Potty time

Before I get started, I just want to say I am not really potty training Ella already. We are just getting ready for it. And, if you don't want to read a story related to that then stop reading now. She is noticing when she poops and just starting to know when she pees. This just happened over night. One day I saw her squatting and grunting and asked her if she was pooping, she said 'poop', but didn't really seem like she knew. I was just wanting her to start to learn what was happening. The next day she came up to me and said 'poop', I checked her diaper, and there was no poop. But, she kept saying it. So, I checked again and she had just peed so I thought she was getting confused. But, she kept saying so I asked her if she wanted her diaper changed, and she took off for her room to the changing table. When I changed her she had pooped!!! I couldn't believe it...she knew she had to poop before she pooped. So, we bought a potty for her to start sitting on. And, she loves to sit on the potty, she hasn't used it yet. And, apparently her knowing she has to poop was a fluke because it hasn't happened again, but we are getting there. Now, to just get over my being grossed out by public bathrooms...

Cute! I have a picture of Tate on his potty chair too. We're potty training. Tate is finally gotten to the point where he doesn't scream every time I put him on it. Memories!!!!
