Blanche Stuart Scott of the Porcelain World

This morning I woke up and watched TV in bed for a minute while I was listening to Gabrielle stir in bed. She would mumble for a minute, go back to sleep, mumble, and so on. I figured I would just wait for her to fully wake up. A few minutes later, I thought I heard water running in the house and wondered if Kenton was still home for a moment. No, no way. He had left a long time before that. Soon after, Gabrielle comes busting through my bedroom door, fully dressed with blankies in hand, telling me that she went pee-pee in the potty. February has been potty-training month, so we have been somewhat bathroom-focused. Although Gabby has sat down on the potty by herself before, she hasn't ever fully gone potty solo. She very excitedly led me down the hall to the bathroom and showed me her successes. She most certainly DID go potty ALL BY HERSELF. I didn't see any toilet paper in the little potty and Gabby told me she wiped and flushed it down the toilet. What a big girl! I was so proud of her. We're making baby steps over here, but so far I think she has done fabulously with potty-training. She is becoming such a big girl!
