The Spring that Never Came and the Princess Potty!

Other than Jolene's wedding, there have been two main highlights in our family this spring: the weather and the potty!

The weather is much less fun to talk about, so let's get that one out of the way first. It has been TERRIBLE! In early May, Bereket is still wearing her snow boots and her winter coat whenever she leaves the house.  But the spirit of an almost three-year-old can not be broken...and she reminds me to keep my spirit bright even when the weather isn't!  Just check out at this fashionista prepared for any condition Mother Nature might throw her way!  I love this girl!

Now, onto the potty! That is something exciting to talk about!  Bereket has been potty training for the last few months and she is doing great! She even did great on our trip up to Lutsen Resort last month. Forgive me, Bereket for posting this picture from Lutsen...but it is so cute!!
Jason and I have been so proud of all of Bereket's progress and when Jason went to the store recently on an errand, he surprised us all with a special gift for B. He bought her a princess potty!  Bereket is obsessed with anything princess right now, so this was very exciting!  Here she is in the living room examining her new pink commode! She's pointing out Cinderella!
And here is Bereket overseeing the installation process. (Notice the little blue box on top of the toilet. Jason got her princess wipes, too! Nice move! She excitedly says "Princess, Princess" for a wipe every time she is done!)
Perhaps what has been the most fun during this potty training process is seeing Bereket's personal satisfaction in her achievements. She is really proud of herself and I am so proud of her!
