Potty Idol ⇒

Day two of potty training was amazing. It was one of those "my child rocks" days. I knew it was going to be a great day when Elise walked into the living room, saw her little box o' panties and said "op! Panty day! Better put on my panties!"

She earned five stickers on her potty poster by making it to the potty five times. She still didn't manage to get her panties off on time but she got there by herself and I haven't had to clean any messes off the carpet. Hooray!

The big "aha" moment came late in the afternoon when she hopped of the couch and sat down and lots of pee went in the potty (previously we had a lot of trickles) then when she was in the kitchen choosing her sticker, she suddenly bolted to the potty in the living room and landed a bunch more in her target. Way to go Elise!

But the best part of the day (besides all the hugs and smiles of pride on her face) was when she actually got a little poo in there too. She couldn't believe it and I've had a difficult time getting her to sit on the potty to do that (she makes a face so I can tell when she's going and offer her a seat each time which she has adamantly refused). Naturally this was cause for another great celebration.
