bean is working on it. we always give her a fork but usually it is tossed aside because it is frustrating and gosh darn it she can eat faster with her hands! on this occasion she managed to spear her pasta and later some broccoli. she seemed quite pleased with herself and put way more effort into it than she normally does. at the end of the meal i'd say at least half of what went in got there via the fork. AMAZING! we are very impressed. of course i'm not counting on this continuing. i mean, we all know how toddlers can be, right?
as for the potty. ah, i'm so pleased. really i am! yesterday she did 1 pee pee and 2 poo poos and today 1 poo poo (so far). she actually is proud of herself. when i get happy and excited about what she has done she just glows with pride. she even told me "my so proud" the other day. i didn't think a kid her age would understand the concept of pride but i think she does and it is awesome. little bean is also so very excited about the stickers that she gets when she uses the potty. stickers are something that she doesn't normally get so she sees it as a special treat. we have a "chart" that hangs on the bathroom wall that she gets to stick them on. so cool in her 20 month old mind! mommy thinks that it is so cool that she has gotten 5 stickers in the past two and a half days. :) of course, i'm not counting on this continuing either. you know, that whole toddler thing again! HA!
