The art of the potty...

There will be no pictures in this post because it just isn't right to post photos of Annie on her potty - I didn't say we haven't taken photos though!!! She is just SOOO cute on her duckie. We actually bought a ducky potty in China and Annie has used it since we came home. Not regularly or on her own mind you, but she has used it. For a while, she preferred to sit on her toilette insert on the "big" seat but mainly for number two!!!
So all this being said, Annie has now started to seriously potty train. We have an Ik.ea red potty in our en suite, we have ducky in the living room and both toilets have inserts. Last week we spent two days at home and Annie went from wearing her diapers to her Dora pa.nties. We were so proud and so was she. Actually most of the time she is just running around in the buff and using her ducky. There are times that she asks for her diaper but lots of times she asks for her "pa.nties" which are usually her pull ups and Mommy has one rule - you must wear pa.nties to the table!!! She hasn't worn her Dora's this week because we have been out and about. Most times Annie waits until she gets home but not always. Oh and I have a portable fold up potty seat that Annie used for the first time at playgroup last week. I was AMAZED!!!
People tell me that she is too young to do this at 22 months but she is so ready. Yesterday, she took off her pull up, sat on her potty and put her pull up back on ALL BY HERSELF - no prompting from Mommy. We are just going to keep plugging away - I don't expect this to happen over night and we have only had one accident in Dora's P's which let Annie know that when you wear pa.nties, you can't just go pee pee in them!! She only did it once!!!!!
Anyway, just wanted to document our darling's progress. She is such a happy little girl and this morning woke me up with the usual Mommy UP UP and then started singing the ABC song - she only does the A B C part but sings it to the tune all the way through. What a kitten.

Wow...good for her. Good for you too! I think Milana is more ready than Dahlia was at her age. I'm guessing in another few months.
