Potty Time!

Well, wish us luck. We started potty training this week. Now before everyone starts giving me their point of view let me first say I know she's young. But here's my thoughts: I'm at home all day so why not, if it works - great!, if it doesn't - no big deal. We started on Tuesday. I still had pet sitting on Monday and didn't want to be dragging her around town while trying to learn such a valuable lesson. So really we've only been in this for two days now. So far she seems pretty ok with the idea of sitting on the potty. We bought her a Tigger and Pooh chair, Cinderella Pull-Ups, and M&M minis for rewards. Right now I give her one just for sitting on the chair. On Tuesday she did actually pee in the potty. I've never been so proud. he he he. That was really our only success so far. I've decided to only really try at times when I know she has to go and if she gets too upset for trying we stop immediately. I definitely don't want her to have any negative reactions with this.

Other than that things are good. She had her 15 month check up yesterday and everything looks great. Doctor did say she's a little small. Nothing to really be concerned about yet. She has grown in height but actually lost a tiny bit of weight since her 12 month visit. Basically she's tall and thin - don't we all want that? But like I said, nothing to worry about. They'll look more into things in Dec. if she hasn't grown more by then. She is reaching all her milestones and then some. Luckily for...well everyone...she doesn't have to have shots at the next visit. She cries (very loudly!) the entire visit. It's very hard to communicate when you can't even hear your own voice. Poor girl.

Here's a picture of her first time on the potty. That's her "good girl" ear by the way. It's the ear from her stuffed dog. It came off when she tried to pull the entire thing through the slats on her crib. Now she carries it everywhere she goes - much easier that the whole thing.
