Success!!!

Woohoo! I'm so excited! Last night my sister and brother-in-law were in town so the girls and I headed down to Station Square to meet them for dinner and a little hang out time. After dinner, they wanted to head to Starbucks, and on the way, Malia said she needed to use the potty. If you don't know, Malia's history with using the potty is that we have had to fight her to try to use the potty, to change her diaper, etc. She has no interest in taking time out of her day to use the potty or have her diaper changed. We've done everything imaginable to get her interested, but to no such luck. Even Pressley's potty success has not been enough to get her to go-she just cheers her sister on ("Good job Bugsy! I'm so proud of you!!" "Do you want to go potty Malia?" "No"). So anyway, when she asked to use the potty last night, I was really hesitant. I HATE public bathrooms because she ends up touching everything. She's always asking to go potty when we're out and about, so we make this big fuss of getting her ready to go, touching every discusting thing in the nasty bathroom, only to have her sit on the potty for a second and say she's all done. So, you can imagine that I was not too thrilled about taking her to the bathroom last night. As we were walking, I told her there were no bathrooms outside, so if she could hold it, we'd walk over to Starbucks and use their potty. A few minutes later we made it to Starbucks, got the potty ready, undressed Malia, she sat down and....Yay!!!! Pee!!!!! A lot of pee!!!! She was so proud of herself. We were both squealing and cheering like crazy! (I can't imagine what they thought outside!) Hopefully this means that we are on the path to big girl underwear and out of diapers for good!!! Let's keep our fingers crossed!!!!!!!!
