First No. 1

You know you are a parent when bodily functions take on magnified significance and importance. It was true when I religiously tracked Katrina's poop color as a function of time as a newborn and it's true now that Katrina has officially "used the potty" for the first time. We have a little green and white little potty seat with a removable tray that Katrina has shown interest in on and off for the past 3 months. For the past week or so, we've made it a routine to sit on the potty when we get up and before we go to bed, and we read a few books along the way. Today, Katrina actually peed in the potty!!

I was convinced she would be really surprised when it happened, based on her reaction to a few naked baby accidents on the floor we've had over the past year or so, but we didn't know until she stood up and there it was. I'm so proud. I can't wait until she does something that doesn't involve voluntary muscle control...

This is when life gets really exciting. Potty training is tough but so much fun at the same time. Watching her grow into this stage is amazing.

Oh wow!! Congratulations!! You're totally inspiring me. We've got the potty out but she's a little afraid of it. I can't wait for the first pee. :)

Oh, this is much better than Kiki's godmother. I swear that she was prepared to take her diaper bag to school.
