OK, so I haven't taken pictures of our potty training adventures (although I should...some of them would be quite humorous) but I couldn't resist telling my favorite story so far. So here it goes...(sorry to those of you who have heard this a hundred times). I was in the office on the computer when Olivia ran past me saying, "I need to go potty, I need to go potty." Then she came out of the bathroom with a defeated look on her face and said, "I tried." I went into the bathroom and found a puddle right next to the toilet. I sent her to her bedroom to get some new panties on while I cleaned up the mess, and when I got to her room, she was just standing there without any underwear on clearly upset. I asked her why she didn't have clean panties on. She sighed, then she said, "I can't". When I asked why, her head lowered, her shoulders drooped, she sighed even louder and said, "I can't do this". I nearly lost it but kept my composure and asked her what she meant. She said, "I don't want to go potty in the big toilet." I said, "Is it hard being a big girl?" She said yes, and I gave her a little pep talk so she finally put some panties on. It was so hysterical! The look on her face will forever be in my memory. I just wish we could print pictures from our minds so you could all see what I saw that day. She is so funny! I laugh every day...

This is hilarious. What a hard job it is for them to go potty on the big potty. She is so cute!!!
Reminds me of the time we were in the MTC - at that plateau spot. I thought I was getting that spanish down. Then I overheard two native speakers in the bathroom. I think I must have looked a little like Olivia. I remember thinking too, "I can't do this." Thanks for being encouraging then too. The things we're prepared for later in life. . .LOL
So DARN cute! It isn't even funny. She acts so grown up, and stressed out just like an adult would. You have an awesome girl there! Enjoy!
