This morning Lilly saw the (empty, unbeknownst to her) bag of Goldfish crackers in the trash can. She looked up at me with such sadness and disappointment and said, "That's not berry nice mom!" I had to stifle my laughter.
On another note, it only took 3 1/2 years, but she has finally begun to get out of bed on her own after naps or sleep. Seriously, up until now she would stay in bed and play with her bears. She never got out of bed, and never came out of her room. She would call for us when she was ready to get up, but would still be on the bed when we came in. I don't know why. We never told her she had to stay in her bed, she just did. Funny girl!

Potty Time
Because I know you have been sitting around wondering about it, I figured I'd better give an update on the potty training progress around here.
I am VERY pleased to report that Lilly is doing great at staying dry! She's been in underwear for about a month (barring naps and bedtime) and has had one accident in all that time. It's kind of funny because this "dry spell" happened immediately following the worst accident day we'd ever had. I was about crying over cleaning up pee everywhere all day long, but the next day was a total turn around. Maybe it just took me being willing to let her experience a day of wetting in underwear for the idea to sink in.
We're still having resistance on the poop front. Most days see me scrubbing it out of her underwear once or twice. I know. It's awesome. She has gone a couple of times on the toilet, but unless she wants to, it ain't happening. Ya know the saying about leading a horse to water?? I'm confident that one day it will click and my undie-scrubbing days will be behind me. In the meantime, I'm just thrilled with the progress thus far.
