They all told me it would happen this way...

So Miss Nina seems to be potty trained.
Last week she was peeing in her pants and this week she is not...so weird.
She still needs a pull up at nap and at bedtime but she is dry all day...
It started last Friday when I picked her up at school, her teacher told me she's been dry for a couple days during the day so starting Monday to pack changes of clothes and send her to school in underwear...so I was feeling pretty good about this and started her in underwear Friday night and we spent all weekend living large in Elmo and Princess underwear. Nina does not like to call them panties.
It is so weird to see this little person walk up the stairs and when asked where she is going she says "to the potty!"

Nina completed her evals for her IEP so I am anxious to hear back once they scored her.

Other than that we are trying to get something together to have a little party for her next month.

Growing up...


I know I do not update this blog as much as I should, but I wanted to update you guys on Nina's progress these days.
A few weeks ago we moved her into a toddler bed! We made sure her first experience sleeping in it was naptime and it worked out great. I can't believe we were so nervous that she would not transition well to a bed.

Nina's been water coloring and using other paints for a while now. It's one of her fav things to do. She can sit for an hour or so and paint stuff for us.
She still loves her babies and tells us repeatedly that she has a baby sister in her belly and she will come out on her birthday and play babies with her.

She'll be 3 on March 11. Crazy! If you would have told me in the NICU that she would have turned out this strong and smart and just able to be a "3 year old" with other kids, I would have never believed it. EVER. It's just amazing to me that she escaped so many preemie issues...I will say I am always waiting for the other shoe to drop, but I think that is normal.

As far as Nina's stats. I think she is about or over 30 pound mark. She is still on the small side for height coming in at 34 inches. She eats like she is a 15 year old boy.
She is jumping now with two feet off the ground. She likes to think she is great at forward rolls, she can do them , but most of the time they are sideway rolls.

She is doing well at school and loves going to see her friends.
