Breaking news

I have exciting news. But I think I'm getting overly excited about it. I am trying not to be too happy too early by this. And what is all this about you say?

I have for some time now been introducing K to the potty. When I say introduce, I mean I'd take it out to show it to her, try to get her to sit on it, ask her if she needs to wee or poo, tell her she needs to do it in the potty.

Well, she thinks it's all a game. She would sit on it fully clothed and then get up and continue this repeatedly, put it over her head like a hat, stand in it, push it around the house like a cart, etc. You get the idea.

She has been able to tell me whenever she poops. And it has been very accurate of late. But it would be better to tell before, instead of after or during, yes? This evening, she said, "Poo poo." So I checked her. There was none. So quickly, I helped her undress and put her on the potty. She smiled and then stood up and happily walked everywhere half clothed. Nothing.

I just let her be. Then later I saw her pretending (or so I thought) to drink from the potty. I stopped her and she looked sheepish. Then I realised that there were some little puddles of water around her. My first thought was that the dog peed in it. But how can (and why would??) a dog sit on the potty to pee? I checked the potty and indeed there was pee in it!!!!

My conclusion? K did her first wee wee in the potty! Yay. Good news indeed. As for the poo poo she mentioned? Well, I didn't see it tonight. Maybe tomorrow.
