Potty training is not high on my list of thrills. I think I'm just watching and waiting for Leigh to train herself. I know in theory how we trained Abby, but I actually don't remember the specifics. Though parts of it come back as this goes on. Like the hours I spent sitting on the edge of the tub.
Leigh is different though. She likes to "use" the little kid's potty, not the big toilet. Abby never used the little one, she always used the big one. Maybe there's just more going on, Leigh doesn't want to miss it.
But Leigh still hates to use the potty. I can get her on there for about 10 seconds and then she's jumping up and around and ready to go, and not 2 minutes later has peed on the floor.
At home we are always wearing panties now, no diapers unless we are leaving the house. I think that it is sort of cluing through her brain that when she pees, she gets wet.
And the other day, I think it was Monday, I found half a poop in the potty!!!!! (Insert celebratory trumpet band here) Abby alerted me that Leigh smelled like poop and sure enough, she had some poop on her bum, but I couldn't find it anywhere! Finally I looked in the potty and there it was.
Though she proceeded to finish her business on the bedroom floor. But it's a start! It's the first we've got. I gave her a Lindor chocolate. Hopefully that encourages her to do it again.

hurray! they say that #2 is harder to train for, so hopefully it won't be long until she is 100%!!
And last night she even peed on the potty, but nothing today. But I'm hoping that it is clicking in her little brain.
