We Made It!

In the words of Dora, “We Made It!”

Mission accomplished. For today, anyway. We survived an entire trip to the mall with panties on Lyla! Dry.

And this is how we felt:

She told us she felt a tickle in her belly as soon as we arrived, and all 4 of us bolted to Von Maur’s bathroom (Cade laughed the whole way). 3 trips to the bathroom and 2 escalator rides later, we left the mall (dry) with a feeling of immense accomplishment. We’re so proud of her.

When we got home, she disappeared into the bathroom on her own, and came out to announce that she pee-pee’d AND pooped in the potty.

I think we’re getting somewhere.

Next challenge: panties to preschool.

In Cade news, our soon-to-be ONE year old has developed a new game of mischief in which he dares to do things he knows he isn’t supposed to (pretend biting, taking the toilet paper off the roll, etc), waits to be caught and laughs and laughs when redirected. It’s hard not to laugh ourselves, which makes the game go on and on. Cade & Lyla are really starting to play more together – they especially love playing chase round and round the house.

The sounds of their laughter are the absolute best in the world. No comparison to the sweetness.
