She chose her outfit, down to the headband
Someone woke up at 4:30 this morning (not saying who it was, but I'll tell you it was NOT the baby. or me. or Justin) and while this would usually mean grumpy, clingy, and temper tantrum-y, it has been a surprisingly smooth morning. She's been entertaining herself all morning, and came and got me when she needed a diaper change.* I changed her out of her jammies (SHOCK!) and after I told her no when she asked to wear a church dress, she settled on jeans, a long sleeve tee, her tutu, and my yellow felt flower headband. Then, she asked me to turn on the radio in her room so she could dance (and sing, apparently.)
While I don't enjoy waking up (and staying up) at 4:30am, I do love mornings like this.
*we've been throwing in subtle hints to try to prepare her to use the potty. she usually says no, but she brought it up on her own this morning when I changed her. maybe she'll be ready soon!! I don't want to force her into anything, so I'm taking my time, but I secretly (or not-so-secretly) really really want her to hurry up already.

I really love this picture of Rowan- she is so spunky! I might try the tutu with jeans today.
Don't be in to much of a rush to potty train. We started Rachel 5 months ago and we still have to tell her its time to go or she'll wet her panties and pull ups are treated like diapers. But we haven't had to change a poopy diaper in 5 months either.
