Oh, the Excitement!!!

I ventured out to Wal-Mart this morning. I have found that Wal-Mart is actually bearable if you go in the morning during the week. Forget trying to go on a Saturday afternoon- you'll never catch me at Wal-Mart then! That's when all the crazies go, and I want no part of it...


Anyway, the purpose of my trip was to pick up a few necessities, but the main thing I wanted to get was a potty for Bella. I had read or heard somewhere that it helps the potty training effort if the child gets to help pick out their own potty. So, I thought I'd give it a try. As soon as I put Bella in the cart, I started trying to get her excited about picking out her potty. I had no idea how excited she would get! We got to the potty aisle, and within a few seconds Bella yells "I want da pink one!" So, the pink one it was!


As soon as we got back to the house, I couldn't even unload all of my purchases because Bella kept asking "take my potty outta da box?" I still couldn't believe how excited she was over the new potty. She couldn't wait to try it out. So, she has spent most of the afternoon and evening sitting on her new potty. Although nothing has happened in the potty yet, I know it will soon. I just have to be patient. I may be able to avoid having 2 in diapers after all. I can't believe how fast my little girl is growing up!

Is that why it's not as fun for adults to use the bathroom? We need pink potties? :)

Bella looks cute as can be sitting on her new potty! Good luck with the JOYS of potty training. It would be awesome if you could get it done before Baby #2 arrives!
