Lia is Potty Training

I wasn't really ready to potty train this little girl... but she has gotten to be really independent (read stubborn) about doing everything herself. When she started to insist on putting on her diapers by herself we moved to pull ups because she could pull them up and down. She really really liked these princess pull ups. And just like Emily, she picked one of the two patterns in the package that she liked better. She liked the pull-ups with the picture of 3 princesses over the pull-up that just had one princess on it. Then she would sort through the bag and wear all of those first.

I also bought her some princess panties, showed them to her, and then put them in her drawer. I told her to get them out when she was ready to sit on the potty. Well... yesterday she didn't want to put on a pull-up so I asked her if she wanted to wear her big girl panties. A defiant "No." was her answer. And then 5 minutes later she moved the chair over to her dresser, rifled through the underwear and was ready to put it on. I told her she would have to sit on the potty. The little nervousness she had about this was overcome by this GIGANTIC heart lollipop from her Godmother that I had been saving for just such an occassion.

She is actually sitting on the potty but I had to crop it for modesty purposes... Doesn't she look pleased as punch.... Thank you Aunt Stacey for providing the treats!

To date we haven't actually gotten any pee in the potty but we will keep trying!
