It's Potty Time!

A long while back we purchased a potty ring that fits on the toilet. For sanitation and sanity sake, I wasn't about to go with a potty chair. So I introduced the ring by placing it on the floor in the master bath. Since Mommy can't go to the bathroom alone anymore it gave us the perfect opportunity to try it out. So when accompanied to the bathroom I plop Arabella down on the seat. She'd usually sit there for a few minutes and then hop up and drag the ring around the bedroom.

After tripping over the ring several times I moved it to her bathroom. When it's time for her to take a bath we undress her in her room and the second she's let down she bolts for the bathroom, knowing that it's bath time. So I started to place the ring on the toilet and we let her sit on the potty while the bath tub is filling. Usually she just stares at us and hangs on the to handles. It's quite the sight.

So we followed our usual routine tonight, but just as Daddy shut the bath water off she did it... we heard "tinkle, tinkle, tinkle." Our big girl peed in the potty!!!!! It was exciting for Mommy and Daddy. Of course Arabella looked at us like we lost our marbles because of our clapping and hollering. I'm hoping this is a good start to what will become our potty training adventure.
