I bought a little potty chair for Leah last week before we went away for the weekend (more about that later) just to see how she would respond to it. Even though it might still be a little early for that, I figured it would be good to introduce her a potty chair and start talking about it. When I first brought it home, she immediately sat on it and thought it was the coolest new toy. She kept taking out the potty bowl insert and putting it back in backwards, or trying to wear it on her face or head, or put her foot in it. She also enjoyed carrying the potty around upstairs and putting it in the shower stall.
Well, today I went ahead and sat her on it for real while reading magazines, and within a few minutes, she pooped in it! I made a big deal about it and later on in the day, I put her on it after her nap and she did a pee-pee, and again I made a big fuss. So, we'll keep working on it and see if she's still interested in it and starts making a connection. I'm not planning on switching to training pants anytime soon or anything like that, it's way too early for that, but just giving her a chance to practice. Any tips or tricks on potty training are welcome!
