Tay's First Potty!

My little Tay is growing up so fast. 

 

I have been thinking about starting potty training in the next few months, so we bought a couple different types of potties, and while we were at Toys R Us today, I got a on-the-big-toilet mini-seat for Tay to sit on.  I didn't think anything of it except to get her familiar with the seat.  I let her play with the seat in the living room and then I showed her how to sit on it with her diaper on so she'd feel comfortable. 

 

Later in the day, she was running around, and she got that look like she was about to go #2.  She always sort of hides behind something before she actually goes lately, so we knew she needed to go when she started to hang out behind Jeff's Lazyboy.  I followed her back there and asked her if she needed to poo-poo.  Surprisingly, she nodded so I took her hand and walked her over to the bathroom.  I placed her potty seat on the big toilet, took off her shorts and diaper, and sat her on the seat.  I kneeled down in front of her and made a "hnnnn" sound to tell her to push and she just laughed at me and squirmed to get off the seat.  I handed her something she hadn't seen before to play with to distract her so she'd sit still a little longer, and kept making the silly sound.  Soon after, she started making the same sound and suddenly, plop!  She had gone #2.  I clapped my hands and cheered for her, and she clapped for herself, too!  :)

 

After cleaning her up, we continued to cheer as we went to get a new diaper and put her shorts back on. 

 

I know all of you fine readers wanted to know about that...or maybe not, but it was my baby's first use of the big potty and she did so well I HAD to write about it!

 

I'm so proud of my little girl...she's growing so fast.  It was the best Father's Day present for Jeff (he says!).  :)

 

Hope everyone had a wonderful Father's Day, otherwise!

 

Love,

A very proud Umma
