Potty training!

We have been using the potty, for about a month, as a place for Scout to sit while she brushes her teeth. The goal was to make the potty a place she liked and felt comfortable. She usually pees in the morning after waking up so we have been letting her be naked as we got ready in the morning. She likes to copy our morning routines and also use this as an opportunity to instill some good habits. She like to shower, brush AND floss and then put her sunscreen on.

On July 5th, while brushing her teeth she peed in the potty!!! Of course, we had a big celebration and we were all home to join in and congratulate her. From here on we kept a sun dress on her and let here keep the diaper off all day. She has used her potty, at least once, each day since. On the second day she came to me once to let me know she needed to go. On the third night she asked to take her diaper off to go potty. Last night she went poop in the potty while brushing her teeth after a shower!

She is 18 months old.
