Self-directed

in potty training of course.....only in my household would this be the case. When we first got Payton's potty she was really interested in using it. I think we had one actual success during that time. Then she decided it would be more fun to put the adapter (for lack of better words) on the big potty and use it that way. We had two successful attempts. Then she became completely disinterested in using the potty altogether. That is, until yesterday. She was pretending to use the potty on Monday. Sitting on it with her clothes on and even pretending to wipe herself with toilet paper. Yesterday she sat on the potty for Shane and actually urinated. Then at night she went on the potty for me. So that brings us to today (and the self directed part.) I asked her if she wanted to sit on the potty when I got home from work and she said no. So I left it alone. I was in the kitchen, feeding Caleb when I hear the sounds of a diaper being removed. I went to see what she was doing and there she was taking off her diaper, lifting up her shirt and sitting on the potty. It was a successful attempt!!! About 2 hours later, she was watching Beauty and the Beast and did the exact same thing. Again, we had another successful attempt! So I guess if this continues, we will officially be potty training. My baby girl isn't such a baby anymore. I think that will really hit me when I no longer have to buy diapers for her. =(
