HUGE Milestone Of The Day!

If you asked me a year and a half ago if I thought Hope would potty train - I would have probably teared up and said - "I don't know."  Not even the neurologist could say for sure.    This year, she has done so well in most areas  - but it seemed that the "switch" that made her realize "I have to go." wasn't working.  If I didn't bring her to the bathroom, she would just have an accident.  And she didn't care. 

A week or so ago - she amazed me when she actually walked into the bathroom, got herself on the potty seat and went.  Unfortunately , she forgot to pull her pants down.   But that did not stop me from doing a huge HAPPY DANCE!

Well, today you can only imagine my joy when I heard her go into the bathroom all by herself and she remembered everything!  I cried - I think you really have to be a mom of a special needs kid to understand what kind of accomplishment it is. 

It was one of those "WOW - all that hard work paid off!"  kind of moments.  It makes me want to scream out - There's no stopping her!
