Peeing

We had a pretty exciting day in the Haggerty household today. Jon and I were going to Target and contemplated buying Cadence a potty chair. We looked and looked and decided that it wasn't the right time. As we're roaming around the store, Cadence does 'the squat' and has 'the look' on her face and says 'uhgt-oh butt butt'. She has been telling us 'butt-butt' when her diaper is full but she hadn't told us as she was going or just about to go, until that moment. Jon and I looked at each other and headed back towards the potties. We figured this was a sign that we needed to get the potty chair today. We picked one out and were on our way home. When we got home Jon opened the new potty while I changed Cadence's stinky diaper. When I was done, I asked her if she wanted to try to use her new potty. Since she was already un-clothed, I figured why not! She immediately got the hang of it and sat right down. Jon ran upstairs to get some batteries (yes her potty talks and sings to her). Cadence sat down a couple times and the third time, she actually went pee-pee in the potty! I was so excited, I'm surprised you couldn't hear me from MN. We looked at the pee, we talked about the pee and we jumped for joy!
Well, a couple hours later, Cadence wanted to try to sit on her potty again. She peed again, but this time is was all over the floor! I don't think I ever thought to prepare myself for a child peeing on the floor. I laughed pretty hard! Well, not even an hour later, guess what? Yup, she wanted to try her potty chair again! This time, with success!! I can't tell you how proud of her we are. I guess we thought that she was way too young for potty training. Don't get us wrong, we know it will be a very long road ahead but we are so excited and proud of Ms. Cadence!
So, for not wanting to buy a potty chair today, I sure am glad we did!!
