You see, we bought Jordyn a potty chair back in September, and she loves it. Whenever she sits on it she get the biggest grin that screams "Mommy Wow! I'm a BIG GIRL now!" We frequently give her the opportunity to sit on her "potty." She knows exactly where to go (the 1/2 bath) when we tell her to go sit on the potty, she climbs on her little stool and tries to get on the seat by herself, but we usually lend a helping hand. Then she reaches for the toilet paper, and wipes. Drops the paper in the bowl and hurries onto her stool so she can watch it go down the toilet. When she's all done she washes her hands (I hold her up to the sink and turn on the water, but she pretty much does the rest on her own). She dries her hands, gets a new diaper out of the cupboard and heads out. But as you can see, there is one very important step missing.

Well, when you figure out that important step, send Jordyn over to teach Peyton! ;-) I hope potty training goes easy for you. It certainly looks like you've got a head start! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteShelby is the same way! She has successfully gone to the bathroom on the toilet twice, and once in the potty...but that is only three days out of a whole bunch! I am sure they were merely by accident. Let me know if you figure out how to teach that key skill!
ReplyDeletethat is an important step but thats awesome she sits on it for that long!
