Potty Progress and TowMater Teeth
So tonight at bedtime Natalie sat on her potty to try to pee as has been our practice since the spring. I can count on my fingers the times she's actually put something in it, and that's perfectly fine with me. No rush. Tonight, again, nothing. But then after she'd gotten up and walked into her room to get a new diaper, she turned around, came back into the bathroom, and said, "You wanna try to pee again?" And sure enough, as soon as she sat down, the river flowed! Yay Natalie!! She was promptly rewarded with a "Mutti M" (M&M) even though she had already brushed her teeth. Very exciting. Something is definitely clicking now.
On another random and funny note, she looks at me tonight as we're getting ready for bed and says, "Mommy has teeth like 'Mater." For those of you who haven't seen this character in Pixar's Cars, see the picture below. I laughed out loud. Yes,mommy has quite the gap in her teeth...and so does she! And so did her great-grandmother before her. We're proud of our gap. Another convenient place to store loose change or a snack for later. Natalie is making little connections like this all the time lately, but this was definitely one of her funniest. Good thing I have a healthy self-esteem. :)
It was a good thing I had that laugh too. Probably helped me get through the hour and a half it took to get Charlotte down. HOLY COW. I was clearly being made to suffer for leaving her all day. :)Definitely a mommy's girl right now.

Yay for gaps! We are oh so proud of them over in these here parts, too! Super cute if I do say so myself!
