In our effort to slowly potty train Elle, we have recently introduced the potty seat. It's the kind that goes over the regular toilet seat. At first, Elle did not want to sit on it but it slowly grew on her. Now, she grabs the potty seat herself, puts it on top of the toilet and say "poppy, poppy" and the followed by "booky, booky" (meaning she wanted us to grab her a book to read). We got the sitting on the potty routine down. She knows she needs to sit on the potty as soon as she wakes up and before bath. She is now very familiar with the potty but having her go is another story :). She has gone to the potty a few random times but no consistency yet. Most of the time, she will just sit on the potty and ask us to read her a book. Most recently though, she told me "poppy time" so I took her to the potty, had her sit and after a few minutes, lo and behold, she went #2!! Wooohooo! I can tell that she is getting more conscious and can feel what's coming. She will randomly say "pee pee" or "poo poo" which can either mean she's about to do #1 or #2 or her diaper is full and want to be changed. We have been very lax with this potty training thing and have just been taking her lead. We'll have to wait and see where this potty training journey will lead us next :).
