Potty Talk - Day #2

--

Bella did well at school again yesterday wearing panties all day (except naptime) with only one accident (and that was right after she got up from her nap and they took the diaper off! Hey - accidents will happen!!! I am just so thrilled at her interest and how well she is doing. She also had a tiny accident while we were eating supper - but she did sit on the potty afterwards and try!! In other exciting news - she even poopied on the potty last night (hey - you were warned that this was a potty talk post!). It was quite a chore to get her to put her pull up on last night for bed! She finally did. And this morning -we took it off as soon as we got up and she used the potty with no problems!! Then put on her big girl Ariel panties!

And now for the embarrassing photo I know you've all been waiting for!

Then she wanted me to take a picture of her in her big girl panties! And of course, Brooklyn had to be included....

Could it be??? Just maybe...

Bella is getting the hang of using the potty!

She wore "panties" all day at school yesterday with no accidents. Granted, her teacher did have to stay on her asking her if she needed to go potty. BUT - every time the teacher asked her she did indeed sit on the potty and tee-tee!! Oh my - do you know how excited I was to arrive at school yesterday and see her sitting on the potty?!?!? I just kept telling her how proud I was and how proud Daddy would be when she told him. And she said she was proud of herself, too!!! She did get stickers for going potty at daycare (which if anyone knows Bella - she LOVES stickers)!

Yesterday was our 8th Anniversary, so we went to Mobile for dinner and then we went to Target and got some "potty essentials"! We had a "little potty" that sits on the floor but at school they only have a regular (although shorter) toilet - so we got a ring for ours and a little stool so she can step up and get on the "big potty" easier! Then of course, we had to get some new panties (because you know she didn't have any - haha!). She was asleep by the time we got home last night - but..

--

This morning she sat on the potty before she got dressed and she did not want to wear a diaper - she only wanted panties!! YAY!! After she (and Brooklyn) had sat on the potty this morning, I had removed the ring from the toilet and moved their stool out of the way - but before weleft, she had gone back into the bathroom and informed me that the toilet lid should be up, her ring on the potty and her stool in front of it, so she could use the potty! And we didn't have any accidents on the way to school. Hopefully, she's had a good "potty" day at school!!!

Yesterday was certainly an exciting day in our house with this big event!!!

In the words of another bloggy mommy....

Between it being used as an ottoman for her feet and a stool so she can look in the mirror, this potty is going to have an identity crisis!!!!

--

Seriously, Bella shows absolutely, postively zero interest in using the potty. She will tell me when she needs (or wants) a diaper change and even when Brooklyn might need one - but if you ask her if she wants to use the potty, she says no...And we aren't going to force her - we know that when SHE is ready, she will do it!!!

Could it be...

that Brooklyn will be potty trained before Bella???
