Peeps on the Potty

Jane's interest in the potty started to peak after spending Labor Day weekend with my 4 year old niece. She wanted to sit on the potty but nothing ever happened. Then Cate was born, life got busy and her interest in the potty went away. Well, after spending Christmas with my niece, she is now VERY interested in the potty. On Monday, we started putting her on the potty first thing in the morning and have encouraged her to sit throughout the day. She has now peed on the potty at least once every day this week, which has been very exciting for all of us! She is now eager to wear big girl underwear and while we are glad to see such enthusiasm, we aren't ready to take that step just yet. I think we are going to try a few more weeks of the regular sittings and then go from there. We don't really know what we are doing, so I guess I should get a book. Any suggestions?

It is so funny to hear her talk about the potty. She says things like, "look mom, it's yellow!" Today we went to the Jump Zone and she asked to use the potty. Turns out she didn't have to go but that is ok. After she was done, I told her that I had to use the potty. Once I started to go (I know, TMI), she was excited and said, "good job mom, you are going potty!" These things are very exciting when you are two. Love this girl!
