Potty time!

This picture cracks me up!! It is a classic "learning to use the potty" picture! She has all of the necessities...chap stick and a drink!


The past week or so Brynn has decided that she does not want to wear diapers. On Monday she said "No diaper." I decided that I should take this cue from her and try the whole "potty" thing. I put her big girl Dora underwear on her and pulled the potty out. We brought her baby doll in and had the doll pull down her underwear and sit on the potty. Then we clapped and said yay baby peed on the potty. Brynn thought it was pretty funny. I set the timer to remind myself to ask her to go pee every 15-30 min. I also told her she would get a M&M if she peed on the potty. She sat on the potty but wouldn't pee and didn't seem very interested in getting a M&M. So I told her she could get a piece of gum if she peed in the potty. Once I said that she got up sat on the potty and peed! She then immediately said "Gum, gum!" She only had one accident on Monday and one on Tuesday as well! I can't believe I'm getting my 2 year to pee on the potty with GUM! What ever works...Today she has done even better and pooped on the potty. Too much info but I'm sure all the moms reading this really appreciate this info...sorry dads! So she is doing very good and I'm going to go with the flow. If she starts to have more accidents or becomes not so interested in it anymore I'll stop...BUT for now she is peeing and pooping on the potty. It can't possibly be this easy, can it??
