She's a big girl now!

That's my BABY girl I'm talkin' about! Hailey is officially potty trained! Yahoooo! She's been wearing her princess undies for about two weeks now and we've only had about 4 or 5 accidents in that time. She's even making it through her naps dry and we're trying night time for the first time tonight!!! She's been wearing a pull-up at night, but she wakes up still dry, so tonight I gave her the option of wearing her undies and she was all over it!!! She's such a girl too, because she can take half an hour trying to decide which pair to wear for the day! I've started narrowing down her choices to only two, otherwise she takes all her underwear out of her drawer and lines them all up before she decides! (She has about 15 - 20 pairs!)
That's not the only big milestone for Miss Hailey-girl either. We also got rid of the pacifier, affectionately called a nonie by Hailey, completely! She got to go to the store and pick out a new toy to "buy" with all of her nonie's. After about two hours, (do you think she gets the indecisiveness from me???) she finally decided on two stuffed animals and a princess figurine! I was happy since it only cost about $10 total, and not the $50 I thought it would when we went down the princess aisle! I was surprised she didn't get the dress-up stuff, but hey - whatever works! The funny part was when I asked the sales lady to take her pacifiers from her, she kept trying to give them back to me without Hailey seeing! I told her to throw them away but she was sure I didn't mean it and put them in the bag. I had to ask her three times to throw them away before she finally did! Hailey has done remarkably well without them, only asking for them maybe three times and without any effort! I've had the harder time with it, I keep looking for them when I put her to bed and have to remember that they are gone!
Anyway, my baby is definitely growing up and becoming a big girl! I love you, Hailey-girl!

My "baby" was recently potty trained too. I gotta tell you, it is bittersweet for me. Kind of the end of an era (with me it actually WAS an entire era -- lol!). So this post is poignant to me, watching the little ones grow up so quickly. Glad we are from a big family so there are still babies to look forward to. xoxo
