It's Potty Time

A few months ago I had seen this potty chair and thought it was so cute. Carys has been playing with it on and off since we got it. Now that she's walking, Tim and I thought we might see if she's interested in trying to use her potty. Last night before her bath she sat on it and pottied and again this morning. Tim and I cheered and cheered for her last night. She looked at us like, "what are you so excited about you crazy people". This morning was so neat because after breakfast I asked her if she wanted to go potty. I was carrying her and she pointed us right into the bathroom and was trying to get out of my arms to her potty chair. Once I put her down she was trying to get her pj's off. I helped, we took her diaper off and she sat on the potty. She looked around for a few minutes, played with the shower curtain and then.....she pottied. When she potties her chair sings to her. I made such a big deal of it that we woke Tim up. Carys was so proud of herself - she was smiling and clapped. We will take this whole potty training slow and let her take the lead. As long as she shows interest...we will too! She such a smarty!!
P.S. I did take a picture of her peepee in the potty, but we'll save that for Carys, Tim and I. I'm sure you appreciate that.

How exciting!! It sounds like Carys is such a big girl. Good luck with the potty training. I'm so happy that she is walking now. MaKenna started walking a couple of days before 4th of July and now she thinks she is big stuff. I loved the video of Carys walking and then smelling the flowers.... Too cute!

Well I better go.

Love,
