did i say i'd try to write about positive things?

well, then in that case i guess it's time... to announce...

Adora goes poopoo on the potty!!!!

this is pretty big news, considering she's not even 2...

we'd started training her awhile ago, but i'd pretty much given up, figuring a, she just isn't ready, and b, we left her potty in storage...

but she keeps insisting...

and for a few days, it was every 20 minutes or so, whether she had to go or not, and often would have already gone by the time i got her to the bathroom, and a couple times was half way through, and finished while on the potty...

but 3 times now have been from start to finish... she'll come in a room, finding either me or a grandma, saying "poo poo pooooo pooooo" building in excitement with every syllable, whoever she found will take her in to the potty, help her undress, lift her up on it, and sit with her, while she actually, and happily, does her business...
and then when she's "all done" she will wave her arms around in sign language to say all done, and as soon as whoever acknowledges that she'll point to the t.p. and when you hand her a peice she will then wad it all up and 'wipe' her back mostly but the attempt is there...

i can hardly believe it...

and in no way any lesser of news...

Chloe' rolls over

and over and over and over and over and over...

back to belly, belly to back, to belly to back, to belly to back...either side to side and back and forth, or in a continuous direction, but obsessively either way, and from the second i lay her down...

she actually rolled over from back to belly first, around 3 1/2 months old, and her obsession trully formed at around 4 1/2 months when she could finally do from belly to back.. and on and on she goes...

i will try to get pictures...

Such wonderful news in spite of the horrible thrush news! Way to go Adora! I hope we're so lucky. And Chloe found a way to get around!

Wow- that's amazing. Your kids sure have got mine beat. Except in pigment. And hair. Mine have lots of hair. But really-- I'm stoked that Adora is doing the potty thing. Isn't poo in the potty the very best?

This makes me smile smile smile. Your little girls are superstars and i would love to see some footage even. Someone, was it elena, has figured out how to upload footage to blogs. Not that that helps you, but maybe if you make a date just for computer purposes over to ed;s moms, she'll understand.
