Ready for potty trainning

Another reason why I have not been blogging lately, besides my new passtime of reading twilight, it's due to my computer being infested with viruses. I can not type more than half a minute when something comes popping up on my screen and I HATE IT! So I have stayed away from the computer almost completely until my husband fixes it. Isn't it ironic, he fixes bugs for a living and it's been about 2 weeks or more since my computer was stricken by this virus and until this day it still goes unfixed! - I love you honey! :)

But something happened today that just can't go without blogging about.

I think Jocie is ready to start potty training! I have heard that after the first child the ones to follow are pretty easy. Today I found out that it might be true, to my relief.

Jocie woke up from her nap this morning and the first thing she said to me was "po-po" or poo-poo, I did not take it seriously, since she often seats at Naomi's potty just for pretends, diaper on and everything, so I told her to go while I did something in the kitchen- I started sitting her on potty pretty early on, thinking that it would work to my advantage some time in the future, what I did not know was how early that future might be- a couple of minutes later she was standing next to me with a red face and grunting, the I'm doing a poo-poo type of face, "mmm..." I thought. Could it be? I asked her "Do you need to go poo" and she nodded yes and we quickly headed to the restroom. I pulled her diaper off, but she had already gone in her diaper. I sat her down anyway, and waited to see if she still needed to go some more. She stayed sitting down for a couple of minutes, but she was done. She did not want to get up after that, she would throw my hands off of her if I tried to help her up. The only way she agreed to get up was after I asked "Te limpio la colita?"-" Can I clean your bum-bum?" Then she nodded yes and got up to rest her chest across my lap, just like big sister does while I clean her bum-bum, all on her own. I guess she knows the routine after seeing it time after time. We clapped and danced and cheered anyway, just as if she had really gone, and she looked so happy and proud of herself.
I had just put away a bag of training pants that Naomi did not use, and it seems that I will have to go hunting for it in my garage (the scariest place on earth) and get them to work right away. We'll see how it goes. I hope I'm not speaking to soon and jinx Jocie's potty training. We will keep you all informed!
