Potty Training for Grown Ups

So I think Molly's about ready to start potty training. I haven't been too concerned with it because I wanted her to be ready when we started the process, and I thought we would get completely settled into the new house before we started something else drastic in her life. Plus I don't think daycare really pushes it much until they are 2. But she's been showing signs of being interested, like watching me go, getting toilet paper and throwing it in between my legs, flushing the toilet, etc. And the other evening she took her diaper off and wore big girl panties until it was bath time with no accidents!

Well, she was at her Grandma Donna's today and Donna said she got "the look" on her face. This is the text I got from her:

Sorry for the poop pic, but I about peed my own pants reading this!!! Hilarious!

This reminded me of another incident that happened a few weeks back. Molly was taking a bath and she said "Momma, poop?" I said "Molly, you have to go poop?" She said "No". So I thought we were just gonna talk about it for a minute, until I saw it floating. I immediately got her in a towel and told her to go see Daddy so I can get the tub cleaned up. So, she goes to Joel and says, "Daddy, poop?" He said "Molly, you have to go poop?" (fully knowing what just happened in the tub). She said, "No" and then the next thing we know, she poops in the floor!!! (This story is funny now.)

So Molly's taught us grown ups 2 lessons so far in potty training:
1) Put her on the toilet when she says "poop"!
2) Let her finish!

I'm sure she'll teach us more lessons before she's potty trained. Hope we're quick learners!

Love, Jen
