Pee Pee in the PotTY! (to a conga line beat)

Pee pee in the potty! Pee pee in the potty! Ceili is big girl! She is not a ba-bee!

Sorry, had a little proud mommy moment there. You woke up in our bed this morning (due to a 3 a.m. sleepwalking incident that had you crawling in bed with us), and stayed asleep there as we got ready for work. I finally woke you up to get you ready for school and took you in to pee in the potty. I thought it wasn't going to happen as we read through the Elmo counting book for the third time. But all of a sudden, you gasped and the flow began!

I made a HUGE deal out of it, singing the pee pee song, giving you a sticker of your choice, putting a lollipop sticker on your doggie calendar bought just for that purpose. You just loved the attention, of course, and you were happy and cheerful and still singing the pee pee song at daycare. You were very excited to show everyone your SpongeBob sticker and tell them you got it for going pee pee in the potty!

Yes, I know, the potty talk will be getting old. But I'm excited for you. We tried all night last night to get you to pee in the potty, but you just wouldn't. It's been months and months since you last did, mostly because I haven't been consistent at all. Not anymore. We have a plan and we're sticking to it!

I also started in earnest getting some info on additional schools. I have a great benefit here at work that I'd forgotten about that will do most of the initial legwork, research and contacting places for me! Then I can take their research and go from there. I'm going to stop at the montessori I like with the huge waiting list and pick up some more info too.

Beware the empowered PMS-ing mama.
