Potty Training- Day 5 (1/18/12)

Today has been a good day of potty training. Thanks to Donna for the advice. Our first trip after waking up resulted in nothing. Not long after while I'm checking my email, I hear pee hitting the floor. Oops #1 for the day. Clean up time.

Donna, mother and grandmother, gave me some advice that made bathroom trips successful. Pee pee makes bubbles in the toilet. So for the second bathroom trip- we sit and we wait to listen for the pee pee. It was partially successful. Valerie was so interested in the bubbles idea, she would be quite and stick her ear towards mine to see if she could hear the pee. No pee but that's ok.

Trip #3 did the trick. Valerie was so excited, grinning from ear to ear. "Mommy, pee pee made bubbles!" She even wanted to wipe herself, however, she couldn't quite reach. Her treat? She got to flush the toilet and a Nemo sticker. The Nemo sticker wouldn't stick well, so we got another one to replace it. This time it was Minnie Mouse.

The next trip was also successful. She said she didn't have to pee. So we went to try anyway. Voila!
