Spontaneous Potty Time

Tonight after dinner, you were running around naked while you were supposed to be getting in the bath. However, you love streaking through the house and it is pretty funny, so I let you be naked when you want, and you love screaming "naked mommy".

In the midst of that you said something about potty. And I immediately said, "Do you need to go potty?" You nodded and said "yes" and I thought hmm maybe I should give this a shot.

Knowing that we had a little Elmo potty out. It has been sitting there for a while, and honestly, I have been meaning to put it away until we are ready for the whole potty training time. You have been using it as a seat, stool, or just another way to hear Elmo talk to you (It talks when you touch it). But tonight I thought what the heck, I will try. 

I said, "here come sit with Elmo, and go potty." You went straight to that potty, sat down, tinkled, and got so scared you jumped off midstream and squealed. Daddy and I started hootin' and holerin' telling you how awesome you did and that you were such a big girl, and that you should high five Elmo. After giving Elmo some skin, you said "Again, mommy" sat down and went again, and again, and again, until you were just pretending. I had to pull you off and tell you that potty could come take a bath with you for you to take a bath. Don't worry you eventually forgot about that part.

So I guess if I want to be a consistent parent...let the potty training begin? We will see how tomorrow goes ;)
