3!!!!!

Turning 3 was a big hit! From the early morning wakeup ("Is it my birthday now?") and her very own doctor's kit to the pink dinosaur cake that popo and gong gong helped make, it was a great day. But the funniest part of the whole day has to do with bodily functions.


For some time now, Sojo has had zero desire to be potty trained. Like, to the point of crying if we even ask her to wear underwear or try using the potty. So, as with everything with her, we let her go at her own pace. She seems to know when she wants to do things. My mom asked her a few days ago when she was going to start going on the potty and she announced, "When I'm three." Sure enough, she wore underwear almost all day yesterday, but really just did all the bathroom stuff in the underwear and never tried to get to the potty. This morning, on her third birthday, mom and dad sent me an email at school that on her 3rd birthday, she pooped on the potty. Came home to see that cute little butt not covered with a diaper anymore. Let the games begin!

Happy Happy Birthday Sojo! What a great day, cake and costume! Nice way to celebrate being three!

Now Sojo has learned our way of using the comode, will it be difficult for her to learn the Asian way? Does her school have toilets or squat spots (pots)?
