This was a big weekend for our little Miss Ally! While Daddy was away at Men's Retreat Thursday night thru Saturday, Ally gave up her pacifier! I never thought we would accomplish this with Allyson. She's always been so attached to her 'paci' and her blanky. For some reason, though, we couldn't find her 'paci' on Thursday night as we got ready for bed, so I told her she'll probably need to go to bed without it. She was all psyched. We went upstairs to bed and as I pulled her covers down, her 'paci' appears from under her pillow. I quickly snatched it and stuck it in my pocket before she saw it. There was no way I was going to give it to her after talking her into sleeping without it. I wanted to at least try it and see, so we did it & Ally did great! She's been napping & sleeping at night ever since with no problems! What a big girl!
The second big event in Ally's weekend has been her decision to start using the potty! Yes, that's right! Of course, with my girls, this has always seemed to click at bedtime, but that's the way it's gone, so I'll take it. Last night, I had given the girls a bath and was drying Ally off when she said "diaper, diaper" rather urgently. I asked her if she needed to go potty...she said, "yes"...and I asked her if she could sit on the potty and she was all excited about it...so off we went. I sat her down on the potty & she went potty just like that! She went twice before she went to sleep last night and then has been doing really quite well today. I didn't push it today with church this morning & then we had a birthday party this afternoon, but she's done quite well this afternoon and actually while we were at the party. I am so proud of her & and am so excited that she has decided it's time. It's the moment I've been waiting for! So....for those of you reading, please pray with us that she will continue to be a "big girl" and use the potty!
YEAH ALLY! MOMMY IS SO PROUD OF YOU!
