Maggie's new potty ritual


A few months ago, Maggie began shoing an interest in the potty. We, of course, were thrilled. No more diapers means more money in our pockets. Maggie would sit and go and then be on her merry way. She was by no means potty trained because unless you asked her, she would prefer to go in her diaper.

I have decided (note this i my decision--not hers) that this potty training
thing needs to get a move on, so last night I began asking her every 15 minutes
or so if she needed to go potty. The fun happened this
morning:)

I take off her diaper, ask her if she has to go, she runs to the potty, does three drops, pours it into the toilet, then puts the bowl back in the potty, and sits on it again. She goes potty again (about 3-5 drops), pours it into the toliet, then puts the bowl back in and sits again. I think the girl did this 8 or 9 times (which means a 15-20 minute process). I hope that at some point she will allow it all to just flow out at once!
