Venice update

So, here's some interesting updates on Venice...

Diana signed her up for preschool, which starts in the fall (we may pursue a summer session as well, but we'll see if a) there's room, and b) Venice is potty trained, etc.). This will be at the Rocklin Montessori Preschool, which is close by. Diana has visited and had the tour,etc., and it's really nice. Quiet, clean, fun, and an approach we like.

The interesting thing that came out of this is motivation for potty training. Venice was really excited by the school, but Di told her she couldn't go until she was potty trained. I can't recall the exact chain of events, but basically Venice got motivated,and wanted to try, so they went into the bathroom, and she went! Yea!

Venice has tried a few times since as well, and we're excited that this is hopefully the start of potty training. Venice has been wearing "pull-ups" diapers for a couple weeks now (only during the day as they don't stay on as well), which she loves, and I think they help too (she knows how to put them on and take them off).
