In True Mom Style

As I do every night I asked Carley to go potty before her bath. She, as always, excitedly placed her Sesame Street insert seat on the toilet and reached out her arms to be placed on it. I lifted her up and half-heartedly told her to go pee-pee in the potty. Then I started straightening up the sink. As I was working about I heard a little tinkle. That's right- a little tinkle. I turned to Carley and I said Carley are you going pee pee? She smiled at me and I clapped like crazy. She was quite amuzed and continue to void in the potty at an honest rate. I was shocked. I have put this child on the pot for weeks and weeks before her bath in an attempt to keep her from peeing in the tub. I was so happy for her success last night. You could tell she was really happy with herself. Then I showed her how we wiped- she wasn't very interested and then she flushed it away. Now I am truly outing myself as the typical mom. I proceeded to announce this pee pee party to her aunt and cousin and grandma. Yes, I'm a mom!
Looks like I'll have to find other times of the day to make this part of our regular routine. Though, I will promise I am not ready to train her yet. She's not really well at expressing herself yet in words. But I think we will start making the potty a more consistent part of her day instead of just her night. Woo Hoo!
