You know it’s time
to start potty training when your fourteen month old grabs your leg , says “poh poh” and starts walking to the bathroom, where you find her one minute later (after you’ve wrapped up the emergency with your other child) standing IN the toilet with a newly soiled diaper. Guess I should have listened to her.
I’m sad to say that I don’t have photos, but I thought that would be a show of poor parenting, since I would have had to leave Etta standing in the toilet while I went to get the camera. Some parents (ahem, MOM) would have simply left their daughter waiting there, thinking that their daughter’s discomfort was a small price to pay for the pleasure they’d get from the photo.

Etta’s Hats
Where I’ve Been
Yes…it’s time.
That is great! I so wish my kiddo was a bit more proactive in her potty training! Ok, maybe not standing in the toilet, but at least Etta has an understanding of what the toilet is for!
She is so smart!
Yeah, I think Etta may be all talk (well, and a little bit of action by jumping into toilets). I think actually getting her to use the little potty is going to be far more difficult. Right now she likes to use it as a stepping stool most of the time!
