So, yesterday Jason and I had the joy of taking Kaelyn to Babies R' Us (Sorry I can't figure out how to type the "R" backwards!) to purchase a potty. I honestly wasn't thinking, "Alright, I'm going to potty train Kaelyn." My serious thought was, ok, we'll give this a try, and see if it works! If it does, great, if not, we'll put the potty on the shelf for another few months and try again.
So, last night we got home with the potty, and Kaelyn was so excited she was actually helping us put it together. As soon as we got it together, she opened the lid right up and took a seat! (Step number 1 of potty training... Not bad!)
So, since she was such a willing participant last night, I figured today at regular intervals I would take her in there diaper free, and see what would happen. I plopped her on there a few times, and she was so happy to be there. In fact at one point today I found her in the bathroom on her potty, of her own free will (fully clothed of course!)
Our last attempt of the night, I had put her on there, and we were happily reading the potty story book we bought with the potty last night, and all of the sudden she stood up, and a few drips came out! YAY!!! I had gotten her back on the potty, and we managed to get A WHOLE DRIP into the potty! So, I would say, day 1 of potty training was a success! Let's hope the rest of the days can be this good! Maybe tomorrow we'll get two drips in the potty!
