Potty Pants

Audrey has been really interested in Joseph's big boy potty pants for a long time. Whenever she finds the laundry basket, she digs through it and pulls out a pair of his potty pants. She likes to walk around the house carrying them. As long as the laundry is clean, we don't really care--we don't understand, but we don't care.

Sometimes when Audrey is resisting getting her diaper changed, I'll grab a pair of her brother's potty pants from the dresser drawer and give them to her to distract her. The last couple of times that I've done this, she's done something that looks like she's trying to put them on herself.

Today, I helped her out, and she's never been more proud:



When I set her down, she kept pulling on them to admire them and checking to make sure that she really did have them on. After giving them a few tugs to make sure they weren't going anywhere, she set off feeling confident and empowered.

there is nothing more empowering than a clean pair of potty pants.

An empowerment I rarely feel. Love her. At this rate, she'll be ready for college by 3.

She rules the roost! Love that dimpled darling. And her hilarious and equally adorable big brudder!

Perhaps Mr. Lightening McQueen is her first crush.
