Yep, CeCe is a BIG GIRL now!! When we got home from our month long trip at the beginning of the month, CeCe helped me wrap up her bippies in a nice box with pretty paper and she gave them to Baby Luke (my friend Kelly's newborn). I had been talking to her about it a little and she was excited. She would tell everyone "CeCe wrap up, give Baby Yute, bippies!" She cried the first naptime without them for about 20 minutes but that was it. No more fuss about them at all!! Much easier than I expected it to be.
Before July CeCe had never really been into the potty at all. I would sit her on there and nothing would happen, then she would cry to get down. Okay, no big deal, she was only 24 months old. But something clicked in her at my parents house one day and she started going on the potty a good bit when I would ask her to. My plan was still to wait until much later in the fall or even after Christmas. I waited until Bryce was 2.5 and it was super easy with him, so I thought I'd just do that again! Of course CeCe had another plan. When we got home at the beginning of the month she started telling me when she needed to go (#1....#2 has been another story-but we do seem to have that under control now too!) After about a week of me still putting her in a diaper and having to take it on and off everytime she needed to go to the potty I realized that maybe she was ready for panties. I was right! She's been doing GREAT!! She's been in big girl panties/unnaweahs for about 2.5 weeks now. I am so proud of her and still in shock really. Today we went to the beach for the first time in a while and it was so nice to not have to worry about swim diapers, dry diapers, etc. We gave our whole stash of cloth diapers to Baby Luke and I'm so excited that Kelly is liking them so far. I am a little worried about CeCe at school (she starts a 2 day a week program this Tues.) because she wants only me to take her to the potty each time, but I know she'll get used to her teachers too.
Bryce is having a little bit of a rough time with school. I'll leave that for another post but for now please say a little prayer that my sweet, innocent, perfectionist, rule follower can make it in this rough and tough world we call Kindergarten!
