Potty Stories

The realm of pottying has beena wonderful adventure around here lately. We seem to have really gotten the nack of this thing down as long as Kaelyn and I tag team it. For the last week, we have managed 1 to 2 accidents a day, and most of those have been in the evening or when she is outside. She has been so cute about it and gets so excited when she goes. She has gotten used to using other peoples potties too. Yeah, I don't have to carry the potty in my bag everywhere. It stays in the car, but it doesn't have to always go in now. Today, she came running to me and said "pee pee" pointing to her panties and we ran to the potty and she went. As of late, her saying "pee pee" has been an after the fact thing, so this was an awesome step in the right direction. She is dry most mornings now and at nap times, so my diaper wash has been almost nothing. I have really enjoyed learning so much through this process and Kaelyn enjoys being successful. One of her new favorite things is to put on her Elmo panties. We only wear these in the house for now, but you mention them and she goes buserk, "elmo, elmo, elmo" over and over again. She won't let you help her put them on. Of course she doesn't quite have the nack down yet, but her efforts are priceless. She most often gets both feet in one hole and then tries to pull them up and starts whining. It is really cute except for the whining.
