Lately, Liv has been telling us she needs to go "poo poo" and "pee pee" but every time we put her on the toilet she just sits there and then after we put the diaper back on she goes potty. Well, I am not pushing the potty training thing (she is only 18 months old) but she has been giving us verbal cues. Probably from her older cousin who is doing so well with his potty training that she picked up that there was something special happening in the bathroom.
Today was the special day, after a short nap, Liv woke up and said she needed to go "pee pee" so I helped her in the bathroom and a few minutes later. . .success!!!
We shouted in excitement and had a little "I'm a big girl!" dance. SO much fun.
I don't expect perfection every day and I am still not pushing it but I love that she wants to. Any potty training advice is greatly appreciated since I have NO idea what I am doing.
Just a little side note of cuteness. I was sitting on our couch visiting with Travis and Olivia came and started playing with my hair. It was still damp from my shower and she laughed at the wet, cool feeling. Then she started petting my hair and calling it pretty. That really just made my day, so everyone out there, "I am Pretty!!"
