Potty Time!!!

"Daddy Daddy I poopood in the toilet!" -Brooklyn

AS the quote of the day suggests, this post has to do with potty. Brooklyn was introduced to "big girl panties" for the first time this morning, meaning we are now diaper free...yay!!! She is very proud of her new panties, and will tell you that she doesn't go potty in her new panties...which is almost true. I started off this morning making her breakfast and plugging her full of liquids figuring the more times I can get her to go potty, the better it is for potty training. So every few minutes I would ask her if she needed to go, and about 50% of the time she said she did. That being said, we missed the potty the first two times. She knew right when it happened where she needed to be. She would look down and say oh oh, and then wait for me to grab her to take her to the potty. So we had a little talk about the importance of letting Daddy know before going. So the third time, I still count it as a success, Brooklyn ran over to the potty all by herself, sat down, and started peeing! I jumped for joy and told her how proud I was, and then explained how equally important it is to make sure you remove your panties before going potty. After that, she went 3 for 3 and was dry after her nap. We'll see what the night brings, but we have already practiced what to do if she finds she needs to go potty in the middle of the night..."Daddy Daddy I need to go potty!" I just wanted to share our success today, and we hope to continue her streak tomorrow, knowing that there will be bumps in our path :)
