adventures in potty-land

Well we are getting closer to pottyland. It seems to be a long journey, but that may just be because we are taking it slowly.

Today Clara pulled off her diaper so I took that as a possible sign that she wanted to use her potty. I got it out and sat her on it and nothing happened :( It turned out she took the diaper off because it was wet...and because she seems to like to run around naked, but that is a story for another posting. But then about 45 minutes later she pulled her new diaper off and went to set on the potty without my coaxing. I thought she was just playing a game with me, but no... she did indeed need to use the potty.

By the end of the morning she had taken her diaper off and used the potty 4 times. I had no idea a kid could pee so much! At that time I had to go to bed and Pat took over the childcare duties. He said he didn't have any luck in the potty department this afternoon, but I'll take my small victories as they come.

that is SO awesome! yes, at first they pee every five seconds for at least a few days. :) that is why you need to be prepared to stay at home for at least 48 hours straight to REALLY get it down pat. It only took Jax 24 hours but hey he was 3 years 3 months by then! ;) Good luck! We are about to start with Preston since his communication is so good..still I have to say I am not looking forward to it..:)
