Well, it is official......

No, I am not having a baby but even more exciting at this point.....Madelynn is officially potty trained.  We have not had an accident in about 3 days (yes, I am knocking on wood right now).  She has done amazing, and so have I.  This is just another time that I realize why God had it planned for my sisters to have kids before me.  I found myself getting nervous and frustrated when she would have accidents and worried about inconvincing people that help us with her.  I could see me getting alittle out of control about this if I didn't have the examples of my calm, cool and collected little sisters.  God is so smart and knows me so well.  I have always said they were meant to have kids for me so I would learn not to freak out about every little thing.  They are so good at giving advice and encouragement.  The best advice I got from Meghan was to keep a potty seat in the back of my car...already used it twice.  So smart, especially when  in takes almost 30 minutes just to get to the store.  Although, I could see this being useful even if we lived in ABQ. 
Well, I didn't even want to potty train her, but she is so strong-willed that after the 15th or so time she took off her diaper and wanted to sit on the potty that maybe I should so something about it.  Maybe that is why it went so well, because she was so ready for it. 
Well, except for naps and night time we are diaper free.  I am sure there will still be accidents from time to time, but it is very exciting.  Now we can start all of our summer travels with a potty trained kido. 

Well, this picture has nothing to do with potty training except that I think she looks very grown up.  Thanks Aunt Lydia for the super cute dress!
