Almost There!!

I started working on potty training earlier in the year, with a ok start and then it came to an abrupt hault. Knowing that my daughter is just as stubborn as I am and just as independant as I am, I knew that I had to let her do it on her own time frame and not when I wanted her to be potty trained!
In the past 3-4 weeks, every time I change her diaper, she wants to go sit on the potty. Luckily I had gotten her a step stool for the bathroom and the seat that goes on the toilet for her. She is tall enough to reach the light switch and takes care of everything all by herself without my help. She normally goes in there, sits on the potty, gets some toilet paper, wipes and then flushes and she is done. NEVER actually goes potty.
So yesterday, she was upstairs playing, I was in the kitchen unloading the dishwasher and she came downstairs and said she needed to go potty. So we went into the bathroom, she took off her diaper and was in quite a hurry to get seated on the potty. She quickly handed me her diaper and said eww and sat down on the toilet. She had started to go poopie in her diaper and wanted to go in the potty! YAY!!! Since it had been FOREVER since she had gone in the potty, she didn't just get a m&m, she got an Oreo!!!
And then, the topper...this morning when I went to change her diaper when she woke up, she wanted to go use the potty. Not out of the norm, so I sat in the living room and waited for her to get back. I sat there for about 30 seconds when I heard her go potty!! I jumped up and went into the bathroom. I was so excited that again she got an Oreo! I am sure she will still go potty in her diaper, but we are so much closer to being potty trained! I am so happy!
Potty training should be left to the pros!
