Training Day

Dear Mackenzie,

We were playing with your dollhouse this afternoon and I put one of the dolls in the living room. You said, "No, he go in da ain." I couldn't understand you and you said again, "He go in da ain." You said it a few more times and when it was clear I didn't know what you were saying, you said, "Ain. Too-too! Too-too!" It still took me a beat but then oooooohhhhh! Train! Choo-choo for train! Because that particular doll had come with the Fisher Price train. I love that you acted out "train" when I couldn't understand that you were saying "train!" Clever girl!

You are also clever because you are already potty trained! I started putting you in underwear a little over a week ago and you have only had three small accidents. The rest of the time, you have asked to go to the potty when you need to pee and have been able to hold your pee until you are on the potty. Even when we go out and don't have quick access to a bathroom, you are able to hold your pee for hours. There were also a couple times when you woke up in the morning and your nighttime diaper was completely dry. I am so impressed! I was dreading the process of potty training for the fourth time but you have been the easiest kid to train!

Love,

Mom
