Elley lately has been showing interest in using the potty. I guess it's been about a month now. She always wants to sit on the potty, I always let her but obviously nothing happened. A few times while sitting on the toilet, she would actually go but only after I would turn the shower on so I just figured it was a fluke. Potty training never even crossed my mind, she just seems so young. She started by learning the concept of taking her own pants off. Then she would come and tell me "yuck" when she had a dirty diaper. Then, one day she came and told me "yuck", I checked her diaper but nothing was there. Sure enough 5 minutes later she had a dirty diaper. The next time this happened I was smart and put her on the toilet, and she actually pooped on the toilet. It was the funniest thing, she was laughing while looking into the toilet and saying poo.
Since then, every time she says poo and points to her butt, I take her in and put her on the toilet. She will sit there for at least 10 minutes (give or take) before she wants to get off. She hadn't gone again (on the toilet) until TODAY! She came to me and said, "poo" while pointing to her butt. I wasn't expecting much and after about 5-10 minutes I was trying to get her off. She kept telling me no. She can be very stubborn sometimes (she gets that from Adam's side of the family) so I just let her sit there. I went and got the camera to capture the moment. I actually got a video clip when she officially went, which will be a great video clip to show at her wedding, but to save everyone from seeing the official act I'll just post this picture.
Now I'm not saying that Elley is potty trained, because she is far from that, but hope that she continues to make this an "easy" process!
"Mom, come on? Would you like me to take a picture of you doing this?"

That is so crazy! I seriously hate and loath potty training. How awesome that she just taking it on. Lucky. (Come on...use your best Napoleon Dynamite voice.)
She is funny! You might have an easier time than most potty training her! Lucky! It's funny to read this, this morning because Meili was grunting and so I put her on the toilet and she went too! She has pooped about 3 or 4 times on the potty. The difference between her and her sister is that pooping on the toilet doesn't even phase her. She just goes and says "all done"! On top of that she doesn't even care when I clap and praise her....I am not sure if this is a good or bad thing yet...???
Geez- how lucky can you get? This will be a blessing when baby #2 arrives and diaper duty doubles. Yay Ellie!
Wow!! What a great trick! That is awesome that she is making potty training easy for you guys. She is so cute! I love that picture!! I hope the good luck continues! :)
