Anne has been using the potty for a long time now so this may not seem like news but everytime she has gone on the potty it has been with one of us helping her. Last night I said something like it is time for Anne to go potty. Where is Anne? She was already in the bathroom. She had her pants and underware pulled down and was sitting on the potty peeing all by herself. We were very happy and she was pretty proud of herself too. Gerhardt told her this morning how proud he was of her for doing that last night. She said, "I did a great job!"
We had sibling preparation class this morning. I was a little silly and I doubt she got much out of it but I don't know how much her little brain does soak up. She had fun anyway. There were 6 children there. 3 were Anne's age and the others were older, probably at least 7. The nurse talked about having a new baby at the house. Anne was so shy and so was another little girl. The 3rd girl Anne's age talked the whole time. It was very cute. They dressed the kids up in a hospital gown, booties, and a hat which Anne thought was great fun. They took their pictures and gave them a tour of the maternity ward and let them see a baby. Anne also colored a card for her new baby brother or sister. They gave us some tips on how to prepare her for the new baby. Many of the things we are already doing but it is good to know you are doing the right things and we got some new ideas too. The nurse had the kids hold a doll like a baby and change a diaper. Anne was very serious and paid attention. When it was her turn to try she did a really good job. The serious look on her face was pretty funny though.
