Tonight an amazing thing happened... at least amazing to the Mom of an almost 21 month old. :) Abi and I went upstairs to get her ready for bed and while she was lying on her changing table, I asked her if she needed to go potty. She gave me the sign for "please". I figured that opportunity was knocking and I had better take advantage of it. :) So we went into our bathroom and I put her on the toilet. After a few moments, tinkle, tinkle, tinkle. She looked SO proud! I, of course, praised her highly then got her dressed. We went downstairs to play some more before bed.
About 30 minutes later, Abi looked at me, pointed to her diaper and said 'stinky' (in her super cute Abi voice). I asked her if she needed a new diaper. She said "no". I asked her if she needed to go potty. She said "please". I took her into the bathroom again, got her undressed, put her on the toilet... and again she used the big-girl toilet!
I haven't been pressuring her to use the potty, but I figure if there is an opportunity and Abi is recognizing when the need is there... why not?
Hope you enjoyed our story,
Later,
Angie :)
