Stage Change

We had an interesting and funny development on Saturday while we were at the mall.

While in Macy's looking through kids' clothes, Sammie decided that she absolutely HAD to have certain clothes.

She walked over to the underwear section, grabbed a pair of panties, and tried to put them on with her skirt.

As she has also been trying over the past week to walk to the potty and pull off her diaper, I think it is safe to say we've had enough signs that she is ready for potty training.

So, we went and bought her first pair of big-girl underwear. Little Mermaid, to go with the Ariel doll she brings to many, many places.

I'm hoping it goes a bit easier and quicker than Alex's potty training. Everyone says girls are easier to train, so I hope that is indeed the case.
