Admissions...

First on my list of things to admit...

January 1st Zoe voluntarily (without any suggestions from an adult or even a big brother who just wants candy) pulled off her diaper and sat on the potty. Then got up again, sat down again, got up, sat down, got up, sat down AND, that's right, pee'd in the potty. Oh hallelujah!

Finally, we have progressed to her climbing onto the real toilet. It's hard to be sure anything is happening, since there is no magic color change but we're pretty exciting none the less.


2. Somehow Zoe has figured out how to open the TV cabinet and get to the DVD player. Perhaps you remember 'The Great TV Incident of 2008.' History does not bode well for this. She managed to crash the shelf and jam the DVD player. I managed to completely avoid the topic by redirection (NOOOO, we don't want to watch a movie. Let's watch that favorite show of yours instead!) until I could pull the unit out when no one (uh, Jeff) was watching, turn it upside down and shake out all the DVDs. Oops. Don't tell Jeff. As far as we know, it's all working fine. *fingers crossed*
