Big news today! Lara peed in the potty!
I have avoided formally potty-training because I haven't felt that I've had the time to devote to the process. But for the last week Lara has been deprived of candy because that's her prize for going on the potty. Whenever she asked for candy I'd ask her what she needed to do to get it. She'd say something to the effect of "candy, go potty." Well, today she asked for candy today at daycare and we went through the whole spiel. So she went to where the little potties were, pulled down her pants, and took off her diaper. She didn't go right away so Ms. Corie just put Lara's pants on her without her diaper. 2 minutes later she had disappeared and when we looked for her she was by the potties pulling up her pants! We had to call Daddy at work and tell him, and Grandma :) She was pretty proud of herself AND she got her candy. Now I just have to knuckle down and seriously potty train...

That's just cute.
Funny phone calls are turning out to be one of the best parts of grandma-dom.
