the potty

Ella used the potty!

TWICE!

I think i'm more shocked than anyone really. I have really been wanting to buy Ella a potty for a while now and sort of introduce her to it, let her play with it, and then in a few months get down to business. I have a serious goal of having Ella completely potty trained by the time she turns two. Honestly, if potty training is hereditary, I might be in trouble though because I was three and a half before I had it down!

But still, Ella is smart and I am determined! I think I can speak for Tony on the fact that we are way way way over diapers... and before we start thinking about a second addition, Ella has to be out of diapers! :)

She really does seem to like her froggy potty though, as soon as we got it home she wanted to sit on it and when I asked her if she wanted to try and go potty she shook her whole body yes.

So she wiggled on out of her outfit, and I took her diaper off and she sat so proudly on her potty. Every now and then would look down and pat the froggy eyes on the front.

I had ZERO expectations, and all of a sudden... PEE!!

I know that this can only be this exciting for a mom, but really- I don't remember the last time I was THAT excited about something!

and she did indeed seem very proud of herself!

Sunday morning same story-

as soon as she woke up I asked her if she wanted to go potty and she smiled and shook her head yes. Almost immedietly after she sat on the potty she looked down and watched and started to pee, and seemed very excited with how happy Tony & I were!

and then she got a cookie :)

and she was pleased.

I still think we're going to wait a little bit longer before we really start potty training, right now as long as she is interested I think i'll let her sit on the potty and "try" to go.

She is a big fan of being naked and having no diaper on,

and already knows that if she doesn't want to wear a diaper,

then she HAS to sit on the potty

Well wish me luck :)

I have a feeling we're going to be on a wild ride!
