The Queen On Her Throne


Rachel has always been fascinated with potty procedures in the house. Today she is home with a cold and it's a pretty hot day. So Colette left Rachel naked and introduced her to the potty chair. They read lots of books about using the potty and Colette told Rachel she could have 3 M&Ms if she went poo poo in the potty. Rachel sat on the potty many times and then finally went pee pee. Then Rachel ate lots and lots of her favorite fruit, cantaloupe, and sat on her potty while she watched The Wiggles. A couple of minutes later she came running into the computer room yelling, " Wook, wook. Poo poo in potty". Colette wasn't even in the room for the big event. Rachel had done it herself. In 8 days she'll turn 2 years old. Seems awfully young to potty train. We'll see if it's just a fluke or if we should invest in the 1 pound bag of M&Ms.

That is great to hear! Both my girls started potty training just before they turned two and were potty trained during the day time a few months after their second birthday. You might be on your way to being diaper free..... =)

Probably never too young to really potty train, really. I think girls are easier than boys though. Heck, Riley still has accidents and he's going to turn 5 next week. Madison knows when she needs to poop and says "poop poop" to let us know and 95% of the time we can spare having to do a messy diaper change. We'll need to get her on the pee pee part though but I suspect she'll be easier than Riley. Good luck on the potty training. I'm sure it'll be easier than the two boys were.
