Adam and I bought Scout a potty chair a little over a month ago. We felt like it was a little early to start potty training, but she had been showing some signs, like pulling at her diaper as if it were annoying her. We've not been forceful with potty training Scout, but slowly introducing it to her while trying to make it as fun as possible. At first, it was just a toy to her. Within a week or so, she connected that it was something to sit on and really enjoyed sitting on it while I was in the bathroom or even using the bathroom. She would sit on her potty before bath time each night and some through the day. We couldn't wait for her to pee in it for the first time. We were hoping once she did, she would make a connection and the official potty training would begin. Well, she did just that on Wednesday while my mom was keeping her. I was at work and got one of the most beautiful picture messages on my phone, Scout's pee in the potty. I know, only a mother would understand my excitement! I was so proud of Scout! I thought, yes, she finally did it! Now let's hope she's made the connection! Since then, Scout has peed in the potty once. Today, she starting pulling on her diaper wanting it off, so I took it off. We went to the bathroom, she sit on her potty and within seconds, she pooped in the potty for the first time. Again, I was stoked! I made such a big deal about it and I could tell that Scout was proud!
This is a big step for a 16 month old. Let's hope it continues to go well.
Here's a YouTube video of Elmo learning to potty train. I thought it was cute and might humor some of you moms:
I'm a proud mama, but not so proud that I'll share the pictures of her poop and pee in her potty. And yes, I have a pictures to prove it! Instead, I'll share a few pictures of the Potty Princess! Enjoy!
This was at the Museum of Appalachia's Homecoming. Scout is always so happy!
Posing in front of the pumpkins.
I love it when she makes that face. She's pointing as something she really likes and is saying, "Oooooohhh!" This was at Dollywood and Scout says, "Go Vols!"
Could she possibly get any cuter?
For my moms birthday, we went to Briarwood Drive Thru Safari in Bybee, TN. We had so much fun and Scout really enjoyed looking at the animals. In this picture, Scout is waving at a group of people doing a wagon tour. She loves the attention!!
I love this picture of Scout. This was either right before or after she threw Baby Bunny out the window. Nappy had to get out to rescue her. Baby Bunny had to take a bath in the washer soon after that because she got very dirty! :)
This was taken at Cousin Cierra's birthday dinner at Outback. I never did get a good picture of Scout that night. She was too busy walking around the banquet room drinking her juice.
This picture was taken in our back yard. Check out Scout's first pimple. Hehe! It's all cleared up now! ;) Scout looks so big girlish in this picture. It makes me so sad! :(
Again, looking like a big girl. Where's my baby girl?? :(
