August has been a big month for the Miller home. We started working real hard on potty training. Hannah Claire has been talking about potting all the time and even gone some but nothing consistent. Finally we spent a pretty intense weekend working on it. We kicked off Saturday morning with a new chart for stickers and some big girl panties (Dora and Minnie) that she picked out. Every time she went potty she got a sticker and some M&M's. She did an awesome job the whole weekend.
Monday when I picked Hannah Claire up from school she had not gone at all in the potty. I had a talk with her teacher and we decided to send HC in her big girl panties the next day. She did AWESOME! She had one accident but her teachers told us they forgot to take her on time. She did great the rest of the week and only had one other accident. I am so proud of her and she just keeps getting better everyday. She even has stopped going when she has on a pull-up. Here is Hannah Claire's potty chart when we first started. It is now covered in stickers and we have stopped using it because she prefers to put stickers on every piece of furniture we own and the floor.
Our other project for this past month was moving up to a big girl bed. We tried earlier but the toddler rail screws were too big for the hole in the crib. After lots of calls and emails to the manufacturer they finally sent out a "furniture medic" to fix the hole so that it will convert safely back to a crib. Crazy! Poor Hannah Claire would ask everyday for over a week about her big girl bed (since she had to step over it in the kitchen). Finally she was able to see her new bed with her absolute favorites, nummies (gummies)!
We are so blessed by such a smart girl. She did great at transitioning to her big girl bed. We went for about a week of getting up around midnight and coming to Daddy & Mommy's room. We would lead her back to her room and she would go back to bed. We told her about the "big girl secret" that only kids who sleep in big girl beds know. You all know what I'm talking about, where you have to wait on Mommy or Daddy to come and get you out of bed. She is really good at keeping the secret and will now yell "Daddy, Daddy". August was a big month and we could not have asked for it to go more smoothly. We love you so much Hannah Claire!
