The Potty

Bless her heart - she tried!

We were laying in bed and I asked Lily is she needed to go potty. She didn't really say anything, but stood up and told Cassie to "Stay here." She turned around and told me the exact same thing. I thought she was going to play, then I heard the distressed cry - "Mommy!"

Her potty is one of those all-in-one. It is a self-contained potty that sits on the floor (I was told that it is easier for them to learn to go #2 if their feet can rest on the ground) and you can remove the seat to put it on the big potty and then use the rest of the potty as a step stool.

Well, yesterday we tried sitting with the seat on the big potty and I hadn't changed it back. I followed the voice to the bathroom. She had proceeded to pull her jammies and her pull-up down, but could not climb up onto the big potty before she had an accident. I feel sure that if it had been on the ground she would have done the whole process (pulling down, potty, and pulling up) by herself.
