…Why I am so happy I must share that today was our beginning twenty-four hour period of potty preparation!

Today Reli turned 20 months old, and we went on an adventure to purchase her very own potty. I have been preparing myself for this for a few weeks at present and kept putting it off because of our mount of other errands to run. She has been paying a lot of attention to us lately, hiding, and sometimes even telling usa she is "stinky", (She crinkles up her nose and sniffs actually hard. lol) so I felt we were set for it.

I hadn't exactly laid out a plan, only wanted to have the potty in the bath for her to go used to and sit on if she wanted to. And then tonight before her bath I asked if she would similar to sit on the potty. She nodded and nosotros read an Elmo potty sounds story together. I didn't really expect anything, but thought it would help her get used to the thought. We were almost finished when she looked down and then reached for the paper.

Low and behold she really did it!!

It doesn't matter that it was simply a tablespoon total, and who cares that when we put her in the tub she stood at that place and peed in the water! I think she was a piffling startled at first. What matters is that we followed through the routine (wipe, flush, clap, wash, G&G) and are on our way to the state of no diapers. Now we're crossing our fingers that training will be complete by her second birthday! She says a bunch of words (expanding rapidly), but nosotros aren't stringing them together just even so. I feel like letting us know she has to "go" volition be our toughest obstacle.

I'm just not sure of the next pace. Isn't she also immature to care about ownership "big girl" panties?
Is anyone in the same boat right at present? What have you done for incentives?
I know this can be wildly different for each kid, but "every little chip helps".

Cheers for humoring me!
