Potty trained

Yep, Ella is potty trained. It. Is. Amazing. We started on a Monday, and it took about three days for her to figure out that she HAD to go to the potty every time. Then another week to figure out how to realize ahead of time that she needed to go. It's been about a week now with no accidents, and yesterday she went into the bathroom, pulled her pants down, and went to the potty all by herself while Hal and I sat on the couch and watched in awe. Sidenote: The things that evoke awe as a parent are so different than before having kids.

Listen, I know that girls are easier than boys most of the time, and I am NOT trying to be braggy about this. I just want to note how awesome this transition has been, and how much Ella is proud of herself and what a big girl she feels like now.

However, I do have to note in excitement the $50/month we will now save on diapers. Score!
