Potty Trained!

For the past few months we've been talking to Katie about using the potty.  We're learning that she needs to think and talk about something for a while before she works up the courage to try it.  Finally, the day before we came home from our trip, she made up her mind and said, "Mommy, I don't want to wear diapies anymore."  And the next day she was going on the potty!  She was really ready (and seeing all her older cousins doing it probably helped too).  Within 2 days she was wearing big girl panties and has had maybe 2 accidents total.  Here she is proudly standing in front of her potty with her favorite doll, Baby Allie, who is wearing a new dress from my parents (a great incentive!) complete with panties of her own.  We're so proud of our big girl!
