Pee Pee Princess

So, I think Hannah's finally on the right track to become fully potty trained....although, probably against her will...but I'll take what I can get! We decided to stop buying the huge box of diapers from Costco for her. Basically, we can only afford to diaper one child at a time...lol. So we told her, "you're a big girl.....your diapers are expensive...and your Dora undies are only 3.99 for a pack of 5....so guess what?- you're gonna use the potty!" Since we've been held captive in our house due to the ridiculously cold weather anyway, I've been keeping her in underwear all week. We take "pee pee breaks" about every 2 hours. She's doing great- a couple of times, she's starting peeing before she realized it- and ran to the potty to finish. Yesterday, we finally got out of the house- to the mall to play in the kid zone area. I put a diaper on her because I figured she'd be too busy to notice the signals, plus the idea putting her on a public toilet still creeps me out. She stayed dry the whole time we were out, and when we got home she started to pee in her diaper and said "Oh Mommy- I have to pee pee on the potty- Take my diaper off." She is still scared of the school potty, so maybe I will try tackling that next week if she stays in undies all weekend.
So that's our week....I think I've only been out of the house once or twice. Tuesday, I was absolutely glued to the T.V. watching the inauguration. Poor Hannah was bored to tears. I tried telling her that Obama is our new President.....and she said "Present?! Where's my Present??" So I gave up :) What an amazing piece of history! And to think that he will be the first president that my children will remember- SO COOL!!
Anyway, blah blah...cold weather stinks...the winter drags on....OH- but our snowman family endures!! They've been out there for 3 days :)

Oh- the Mommy snowman didn't get any facial features because Hannah had eaten all the candy hearts by then :)
