The Terrible Twos are Around the Corner

If Cacy had her way, this is what the food pyramid would look like.

What Has Mommy Petrified?

I will tell anyone that we have been blessed beyond measure for many reasons with Cacy - and not just the obvious ones. No real transition to her sleeping through the night, or even in her own bed (it was probably harder on mommy than anyone). We took the pacifier away with little heartache. Teething has been okay, I know she has had some painful days and nights, but she is a trooper and I thank God for that daily. It's only hard to drop her off at daycare when she is not feeling well. Hard for both of us, but much harder on her of course. She is a very happy baby.  With all of that, I am so very intimidated by the next big thing coming our way. POTTY TRAINING... dun dun duunnnn.

I think that potty training will be the hardest thing I have yet to do, outside of giving birth, in her very short lifetime.  All anyone can tell me is, oh girls are easy to potty train. Um, I'm sorry, but that really doesn't make me feel better.  I have no idea of how to communicate with my almost two year old on how to let me know in advance that she needs to go potty. One of the latest developments is she says, "I boo boo.", after she poops. If she lets us know in advance, I run her to the potty. She sits and plays with me, sings songs, and has conversations. But she has never done anything in the potty or toilet.  I have made a song, it's called "Boo Boo in the Potty". She sings it randomly. But we can't connect the potty to the boo boo. But we have two more months until she is officially two, and I need to really get serious.
