This morning I was awakened at 6am by whimpers through the monitor that didn’t sound like her normal sleeping noises, so I went in to investigate. “Thirsty” is what I heard when I came in, so I gave her something to drink, and went to put her back in her crib, and she said “No! Potty! Potty potty!!” I asked if she had gone potty and she said no, but kept saying potty. I checked her diaper- dry from all night, so I asked, “Do you want to go sit on your potty?” “YES! Potty!” So off we went to the bathroom, and she sat down on her little “throne”. I sat on the floor thinking we were in for another 5-10 minute sit that generally produces nothing, but about 3 minutes after she sat down, she said “wet” and then started going! Unfortunately she was sitting a bit too far forward, so it got on her nightgown, the floor, and my hand, but once I got her to scoot back a bit, we were in business! Yes, there was a bit of clean up to do after, but I was so happy that she actually used the potty correctly for the first time!! She wanted to sit on the potty a lot after I got home from work today, too, but so far we haven’t had a repeat of this morning, but I didn’t expect 2 in one day. But we are making progress!! Now if I could just find Pull-ups that fit her better we’d be set! She’s still quite comfortably in a size 3 diaper, and the smallest Pull ups I’ve found are a size 4 (Pampers Easy Offs). They work, but they are a bit big. I’ve even looked in to the cloth training pants (though washing those doesn’t sound like very much fun, and I’m afraid of leakage) but they all seem to be made for average sized 2 year olds, and Jordan is about the size of a normal 12 month old. If any of you who read this blog have any suggestions about smaller training pants I’m open for suggestions! For now I’m just dealing with what we have, and hoping she doesn’t have a tummy flu any time soon!!
PS- I put new pics up for March- we went to Disneyland on St. Patty’s Day! FYI- The pics are in reverse chronological order.
