The greatest joys in life are experienced in happy family relationships... the cultivation of a happy home requires effort and energy, forgiveness and patience, love and endurance and sacrifice, but it is worth all of this and more. -Gordon B. Hinkley

just in time!

lucy went potty for the first time on the toilet this morning. she came downstairs in her undies and I told her that if she wanted to wear underwear then she had to go potty on the toilet so she sat on the toilet for a while. i came up to her after a while and asked her if she had gone potty and she said (with much disappointment) no. so I told her to get off the potty and that is when I noticed that she HAD gone. we had a big celebration and she got a sucker and she was very proud of herself.
later, she had one accident and then I put a diaper on her so we could go to the bookstore and then she took a nap and pretty much wore a diaper the rest of the day. so... small steps I guess. but, she did it! and right in time for me to leave for Hawaii for 10 days and hopefully the potty training will be complete by the time I get home!! :)
this is how she was wearing her underwear this morning... backwards. it was hilarious!
these pictures are probably inappropriate to put on my blog, but I can't help myself!
you can't tell so much from the front

but the back view is a dead giveaway!

sam was trying to help her with the situation.  what a sweet boy he is!

 it didn't quite work!

she got her sucker though!!

sweet and adorable, just like her!
