She's a Big Girl Now!!
My BIG GIRL peed in the potty for the first time on Friday!! She didn't only pee one time, she peed 5 times!! Yay Alyssa!!!
Since we had no plans on Friday, I decided when she woke up on Friday morning, we would go bottomless all day (except for nap time). I put Alyssa's potty in the living room, so she could get more comfortable with it. She could sit on it and play or sit and watch TV. She would sit on it occasionally.
For the first three or so hours, nothing. I kept asking her if she needed to pee-pee. She would keep telling me "no". I was starting to think she was holding it, just because she didn't want to pee on the potty. Then she was playing, she looked up at me and said "Oh" and ran to the potty. She went pee-pee!! She was so excited, I was so excited. We danced and cheered. It was great!!
After her nap we left her bottomless again. Daddy came home and asked her to go potty for him to see. She didn't right away, but then she ran to me with a diaper begging for me to put the diaper on her. I didn't, but sat her on the potty and read her the "It's Potty Time" book a few times. She went pee again!! This time Daddy gave her a few marshmallows and she got so excited she went to the potty and did it again two more times. (She was pushing really hard...LOL). She went one more time before bed and once again begged for the diaper on.
Yesterday we left her bottomless in the morning before nap and she peed one time. We had a birthday party to go to, so we put her in a diaper. I kept asking about the potty, but she kept saying no.
I told Gary that I'd like her to be bottomless any time she is home. This is our first step in the right direction and I'm so happy!! Go Alyssa, you're a big girl now!!

Did you ever think you'd get so excited about someone peeing on a potty??? It's amazing how as a mother thinks like peeing and pooping can lead to such excitement!!!
Sorry I haven't been around lately. I suck! But I did post an update finally. Glad to see ya'll are doing so well. Your girls are breathtakingly beautiful .. just so ya know.
Yay for Alyssa!!! What a big girl!
That's exactly what we are doing here. Going bottomless all day. He peed on the pot once, but every other time it was "Momma Momma ooops!" then I'd see his legs were wet, go find the spot on the floor, then pull out the little carpet cleaner and try to get what I could before it started to stink up the carpet! lol He's being so tough with this. But I figure if I just try to make it as pleasant as i can, and no pressure, he'll get it sooner or later! We do the treats too, but it doesn't seem to help much! And we also tried bringing the potty out in the livingroom, but he has a cow and takes it back to the bathroom. At least he knows where it goes! Congrats to Alyssa!
That's awesome! I know that is a big step for Alyssa and she seems to be doing great! Keep up the good work!
