We are getting Annie psyched up to use the potty. This involves reading potty books and watching a DVD titled "Go Potty Go" in which a pair of animated pandas learn to use the toilet. It's a winner, trust me (insert sarcastic eye-roll here) Anne asks often to "watch the potty chair"
Anyway, we have a nice Baby Bjorn potty chair that I picked up at a garage sale for $5. Trouble is, our tall girl is a little too tall for it! She hated sitting on it because her legs were all catty-whompus. Last night we upgraded to a potty seat to put on the big toilet. Anne happily sat there for the better part of 45 minutes, reading books and drinking juice-laced water. (Sidenote: it is hard to sit there, silently willing your child to go, without feeling like you're going to wet your pants! My internal monologue was "Go! Don't go!")
After sitting there with no action, Anne got down and I'm not kidding you, walked into the hall and peed all over the floor. If she had just sat there for 10 more seconds!!! I guess we will try again tonight, hopefully with better results.
**Oh, and also, we bought some big-girl underwear at Target and Annie proceeded to walk around shouting "UnderWEAR! UnderWEAR!" until we told her to stop. What have we gotten ourselves in to?

Wait until you have her in a beautiful Christmas dress and she decides to show off her new underWEAR!
