Happy Birthday to me, Ruby is Diaper free!

I am so proud of this little missy!

Completely potty trained one month after her second birthday. 

The first thing I said to Ruby after she was born and was placed into my arms was this

"You will live your life in diapers, because I will never potty train another child. Ever again." 

And then I snuggled her close and told her I loved her. 

She decided about 2 weeks ago she doesn't like diapers anymore. 

She wants to be big. And she didn't even know about cute underwear at the time. 

Zack's batman undies were only exciting for a few days. 

I'll save you the stinky details but here are a few funny stories

Running around in Zack's undies, "Dadda, whats that wet?"

 pointing to the puddle on the floor. 

One night, exhausted I forgot I was on potty watch. Pretty soon she was
squatting on the kitchen floor with a massive puddle under her.

I grabbed her and she peed on my shoe as we ran down the stairs.

Cutest thing ever... 

after discussing what we should do next time, accessing the wet pony panties,

I discover my shoe is wet and I casually said "You peed on my shoe"

She says "Oh, sorry Momma". Cute girl. 

Love her. She seriously is the sweetest thing.

I've only had 2 potty training experiences, one was a nightmare.
It lasted 2 years, and still comes back to visit occasionally.

The second was exhausting, yet liberating, and it lasted only 7 days.
I might be able to do this again....

I think one thing that made potty training Ruby easier is that I had done it once before.
Some of my expectations for Zack were unrealistic and I didn't fully get
what he did or didn't understand. I've learned a lot from experience and I read a LOT
before taking on the challenge with Ruby. Although the fact that she was willing
and ready made a big big difference.
