has not had many accidents but we were still putting her in pullups for naps and bedtime. Well, for the past week or so, she's been waking up completely dry from naps and in the morning so I decided to brave it today and keep her in her panties for nap time ~ she took an almost 3 hour nap and woke up dry!!!! Hooray! She was so proud of herself and I was thrilled :) Another huge step forward was her pooping on the potty this evening (yes, my life is now revolving around bodily functions!) For some reason, she has been afraid to do this but we told her that once she starts doing it, she can pick out a new stroller for her babies. Apparently, she really wants this because she has stopped holding it in and was willing to go. Hopefully, it will continue. Assuming it does, and we can do away with the pullups at night, she will be completely through with any type of diaper. This is so exciting! We cannot believe how quickly she has become a little girl ~ no more baby or even toddler.

In other news, Eli is doing great and still eating and sleeping like a little champ! The little sweetie even gave us a 5.5 hour stretch last night ~ talk about a nice treat!!!

We have the greatest kiddos! I took the cutest picture of the two of them in their PJs this evening that I will post later (once I upload it). Alli is holding Eli and they looked so sweet.

That was our excitement today, I promise that future posts will not completely revolve around potty stories ;-)
