Alyssa is doing very well. Her speech has exploded in the last month. We were slightly concerned as she was just slightly delayed before but not really anymore. She isn’t perfectly clear yet and some words sound very much alike, but I have no worries about her speech. It is amazing to be able to have an actual two-way conversation with her now.
I’ve been wanting to talk to her about so much but finally she is just starting to be able to ask questions… Very simple questions but awesome all the same. We talk often about her belly button and how that’s where she was connected to her Birth Mommy. It’s very cute. So the conversations about life and how she got here begin.
One day two weeks ago she decided she was going to use the potty every day. “Mommy, I got to go Pee Pee” (or Poo Poo) she told me about 10 times that first day. Except for sleeping she has been NEAR accident free the last two weeks. She is very excited, as are we.
She has a “Princess Potty” that plays music when she uses it. She also gets stickers and she has been given a few larger My Little Pony prizes too. She was scared of anything but her potty chairs the first week, but is now happy to use an adult toilet also (with help of course). She also got to call family to announce she went Pee Pee/Poo Poo every time for the first week. It was probably the prize she was most exited about.
