The Ebmeyer Family
Hi. We're the Ebmeyers. We love to swim, swing at the park, go for walks, ride our bikes, play at the beach, read books, dance, and really just be together. The only thing better than this is sharing it with friends. In the words of Jack Johnson, "It's always better when we're together".

It's official....I think. Reagan is now potty trained. She has gone 5 days now wearing "undies" all day without one single mishap! Monday the 2nd of June 2008 will always hold a dear place in my heart. While outside Brock and I were watching Reagan ride her bike when she stopped and said "Mommy, I be right back" we watched as she ran around the corner and into the house. Could it be? No, I don't believe it. When we got inside we found Reagan sitting on her potty chair going potty! Wow, was I proud. It's amazing. we no longer have to sit with her for 20 mins. and ask her to go to the bathroom like in this video. (I hope she doesn't hate us for life when she sees that we exposed her "pushing one out") I just thought it was too funny how arduous it was for her. Anyway, now Reagan just runs in the bathroom when she needs to go. Sometimes I don't even know she's gone until I hear the clanking of the M&M jar where she carefully counts out three for her reward. I do want to add that I never thought I'd see this day. It took about 2 months of sitting next to her on the potty playing games, doing puzzles, reading books, doing flash cards just to get her to stay seated. Just days before the blessed event, my first day trying to go out in public without a diaper, she had a pretty successful first half of the day. We had two birthday parties to go to and the first one was a success but the second party at a different park didn't have a public bathroom. I brought the potty with us and put it under a tree far from everyone. She wouldn't have anything to do with it. It was a pool party and there was no way she was getting out of that pool to freeze and sit on the pot. Needles to say, right before we were about to leave I hear Reagan yelling "Moommy poo poo"! as poo is running down her leg into the grass in the middle of the party. Yeah, I was the mom of THAT kid. The one who poos in the middle of a birthday party.
