Alrighty then!  We take the diaper off after breakfast and don't go back.  It will probably take a few days and some messes, but we are confident she's ready.  Last weekend she told us she had to go potty and then pooped in a big toilet (we didn't take her toilet to my parents' house when we visited).  We've had this day on the calendar for awhile and I can't believe it's already here.  I'll keep you updated when I get a chance.

*I tried to get some generic, cute undies for Amelia, but they were all either ugly or sold out.  Since she's a fan of Elmo she now owns 14 pair of panties with the monster on them.  Who knows?  Maybe that's the motivation she needs, ha.

**Andrew was in bed since it is 1 a.m. and he is smart.  Therefore, he missed out on my spontaneous picture taking session mid blog.
