madi's big day.

this day has been added to my top favorite days ever.

before this morning madi wanted nothing, i repeat NOTHING to do with her big girl undies.

NO UNDIES!!

i read the book, toilet training in less than a day, picked the brain of my sweet cousin, ashley, did my shopping and preparing and we were ready to go!

this day was a hit and she did so great.

my mom and dad took logan for the morning so i could have special one on one time with madi. i knew going in she'd need the extra attention. thanks, grammy & papa for the help!

i cannot tell you how many times i refolded the undies pictured above...so that she could unfold. we did this for at least an hour. worth every fold. :)

she practiced with her baby, who wore big girl undies too (but they were HUGE on her, so i had to tuck them in and twist them up the baby's back. it was hilarious.) and the moment those minnie undies went on, it took everything i had not to weep in joy!

all day...DON'T PEEPS ON MINNIE! DON'T POOPS ON TINKERBELL.

love it. love, love.

i love you, madi babe, and we are so proud of you!

(update. madi has done fabulous. i think i was in the company of some skeptics who weren't sure this was actually going to happen! it feels so so good to only have 1 kid in diapers again. DAMN. diapers are expensive.)
