It's Potty Time!!

Justin took Lily last night to Babies'R'Us for her first potty! Of course it had to be Elmo! When I got home, Lily wanted to try it out. We took her diaper off, she wanted her magazine, and practiced wiping and flushing…the whole bit. She went through all the motions but no action.

So, this morning she woke up and Justin asked her if she wanted to go potty. I was a bit irritated since I had to get ready for work, and the night before it was a lot of pomp and circumstance with the diaper, etc. and Justin and I are not focused on actually "potty training" her until after the our CA trip. Anyway….she sat down again, with her magazine of course and I told her to stay seated (thinking that if she hangs out a while, nature might take it's course). I went to her room to throw away her wet diaper and I hear "Mommy, I pooped!" Not thinking that she actually did, I went into the bathroom and she DID!!! It was great! One less messy diaper to change!

We had a big cheer and parade around the bathroom and she was so proud of herself.

Of course, now all she wants to do is "potty" :)
