Junior: September 2007 Archives
It's been a long time coming, but Magda finally bonded with the toilet. We started putting her on the toilet who knows how long ago, but most of the time she just took it as another place for reading books (which, personally, I can totally relate too). If she ever did something, it was by accident and she'd be surprised by it - and not always thrilled.
This has been baffling to me, since whenever we went to B&N, she'd always eagerly visited the potty-training-books section and always wanted some of them read to her, Once Upon a Potty being a favorite. And when Kayleigh started using the commode, she was always suitably impressed.
Well, they tell you not to push them into it, and sure enough, she decided she was ready on her own. And then the transition was pretty darn fast. So now we only put the diaper on for the night, and it's been dry in the morning for close to a week! I wonder how long one can recycle a dry diaper?
Anyways, going to the potty is still a big event and all of it gets celebrated. She sometimes proudly announces her bowl movements to strangers; and just today we were standing around the toilet chanting "Bye, bye poo poo" in unison. But I don't care - my girl's out of the diapers and we couldn't be any happier.
