Potty Training Update

Ana has been letting us know more regularly when she needs to use the toilet, but for the most part only for us at home. She has shown that she doesn't like being in a wet diaper though, which is a really big step.

She has made a habit of removing her diaper - and any clothes in the way - each morning when she wakes up. To prevent this, we have had to use a diaper pin to keep her onesie on (she can undo the snaps). Even so, she has occasionally managed to undo the tape on one side of the diaper and move the diaper enough to cause a small mess.

This morning however, she managed to pull the onesie down from her shoulders and all the way off, and then removed the diaper. After putting her on the toilet, I made the call to her daycare and asked if she could wear panties today, and they agreed that it's time for her to move her up to "big girl" status. So, for the first time ever, she wore panties in the car and at daycare!

First Trip To The ZOO!!!

We took Ana to the zoo for the first time today and had a blast! Her latest favorite movie is "Happy Feet" and she says/signs "Penguin" all day long, so we took her to see the real penguins right away. She went wild watching them; she was really excited.

We also saw fish, elephants, zebras, a giraffe, baby goats, turtles, monkeys, bats, bears, and a whole lot more. On our way out, we stopped at the gift shop and bought a toy penguin to take home.
