i got off the compute and spent quality time with my little girl. she loves reading books together. we also went for a walk. she insisted on carrying both her small watering can and my large one halfway to the end of the street and back, picking up rocks, wood chips, and a penny along the way. the penny was added to her ceramic precious moments "boot" bank. i think she has over $2 in her college fund now.
she asked to wear her big girl pants (training pants), so some of the afternoon was spent practicing going potty. she didn't actually go in the toilet, but she sat comfortably for a couple of 5 minute stretches. i wonder if the little training potty would put her in position that makes it easier for her to relax her muscles and go than the toilet insert. anyway, she definitely has the hang of flushing, sitting nicely, etc... now to do the deed! it's so cute because she calls it "practice potty" when she tries. i let her play with stickers while she sat there. she loved it when she took two circles and put them on her toes, and i told her she had "oh's on her toes!".
as we went for a stroll later this afternoon, she held her toy frog and bunny. i could have sworn she was having a conversation with her animals about potty practice... it was a mix of toddlerese, but it was so cute!

We're a while away from the potty for real but I have a couple inserts that I put her on occasionally and she has actually gone a couple of times. I wonder if later on a little potty would be easier for her to sit on for awhile but then my "but I don't want to clean it" comes through and I shelve the idea.
yeah, we have a potty that someone else's kids refused to sit on. it's also a good step stool. right now it's used for that and as a toy receptacle. today has been an uninterested day.
