Yesterday was the first day of teaching Lady all about the benefits of the potty. After 2 days of nakedness from the waist down, this little girl is starting to grasp the concept. She's successfully done #1 and #2 a few times now and is quite proud of herself after the fact! Jen, your post couldn't have come at a better time. Along with the candy reward (one Smartie for #1 and a Hershey's Nugget for #2), she has been MOST excited about the potty-dance afterward. She demands we dance and twirl after each successful trip to the bathroom. I don't think I could sell my potty-song to a record label or anything, but she seems to think it's great!
If you notice her red bum, THAT is the reason I finally got fed up enough to start potty training. This child's skin is so sensitive, she breaks out ALL.THE.TIME. It's better in cloth diapers, but it even happens in those. Poor thing. She just needs breathable, cotton panties and her bum will thank me. She probably won't get those for another couple of days, though. That will be another sweet reward once I know she's got it down pat.
I can't believe I'm almost to only 1 in diapers again. What a glorious thing!
