Potty Mouth!

Olivia is doing great with potty training! We take her to sit on the potty about every 2 hours, and she goes every time. She keeps her cute little undies dry for the most part. We are still working on her letting us know when she has to go, instead of us just taking her when the clock says it's time. There have been a few times that she's said, "I need Dora!" (Her potty seat has Dora the Explorer on it.) But she's usually already starting to go by the time she says it.
The other night, I was helping Ethan brush his teeth before bed while Josh and Olivia were playing in the hallway. Olivia shouted, "I need Dora!"
Josh scooped her up and ran her to the toilet as fast as he could. He struggled a little with her pants, and when he got to her underwear, he realized he was too late. A little disappointed and forgetting where he was, he said, "Damn!"
Before I could even give Josh the look, Olivia shook her head while still sitting on her potty seat and said, "Damn!"
Oops! Josh and I did our best to ignore it at the time. And after Olivia was in bed, Josh told me, "You have to admit though, it was pretty funny!"
I'm sorry, I really don't find the humor in witnessing words like that come out of such a sweet little mouth! Okay, maybe it was a little funny, but she better not ever say it again!

Cookie Time

At supper the other night, Ethan asked Josh for a cookie. Josh told him he could have one once he finished everything on his plate. Olivia quickly took the rest of her food off of her plate and set it on the table. Then she said, "Have a cookie now, Dada!"
I always knew she was going to be our sneaky one!
