Emery has been waking up the last few nights around midnight basically just wanting to hang out in our bed, and eat trail mix. Last night, I had put her to bed twice already and she was up crying for a while. I was trying to get her to go back to sleep and finally my mommy-guilt kicked in, so I went in to get her. As soon as I opened the door, I could smell poop and I felt bad that I had left her crying for a little bit. Then, I noticed that she had gotten her diaper off and pooped in her crib. Still in denial, I lifted her up and went to wipe her bum and put a diaper on her, figuring I would just have to change her sheets.
Little did I know, that she had stepped in the poop, had it on her hands and between her toes. Off to the bathtub we went, at midnight. Lucky for me, Ivan had just gotten home from his friends, so he had the duty of cleaning up her room. Not until he snapped a picture of course (sorry if it's nasty, I had to document it).

We've been losely working on potty training for a few weeks now. Each day this weekend, Emery has pee'd in the potty 3-4 times per day and pooped in the potty today. She's well on her way to being diaper free.

When Ivan got Emery up from her afternoon nap today, she had taken off her diaper and pants AGAIN! Her diaper was thrown across the room and she was quickly trying to wipe up the pee in her crib with her pants. So tonight, we've resorted to .....

Good 'ol duct tape! Ivan's Mom is going to kill us when she finds out, but I've already changed Emery's crib sheets twice in two days and we all know, that's a chore in itself. We'll see how it all goes tonight.

And, it's all worth it because Emery is such a sweetheart. Here is a picture from her this morning. She loves Elmo and her Elmo Potty Time DVD (I think the potty training has been sped up by the DVD by the way). I had Emery's carseat in the house from washing the cover and she sat in it, with Elmo and her blanky for about 15 minutes this morning watching the Elmo DVD.

Just another cute picture showing how much fun Emery is
