Avery has been managing to pee on the potty once a day since her breakthrough. We've also had a big poop on the potty right at bedtime the past few nights. I'm pleased with her efforts!
I also wanted to make some notes on the books that Avery has been adoring. She definitely gets on kicks with books. A while back she was obsessed with Pat the Bunny. As of late her obsession is Dog's Colorful Day. We often see I'm a Little Teapot too (not my favorite).
As to her Christmas gifts it seems that the art easel is well loved, but I think the biggest success was the ice cream stand. She plays with it most every night and I can see how her play with it will evolve as she learns and gets older.
