Aurelia went pee on the potty tonight! After about six months of setting her little butt over the pot before bath time, she finally did it. The past week or so (as I complained about yesterday), she has decided to go to the bathroom after her tubby. So, today, she climbed out of the water--she's really tall!--and Matt hurriedly tried to get a diaper on. But a lightbulb went on! Put her on the toilet now! So we did just that. My mom suggested putting her on there backwards, so she can keep her balance better. It took a few minutes (like, three) of coaxing, but she did it!

This kinda rocked my socks off, even though I know we are far from anything real in the way of being potty-trained. At least it happened once, and she got an uproarious praise from us.

Thad gave me two five-hour stretches last night. 9-2; 2-7. Not too shabby. Still buyin' that book.
