Hooray for January!

January has been a great month at our house. Mostly because McKinley is potty trained. After we brought Molly home in November I would go from changing her teeny-tiny diapers like 400 times a day to changing McKinley's much larger diapers a few times a day. Going from seeing a tiny little bum to a big 2 year old bum I decided it was time to potty train....I should NOT have to change a diaper on a bum that big!
So, hooray, it worked out! It basically was a week of making her go all the time and she only had a couple of accidents. The second week we still had to ask her sometimes, but miraculously she started telling us and running her self to the bathroom. I LOVE that she uses the toilet now, it's so nice! What a big girl!
The second week was nice because we stopped staying home since I felt like I could trust her in public. Here is my potty trained girl watching a Utah gymnastics meet. Way to go McKinley!

I think it's funny that you had that "bum" realization because I too felt the exact same way when I brought Cole home from the hospital and was also changing Jace's rather large bum. It's soooooo nice to have a potty trained child!
