So tonight at bath time, I decided to introduce Emma to the potty. I sat down in the floor in front of it and she came over and very attentively listened as I explained, this was her potty and from now on when she had to go potty she needed to tell Mommy and we would let her go in there instead of using her diaper. We were getting ready to take a bath, so I took all her clothes off and invited her to have a seat. Being the outgoing child that she is, she got right on it and sat down and just kept saying, "potty, potty, potty". Within 2 minutes she had used her potty and she was yelling for Daddy to come and see. She was so proud of herself. Her Daddy came running in and gave her a sticker, of course we told her good job and how proud we were of her.
It did not stop there, we had to call everyone in the family to celebrate and share the great news.

Yes, we even had to give the potty a hug too. We will have to make sure she knows she can not do this when we are out in public, YUCK!

Yes, our 17 month old was introduced to her potty for the 1st time today and utilized it twice. We are so proud of her and what a big girl she has become. Her Daddy kept telling her, "you are going to be able to teach your Baby Brother how to do all kinds of things". You continue to amaze us daily, baby girl!

That is great! Keep up the good work Emma!!!!
Oh my goodness! That is really awesome! I got a potty for Reagan (2 years old) and all she wanted to do was play with it. No potty interest here. Phooey!
Miss Emma should be VERY proud of herself! She is going to be an awesome big sister!
Those pictures are absolutely precious! I especially love the one of the "potty hug"! Too cute!
Yeah for Emma...she is so SMART :) I wonder where she gets that from????
That is too cute! She is a big girl for taking to her throne so quickly. ;o)
Yay!! Way to go Emma. It's looking like she will be an easy one to train. My advice, now that she's doing it...Don't stop. Keep it consistant for her. I love that potty chair too. Keep up the good work. You will love not having to change two diapers.
You've been tagged....See my blog!
Yea for the potty! Definitely agree she shouldn't do that in the public restrooms! Ha!
Hi! I found your blog off of Lianna's and I love it! Your little girl is precious! I have a 3 y-o and an 18 month old and are TRYING to get her to love the potty. FOr some reason she loves it with Nana and not Mommy. (??)
=)
I stumbled on your blog from Danielle's. I have a 16mo old little boy who keeps telling us "I poo poo." I have been wondering if its time to get out the potty!
We certianly hope we have the same excitment as you have!
