Yay!

Miranda peed on the potty!

While cutting coupons, I decided I'd take the time to make her a simple potty chart. Just some big squares gridded out on a piece of paper. I showed her the Dora stickers and the chart and told her that if she peed on the potty she could put a sticker on her chart. So, she started to get excited. She asked to have underwear put on, so I did. We sat for a little while on the potty, nothing happening. I poured warm water on her area, as a suggestion I once got (plus she likes it) and got nothing. Still, I saw her pushing and told her it was a very good try. After lunch, we tried again. Suddenly, she stands up from her little potty and demands "Big potty!" Since it was nap time anyway we said that's fine. We went upstairs, I modeled how to pee while she got her face wiped and then we sat her on the big potty. I was drying my hands when I looked at her and she was PEEING!!!! I got so excited and shouted Yay!! I think I scared her because she stopped a second and then kept peeing. I was shouting and dancing! I was so proud of her! She knew the whole routine too! Wipe, flush, wash & dry! We went downstairs and put a Dora sticker on her chart, gave her some M & M's some loving and then put her down for nap.

A very exciting, satisfying morning!
