Today was a big day for Adeline Grace. She experienced so many new things, good and bad. It began with wearing a life jacket for the first time at swimming lessons. She did not like it. She is a petite girl and the jacket looked enormous on her. But after floating and kicking around in the jacket, she went down the slide into the pool for the first time. She even enjoyed it when going underwater at the end!
Her afternoon went sour when she knocked her forehead {worst visible injury yet} on the corner of the ottoman resulting in bruising and scraping. Said injury was the result of her running around the living room, naked, in pure excitment after playing in her deck pool -- this girl loves the water.
Our evening was capped with an exciting experience.As I was rocking my sweet child before bed she said to me, "go potty?" then "Addie go poop." I thought it was just a ploy to get out of going to bed. But after three more "Addie go pottys." We went into the bathroom. {Sidenote, we've had a potty chair in the bathroom for a while as a stool and we've talked about potty training but nothing has ever came of it} I take her diaper off and sit her on her bright green potty chair. She sits. She jabbers about the potty and the toilet paper. Sits some more. Then she stands up and relieves herself!! We were both surprised by the wet puddle infront of her. And I was so proud of her. Missed the target but was on the right path.
