Potty Time!

She did it! She finally went pee pee on the potty! I know this is just the beginning, but it seems like we just got past a huge hurdle. I had checked her diaper because I thought she was saying "diapey", but it was dry. And I knew it had been at least 2 hours since she last had it changed so I took her in the bathroom to sit on her potty. We were in there for awhile. I even pulled out the bubbles to help pass the time. Then she heard the Elmo's World theme song on in the other room, so she got off her potty and started walking out of the bathroom with her pants around her ankles. I grabbed her potty and followed her into the living room. I figured it's gotta come out eventually. We watched the entire Elmo's world segment which lasted about 15 minutes and nothing happened except a nice red ring on her bottom from sitting on the plastic for so long. During this time, she managed to completely undress herself and was sitting in the middle of the living room on her potty naked! So I asked if she wanted to take a bath. Of course her answer was "no". In the art of negotiating, I told her to put her pee pee in the potty instead. I think I was in a state of shock when a few moments later I heard it! The good news is it really didn't startle her. I tried to make sure she understood what happened by letting her look in the potty and see the pee pee. The only time she seemed a little frightened is when I poured her pee pee from her potty into the big potty. So I think next time I won't share that part with her.

Who knew I could ramble on so long about pee!
