It's like the pee in your pants....

except now its going right into the potty! We started toilet training Ava a few weeks ago and it wasn't going well. She 'got' the elements but couldn't connect. Then we all got really sick, Mike & I with the flu and Ava had a cold. We could barely move so we tossed the potty out the window. We started feeling better and Ava started asking for her panties again. So we started all over again! We took her to Wal-mart to get a step stool, since she loves the one at Mimi's house. She is doing so well with it. She will sit on the potty when you ask her to and she loves the sound the pee makes. Weird, I know. One of those roll your eye moments and a thought of whatever makes you happy, kid. Oh and the bribe of a 'chocolate cookie' (mini oreo) doesn't hurt either!!! We even went to dinner tonight with panties on. Yay Ava!

I have to admit....her little tushie looks super cute with no diaper and she looks like such a big girl!

Horray!

We finally have a blog! Mike mentioned countless times that he is surprised that I don't blog. Ava is at an age where she is doing so many cool and fun new things everyday that I thought now was a good a time as any! So here we are. We needed a cool name and I think we have it! The Pip Spot. Its two fold, actually. Ava's nickname is Pip, she sort of named herself that at around 18 months. She had pig tails in her hair and Mike told her she looked like Pippy Longstocking. She touched her chest and said "I a pip" So we call her that. The second reason.....if you know me, you know that I am a lover of all things Dave Matthews Band. The Last Stop.....thats all I will say. I like this! A multi-functional blogger name! How cool (and corny)!

Look for lots of fun, silly, corny and wacky updates from us, probably often!
