Woo-hoo! Carrie went pee-pee in the potty tonight! (Yep. I just used the word “pee-pee”. Get over it.)
This was all because she was stalling before bedtime. First she insisted on using the potty, sat on it for maybe half a millisecond, then ran into her room. When I followed her and said it was time to put on a diaper, she said “no, more potty!” and ran back into the bathroom. We did this three times, and the last time she actually sat long enough to do something! Yippee! No one was more surprised than she was, I think.
Carrie’s asked to use the potty before just about every diaper change for at least the past month, but this is the first time she managed to produce anything. Is this the start of potty-training? Probably not. Is it a step in the right direction? Definitely.
