Zoey's bedtime

Zoey had realized that now that we're working on potty training, she has an excuse to get out of bed at night. All she has to do is say she needs to go potty, and we won't get mad at her and we'll let her get up and go. Well, it's become a nightmare. She'll get up 7-10 times a night. Sometimes she'll go, sometimes she won't. You can see in her eyes that she know she's getting away with something. So, last week, I finally put my foot down and told her to go to bed. She'd already gone to the bathroom at least 4 times and I was sure she was done. She also has this thing that she does. She thinks that in order to get what she wants, all she has to do is be a happy girl. So, when I told her to go back to bed, she was trying to convince me that she was a happy girl. I did let her stay up a little longer so I could take pictures of her being a "happy girl," then she went to bed. The whole time I was taking these pictures, she was saying, "but I'm a happy girl." Not so convincing.


Doesn't she look SO happy?

And I was just thinking that it's time to start potty training Zander. Maybe we should wait for a few more months...

Funny!!! I can't believe that she is potty trained already!! Stella is SO ready--but I am not. It's too much work!!!!!!

I'm a firm believer in waiting until you know they're ready. I tried to train Owen for a year before I gave up and put him back in diapers. A few weeks later, he decided to do it on his own. Zoey decided that she was ready and she's been MUCH easier!!

I'm with Abby on this one - Zander may be ready, but I'm too lazy. Gotta do it before the little one come though, cause I think two in diapers might break the bank!

That face looks familiar. Except mine has less hair.
