Caroline has had a big week so far - she is taking way too many steps towards becoming a big girl for both her mom's and my taste. First, we went and bought Caroline a full sized mattress the other day. We may not pick it up for a few weeks, but just the fact that she will be in it soon is enough. When we had returned from the store, we figured it was time to get Caroline ready for her big girl bed, so we pulled one of the sides off her crib. Here is a picture of her during her first nap without the rails.
The day after her big girl nap, I decided to take Caroline to the bathroom to see how she liked sitting on the potty. She had just gone potty before sitting down, but I figured we could at least get her used to sitting on the potty for a little while. It started out a little rocky - she didn't want to stay on the potty without playing with the toilet paper. I finally figured out that bubbles were the perfect distraction (hopefully not too much of a distraction that she didn't realize she actually did go potty a couple times). Luckily, Mommy came in with the camera and not only did we get a nice picture of Caroline on the potty,
but Mommy also got a great video (coming soon to a blog near you). Mommy and I think that Caroline had a case of the giggles , but she sure was loving her potty time! The only problem is mopping up the floor from all the bubbles after we are done. It is amazing how much fun I have with this little girl!
