Yes! Yes! That is right! Claudia is using the potty!
We had a potty party on Sunday. What's a potty party, you say? Well, it involves teaching a dolly to use the potty (including such stage props as prunes for poopy) and a potty chart with stickers and lots and lots of treats and liquids.
Claudia greatly enjoyed her potty party, although we discovered that she was not keen on actually peeing in the potty. She would sit on the potty and then jump up and say "I went potty! I went potty!" without actually leaving anything in the potty.
So, it looked like the potty party was planned a little too early. I decided that we would try again in a month or two.
Then yesterday, Claudia saw her underwear and said that she wanted to wear it. I was envisioning another day of pretend peeing. Then much to my surprise, she went into the bathroom and ran out and said that she really did go potty. I went in to check it out and much to my delight there was indeed pee-pee in the potty! I don't think that I have ever been so excited to see pee! We danced and sang, "Claudie went pee-pee in the potty!" and then we got treats.
She later went poopy too!
All in all, a very good day! Way to go Claudie!!

Excellent work Miss Claudia! Congratulations on being such a big girl!
ReplyDeleteWow, way to go Claudia! Using the potty! I don't remember the boys being that easy to get potty trained. Wilson pic for Valentine's Day is so cut. And I so enjoyed all the bits of information you shared on your blog about Claudia and Wilson. I so enjoy this blog connection to your family Rachel. You have made me feel like I have been to your home for a visit! It is so cool. I so wish that the net would come to Brian's area so we could connect more with him, Lauren and Henry. We're so much looking forward to going to the boat, in about another 4 weeks and we'll be heading down. Hugs and kisses to the kids and lots of love to all of you, Aunt Jock
