Molly has been doing really well with potty training. She is wearing underwear and is able to get on and off the potty by herself :). We have a set up that allows her to wash her own hands, which has been a huge step towards improving her independence. This has increased her desire to do more by herself and like everyone else. She is now flushing the big toilet when she has finished (even though she is going on the little potty). I was fine with this step and happy with her continued drive to be independent. I walked in this morning to check on her and she said "look, all clean" (her hands were all wet)... it only took me a second to realize what she had done... yes, she washed her hands in the toilet - ick!! We have since discussed how dirty the toilet is and to please not do that again. On a humorous side I realized that a toilet would be the perfect accessible sink for a little person (assuming it was NEVER used for anything but a sink).
One new quote:
"I didn't hear a please" (when I asked her to go wash her hands)
We are getting ready to head to Gatlinburg next week for a gathering with 7-8 other families with children with OI. We are really excited to meet/see all of these families and for Molly to have some time with other kids with OI.
