Dear Boo Bear,
Boy, did you jump right in to your twos!! You've quickly picked up on the word “no”, and have become quite the loquacious li'l lady! I must say, of all your developmental milestones and accomplishments, I have most enjoyed witnessing your increasing vocabulary and ability to communicate unfold. You progress by leaps and bounds daily, and it is just delightful to be able to hold a conversation with you. :o)
The biggest accomplishment you've made in recent weeks is ditching the diapers for good! During the week of May 23rd, we began Operation Potty Training, using the 3-Day Method. While the first half of the first day was completely exhausting, you mastered going to the potty quite well. At first, I was worried that you weren't going to go poo-poo on the potty, but the following week you proved me wrong. (Thankfully!!) Now, you are very good about telling me if you have to go. You even hold it if we're out and can't access a potty right away, because as soon as we get home, I'll sit you down, and you'll go right away. And every time you do go poo-poo on the potty, a great big grin sweeps across your face, and you giddily clap, and cheer “YAY!” for yourself, with myself and Daddy cheering right along with you. I am so proud of (and quite elated at) how well and how easily you transitioned to wearing panties, and ditched those diapers.
