I have a really funny Holly story to share with you. Holly and I had just come downstairs and as usual, she got distracted at the bottom of the stairs playing with something. I had already gone into my bedroom and begun tidying when I heard a panicked Holly saying, "uh-oh." I came to see what was the matter. She had to most awkward stance - halfway squatting with her knees and thighs tightly together. She was standing on the swiffer rod so I thought she was uh-ohing about dropping it and stepping on it. I picked it up and passed it to her. But no, the awkward stance and uncomfortable ehing and uh-ohing continued. I told her to come on and play and as she took an uneasy squat-step, her diaper dropped to the floor. Holly was uh-ohing because her diaper was coming off. I think she was embarassed. I thought it was hilarious!

This morning I was looking at potties. I think we're really close to being ready to potty train. The other morning, Holly was sitting on her floor, her one-piece pajamas unbottoned and removed except for around her ankles. She had a few wipes pulled out and ready to go, and she was tugging on her diaper. It looked as though she intended to change her own diaper! If she's poopy she feels uncomfortable and has been known to bring us wipes and then lay down on the floor and wait. She's always eager and willing to have her diaper changed. It's so exciting to think that I might be diapering only one bottom soon...
