We’re in the process of getting Juliana comfortable with #2 on the potty, so tonight’s conversation went like this…
Jason: “Juliana, Are you going to go poo-poo tonight?”
Juliana: “No, I’m going to go poo-poo next week.”
Jasmine: “Ooh, that’s gonna hurt.”

4:57am | Jasmine just got her first giggles out of little Adeline. That just made my day! |

So, lately, Juliana has been mixing up her pronouns substituting “yours” for you and “mine” for me. And last night she learned that her “Heavenly Father loves mine”.
It started with a little self-induced constipation – Juliana has been hesitant to use the toilet when it comes to #2. She tends to hold it until naptime or bedtime when she is in a diaper but then finds it difficult to pass (a little TMI, I’m sure). Last night before bedtime, she’d been wincing a bit so we put her in a diaper and prepared her for bed. As she and I were saying her bedtime prayers, she began to wince so I suggested that we ask Heavenly Father to help her feel better. After we said “amen”, she turned to me and said “Heavenly Father is going to help me go poo poo.” I chuckled a silent laugh. kissed her, and said “yes” and “goodnight”.
About 15 minutes later, I heard her crying in her bed and went to her. I placed her on the potty, and we began reading a book (Great Grandma’s method and our latest approach to potty training). Just a minute later, we had success. And as I returned her to her bed, she said “Heavenly Father helped mine”. I said “Yes, Heavenly Father helped you because he loves you” and we said a thankful prayer. Before she laid down, she said over and over pointing at herself “Heavenly Father loves mine.”
I’m not sure she fully understands the concept of our Heavenly Father, but she knows He loves her nonetheless. I love our sweet child.

Juliana Says…
Ok, so Jason and I decided this morning to start a new feature on our blog, “Juliana Says…” to record some of the funny things she says. A few weeks ago, she awoke one morning to tell me “I don’t want to go to the Promised Land, Mommy.” Not sure why she didn’t want to go, but obviously, her Book of Mormon bedtime story stuck with her.
And this morning, we woke to hear Juliana over her monitor scolding the chirping bird outside her window. “You stop it, Birdy! ‘Nana (Juliana) is sleeping, Birdy!”
