Potty Training Progress

Tuesday morning marked a great milestone for baby K: she peed in her potty chair (at her own free will) for the first time! She had just woken up and was playing in her crib. For the past few weeks now, I've been asking her every morning if she wants to go pee pee, and the answer is always no. To my surprise, she said yes that morning, so I brought her into the bathroom and plopped her down on her Dora toilet seat. She sat for a while, then decided to get up and sit on her potty chair instead. She switched back and forth a few more times. After about 20 minutes (God has been teaching me much about patience through my little girl), she finally peed in the potty chair. I was practically shouting for joy at the top of my lungs, and she just acted like it was no big deal, giving me a look as if thinking, "mommy, you're weird." I shared the news with baby K's teacher when I dropped her off at daycare, and to my delight, she peed using the toilet later that morning while there. Minor progress was made on Wednesday and Thursday as she became more and more willing to sit on the throne. This morning marked another success - baby K peed using the toilet at home (a step up from her potty chair). I am so proud of my little girl! Hopefully this is the beginning to the end of diapers!
