Proud of my girl!!

Guess who has gone poo poo in the potty the past three days? Yes, that would be Perri!!! What the heck you think? Yeah, I know. She's only 14 months old, but the girl isn't exactly discreet when she needs to go, and I would really like her to be fully trained by 2. My friend Jennifer told me her niece was potty trained at 18 months so this gives me hope!!

So, Saturday when she started making her face, I thought, I'll just sit her on the toilet and see what she does. Well, it didn't scare her at all and she was mainly interested in unrolling all the toilet paper. After removing the toilet paper so she couldn't unroll it all, I let her hold one piece and then said, "Perri, can you go poo poo on the potty?" She then, as if on cue, did her thing. OH MY GOODNESS!!! I went crazy!! And yelled at Craig to grab the camera haha.

She looked at us like we were fools and this was nothing new, but she got an animal cracker for it. Then again yesterday, same thing. So today we went to Target and got a little seat that fits on the big toilet so she can sit herself on there and not feel like she's going to fall in. So then after lunch, once again. I am loving just wiping her little booty and not dealing with the smashed poop on her and the dirty diaper!!


Halfway smiling at the camera, not sure why we are so excited.

Hi, just found your blog through Jennifer's.. that is so awesome.. and I agree with you, the younger you start them, the less afraid they are.. my three year old will pee in the potty but not Poop.. she is so scared of that..lol.. my bf babysat her niece and started potty trainig her at 12 months and she was trained in NO TIME..so the earlier the better!! Oh and what a cutie Perry is, your blog is so cute, I can not wait to read more!!

Have a great day!!

How adorable! I hopped over from Jennifer's blog too! I think it is great that both of you are catching the poop signal. I NEVER catch it! Until I start smelling it! HA!

I have an amazing potty training method on my blog that I did with my 2 older ones and have "coached" a dozen more through it. I have never seen it fail. It is geared for 20m+ but I trained both my older ones at right before 2.5.

take a look and hope it helps when you are ready!
