Yay potty!
I’ve been bad about keeping up this blog but today there is BIG NEWS. Nina used her potty for the first time! We got this new froggie potty a few days ago, and it’s been sitting in the bathroom, and she has enjoyed sitting on it but not producing. Tonight after dinner I asked her if she wanted to pee-pee, and she said, “YES.” So we climbed the stairs to the bathroom and she headed for the potty with pants on. I took the pants and the diaper off. She sat back down and, to my great surprise, I heard her peeing. She got up and said, “All done!” and then she looked down into the pot and said, “waaa-tuh.” She seemed happy but a little astounded. I congratulated her and told her that she’d done exactly the right thing. She then went into her bedroom, got into PJ’s and I put her to bed after Babar and some nursing. I hope she keeps up the good work and that this means the beginning of the end of overpriced diapers. It felt like a huge accomplishment. I am quite proud.

Ginny that is great that Nina went on her potty, she is such a good girl. I love that she said waatur (one of her favorite words). 18 months is very young to get potty trained, good for her and good for you.
