Big Girls & Bad Cars

So Sydney does this thing where she likes to stick her hands down her diaper. Short of cutting off her hands and/or duct taping her diaper to her, I have no idea how to fix this. Such is the case as this morning, she will often times stick her hand down the back to 'collect' the treasures that are sitting and waiting. Then I find poop wiped on her top and sometimes on other things and she'll even, dare I say it, stick it in her mouth. Gross, I know, but I have no idea how to stop this! That really has nothing to do with her being a big girl so don't know why I even brought it up other than to have it documented so that I can torment her with it when she's older:) Anyway, as I'm changing her diaper first thing this morning I ask her if she wants to go potty. She says "yes" very enthusiastically. So, thinking that she has no idea what I'm talking about and is just saying yes, I let her get up before putting the clean diaper on her and she runs to the bathroom, lifts up the lid, turns around and waits for me to pick her up and set her on it! I was truly impressed by this! She even pushed a little to try to get something, anything, to come out but the damage was already done in her diaper. So, I go through the whole motion of wiping her off and get her down off the toilet and she flushes it. I was hoping that watching Quinn do this, she would pretty much potty train herself. Without jinxing it, I think she may be a little easier and earlier with the potty training! Yippee! This picture is of our second try after we got home from stroller strides. Nothing was deposited but as least she's willing to try!







While still in a good mood at the thought of an easy potty training ahead, we get in the car to go to stroller strides and I find that my stupid, freakin' seat is broken and I can't scoot it up! It's always something with that car! I panic at first, thinking there is no way I'll be able to drive around like this. Then I remember the old school way of reaching the pedals and run inside for some pillows. I have to say, I feel a little white trashy but what else am I going to do?! Quinn was kind enough to take a picture for me but insisted that she get her picture taken too. Silly kid!
