I was not anticipating starting potty training seriously, but I think we are at that point now. Yesterday, Natalie showed interest in using her princess potty, so we tried it. After books, videos, singing, cheering, and lots of time sitting on the bathroom floor...over 30 minutes to be exact...NOTHING. Yep, nothing, instead Natalie decided to go potty in her diaper right after she got it on...ugh!
However, today we showed some progress! Although we still sat on the bathroom floor for a long time, she did it! She went pee pee on the potty for the 1st time...after several M&M's of course...haha! I know parents usually bribe kids with m&m's after they go potty, but I don't think Natalie quite grasps this concept. It must have worked somewhat though because Natalie went potty twice and pooped once! Go Natalie!
Although I am excited for Natalie, I am selfishly not looking forward to the many trips to the bathroom and future accidents. I thought I didn't have time before, now I really won't, but in the long run it will be nice to have 1 out of diapers! I hope she continues to do well. I only wonder what this week will bring, and how she will do at daycare with it...that is if she continues to do well tomorrow.
