Is today the day?

Is today the day Sophie will start using the potty again?
 She started in about 18 months no problem.. but we never pushed the issue... then she decided she didn't want to use it anymore so we backed off.. got pregnant with Caleb soon after and I didn't push it with her as I knew I would not be able to run her back and forth after his arrival.... but she was READY! Wakes up dry every day from sleeping and naps- tells us when she is going, when she needs to be changed... so we started in again as Caleb is now 1 month old... and she is FIGHTING us with tears! She doesn't want to be changed, she doesn't want to sit on it anymore or even try. We have always sat on the potty at night time and before tubs and sit with her as she whines and ask for a little push and let her toot up a tune to make it fun to sit at least... yeah I know too much details?

Her baby was sitting on the potty yesterday in the car- aka her lap... interesting?? Where may this be going as she is baby obsessed! She uses all of Caleb's baby things for her babies daily- emptying out his closet everyday playing with his car seat, swing, bouncy seat, clothes, play mats, bathtub, trying "to feed my baby my booby" as I resist the urge to cringe I tell her that her baby is big enough to drink from a bottle and only mommy does that with Caleb... So today she brings out her potty chair and seat from the bathroom instead of going to Caleb's room for his things...

Her baby has sat on the potty and peed, tooted and tried to poop- and she just told her baby "let me show you" as she sat on the potty (diapered) and peed! Hmmmm maybe we are onto something here- baby just motivated her to pee on the potty- or as she says "the flush."

Let's see how this works and as I cringe at the thought of a potty in my living room- it may just work... and if not at least it was a fun game for her in the mean time, as she closed the lid now and is jumping from the top (as its also a step stool) to her bean bag chair screaming "ready... ready.. JUMP!" :-) "did you see that comming?"

I love my kids!!! :-)
