For the last FIVE days, Gianna has been using the toilet! She has pooed everyday in the toilet, and it has made my life so much easier. It's so CLEAN! We are still working on the timing of the pees, but she usually pees on the toilet right when she wakes up in the morning and after naps. During the day, I try to have her pee before she has a snack or meal. Things are going well. :)

Today, we missed stroller strides, because I had to drop the car off for a check up. The good news is that we did make it to Gymboree at 11 AM. There were a lot of babies there today. Gigi enjoyed it. Here she is crawling through a tunnel.

Because of our weird schedule today, Gianna didn't take a morning nap, and I she didn't get an afternoon nap, because of gym class. At 1 PM she showed signs of fussiness, so I rocked her to sleep with the digital regae channel on. She slept for about an hour and 45 minutes in her crib. She woke up crying, but she still looked sleepy. I immediately put her on the toilet, and she peed, but she was still crying and still very sleepy. I placed her on our bed, and we both took a nap together. I got up after hour, but Gigi slept till 5 PM! She essentially took a FOUR hour nap today!

I was worried that she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight, but things have gone really well in the evening. When she got up, I put her on the toilet again, and she peed. :) Then I got her dinner ready...salmon & peas. She ate it all up, so I gave her some applesauce, too. It was cold, because I made it yesterday and it was in the fridge. She ate it all up, too! Then Gigi played for a while and at 7 PM, I just had a hunch that she might have to go pee.

When I checked her diaper, she had already peed, but when I put her on the toilet she pooed! She is such a good baby! She even fell asleep by 8:30 PM!
