For weeks now, Maggie’s been talking about ‘poop’, - in that hopeful, good way that gets you thinking it’s not a bad idea to dust off the training potties.
It’s no wonder; we’ve been reading “Everyone Poops” (*lots* – what is it about that book that kids love??) and Payton, her closest pal at daycare has been using the potty for a few months now. But up to now, despite recently going so far as to have us remove her diaper before sitting, her stints on the potty have been fleeting at best. I’ve not hung up any huge aspirations for an early adopter; Zoe killed those hopes with the 1.5 years it took to fully make her transition.
But tonight, after dinner, I was pleasantly surprised by Maggie’s interest in actually hanging out on her potty – for more than two seconds! – repeatedly! – for a total of about ten minutes. There was a bit of distraction, mind you, what with the gathering of proper reading materials and the sudden company of her big sis in the stall next to hers, but I’m not gonna complain about a girl who wants to talk poop and hang in the bathroom!
I figure if we can get her to actually go on the potty by February of 2012, we’re doing OK… ;)

Go Maggie! T was MUCH quicker to train than N - he wanted to do what the big boys were doing. So with luck, that will hold true on your side too :)
