Potty Time!
I bought a Graco Soft Seat Potty Trainer a few weeks ago and have been sitting Gwen on it once or twice a day. Normally, she sits for a minute and then emphatically announces, “UP!” and then stares in it. And giggles.
(She’s really far too cute.)
Today, though, it had been almost 3 hours since she’d been changed, so we headed upstairs to change what I thought was going to be a SOAKED diaper. She was dry, so on the off chance something might happen, I plopped her on the potty and handed her a book. I was going to read it to her, but she pulled it out of my hand to look at the pictures and immediately peed!
YAY!
I know it doesn’t mean that she’s going to potty train even REMOTELY soon, but I was pretty excited that she peed on the potty. I think we’ve got a pretty smart cookie on our hands who will figure it out fairly quick once she puts her mind to it, and hopefully with a few more happy accidents like the one today, she’ll figure it out sooner rather than later!

yay gwen!!! that’s great kim. what did she think of it once she did it? did you let her dump it in the toilet? did she get to flush?
liam gets so excited about flushing that its become his reward. he only gets to flush if he goes so now he knows that flushing = good

I’m not entirely sure what she thought of it … but she seemed to think it was pretty cool! She’s too little to dump the pee herself or flush, but she does enjoy waving ‘bye-bye’ to it
