Potty Time!

On July 5th Madison got her big girl potty! She immediately asked to tee tee in the big girl potty. We sat down together (Mommy had to go too for encouragement) and she tinkled just a little. Of course we praised her like crazy and cleaned out the potty together. She asked to go again, this time emptying her bladder. We were thrilled with the immediate excitement around potty time! We asked Madison several times throughout the rest of the day if she needed to potty on the 'big girl potty'. She declined. Mommy got some pull up diapers the next day to encourage the up and down behavior. Madison decided she will potty train at her convenience. She's only used the potty 2 other times since, going first thing in the morning when we wake up. She does think standing on the potty (it's a stool too) to wash her hands is great fun, though!

We weren't planning on pushing potty training until after Pickle's arrival, so any successful potty time prior to that is just bonus for us!
